I did get the walk in with Ed!   We only went the 1.6 mile loop, because he hasn’t walked this far in a while, and I do have to remember that he’s getting older!  But the walks help him out so much, even if he is spent the rest of the day!

I usually let him sniff his way through the first 1/2 mile, then I just reign in his leach, and he just keeps with my pace for the next mile, then let him wander the last .1 mile

lots of downed trees too!

It's so pretty here - here is the view from the top of our loop - so lucky this preserve is literally a 2 minute drive from my house!

I like this path too because its not all flat - lots of little hills

Eddie's reward at the end! He drank a whole bowl of water!

So Hannah and I went to:

  • Walgreens to pick up my glucose test strips
  • Dominicks to drop off Hannah’s rewards application so she can get discounts at the register when I’m not with her
  • Walmart – sports bras!  I bought 6 for $20!!!  Ear buds for my iPod which I love 
  • Aldi – Soy Milk and cheap coffee creamer
  • Sparrow’s Nest – our local thrift store (I got a brand new pair of Ann Taylor open toe flats for $5!!!)
  • Dollar General (to stock up on ziploc bags and garbage bags)
  • Home!

When I got home I asked Tony if he was hungry and he was, and I remembered I needed to use this up or freeze it:

It was really tasty, I just seasoned with garlic salt and fresh pepper

My open face sammie: 1.75 ounces Italian bread, 3 oz. steak, .9 ounce low fat swiss cheese with dijon mustard for dipping!

  • I also had a serving of these in the car - THEY TASTE JUST LIKE DORITOS!

So with the chips and my sammie, lunch comes in at 465 calories, 12 fat and 48 carbs.

I cleaned the bathroom when I got back from our walk, now I have to tackle the kitchen – not too bad, but when the dishwasher needs to be emptied, dishes kind of stack up quickly!

Hope everyone is enjoying this weather today – although on the chili side its pretty.  Just in time for 1 -3 inches of snow tonight and tomorrow! 

Come on back for barbecued pork chops, scalloped potatoes and grilled marinated asparagus!

Also, don’t forget about BSI this week – tomorrow is the deadline!   Ruth’s pick is avocado!  I plan on making an avocado crab soup tomorrow for my sister-in-law when she comes over for lunch tomorrow! 

I also need to get in Day 4 of 30 of Shred, but I think I’ll let my lunch settle a bit before then!
