Doggone It

Happy Saturday friends!! This is my last weekend as a working woman. Or, at least until I become an employed Torontonian. <?that word looks silly

I was thisclose to calling it a rest day today, but I got my butt out of bed and managed to stay pretty active!

I passed out at the usual time last night and was up at the usual workweek time. My body likes to stick to a schedule, what can I say.

I?ve actually been going through nut butter faster than I can eat oats out of them! Not today though. I?ve been saving this baby ;)

I savoured this so slowly that it actually got cold by the end. Something that never happens in the insulated jar. Maranatha should just sell near-empty jars ;)

That held me over for a while because there was probably a quarter cup?s worth of almond butter in there (exaggeration, maybe). Grabbed a ?treat? for a snack to power me through kickboxing.

I want to like this flavour, as in my head it should taste like a chocolate chip cookie (probably my favourite food on the whole planet).

 
But I think I rather just eat a buttery cookie. Still a decent bar though ? Maple Nut is the best!

Body Combat was not as tough this week! It?s a new ?release,? which means the songs and moves have all changed. A lot less jumping around, and a lot more punching. Meant my heart rate was lower, and my already sore biceps are now super angry at me. Incline curls kill them every single time.

The forecast called for rain today, but it hadn?t started yet by the time I got home. Archie was aalll over me to go for a walk, so I tempted fate and took him. Ten minutes in the sun came out and it was beautiful!! Ended up taking him along the river, for just over an hour. Archie was a total rockstar and made friends with everyone we met. People are never that friendly when it?s just me ;)

I also did a lot of observing of my fellow dog walkers ? it?s true that people and their pets resemble each other.

It was almost 3pm by the time I sat down for lunch and I was starved.

 
Nothing fancy, just food in my belly as quickly as I could get it there.

Hummus, laughing cow, tuna and tomato sandwich.

Lemon yogurt mixed with plain (to cut back on the sweetness) and some All Bran Buds for crunch.

 
This was crazy delicious. It was probably part hunger, but definitely a satisfying meal :)

Archie had something to eat too, and then passed out from exhaustion.

Poor fella, he was really struggling to keep up towards the end of the walk! He definitely doesn?t have the same energy he did 13 years ago?

Dinner was a quick and simple stir-fry.

 
Shrimp and chicken breast with a plethora of frozen veggies (Europe?s Best Imperial Blend) sesame oil, Bragg?s and a drizzle of teriyaki.

And just so we?re clear, I had a piece of chocolate after every single meal today ;)

After dinner, I went out for another walk with a friend! 90 minutes in and all around downtown. T?was fun, but my feet are hurting after being on them all day. Going to spend the rest of the evening curled up, finishing Black Heels to Tractor Wheels: The Pioneer Woman?s true life Harlequin romance story . Love her.

Question of the Day: If you could get any (additional) pet, what would it be? This is something else I think about a lot, because I reallyreally want a dog someday. Probably the only thing that makes me desire settling down. Depending on where I live, I want either a basset hound or a cavalier king charles spaniel. Both of which probably resemble me in some way ;)
