Dog Walks
We walk our dogs everyday ... rain, shine, cold, fog ... you name it we are out there. We usually leave at 6:15 AM and return about 7:15 AM. It is a 3.5 mile round trip and a good time is had by all ... well on most days.
Today, we left later ... it is still the holiday season at the Lorenzen House and we have been sleeping in. But the problem with leaving later,is that we encounter a lot more people on the walk with dogs and most of them do not practice proper dog etiquette.
I can't believe the amount of poop that is not picked up ... huge piles left for the world to walk through. It is really gross and I think Pacific Grove P.D. could make a nice little bundle on fining the perpetrators.
Then there are the people that have obnoxious dogs ... they know it, you know and still ... they let them come as close as possible ... teeth bared and high pitch bark turned up on max ... and then they just look at you like "sorry" or they say "bad dog" ... yeah right bad dog ... I say bad owner and go get a real leash ... if your dog is misbehaved he certainly has not earned the right to walk 20 feet ahead of you!!
Next Monday, we are back on the regualr early morning schedule and even though it is early, we have our regulars and they all have great dogs that know how to behave! Shout out to our dog pals ... Casey, Pepper, Peach, Poppy and Noel and the puggies ;p

Oh, right ... I made a deal with myself!
So here goes ...
Today I start eating healthfully for the year. Not that I eat a lot of junk ... because I have celiac disease and I am limited to eating only gluten-free anyway ... but I have found ways to cheat and generally over eat.
Well, all that stopped today. No chips at Mexican restaurants, no more diet cokes, french fries, or anything else that I know it is not nutritionally good for me.
So far, so good ... we ate lunch at Pepper's and I didn't have any chips ... and now, I am making dinner and I am in total control of what goes into making the meal.
I am making roasted chicken breasts with black eyed pea salsa, roast potatoes and steamed broccoli.
Today wasn't so hard but I probably have a high serum count from all of the over eating I did during the holidays ;p

Gearing up
I have been thinking a lot about how I want to live in 2009, and with being said one of the things I will be doing is following a very strict, very healthful diet. I am going to attempt to only eat healthy, non junk food food.
I think by journaling every single day it will help me to stay on track. We'll see how it goes ... I am hoping for the best.

Yep I'm blogging!
Because I spend so much time reading everyone else's Blogs, I have decided to start one of my own. I will be attempting to share a slice of my life with those of you who care to read it and with that ... Here goes nothing!
