Salmon Salad

Last nights dinner hit the spot……..

That was the last of our Salmon from Jack and Carol!

And then we walked……Bill and I have been loving our nightly walks.

Hope your having a great week!

Our walk

Bill and I are still going on our nightly walk after dinner.  It is about two miles long and takes us into the hills where we get to see some awesome views.

Last night the weather was especially lovely with no fog and a bit of sun still shining.

So I decided to take along my camera………

It is a great walk!

The only draw back is that it is too hard for Pepsi.

So she just has to sit at home and wait.

On a side note……Bill has yet to pass that kidney stone…….any words of advice?

Happy Tuesday :)

 

Good monday morning

Good morning friends!

And here is to another week of things to enjoy.

This morning I am already working on my To Enjoy list. Thanks Heather :)

I got up to blue skies and a warm breeze and a lovely walk around the neighborhood with Pepsi.

She and I both loved it :)

Now I am drinking my coffee and she is sitting right by me.

Silly girl!

Anyway, I mentioned a while back while I was on vacation that it was easy To Enjoy things when I am off work but more of a challenge to find things in my day to enjoy when I am busy running around.

Well today I am making a conscious effort to find the joy even when I am at work :)

Here is my list:

  • walk Pepsi (done!)
  • savor my coffee (doing that!)
  • appreciate my office at work (it is bigger than my last one and cuter!)
  • enjoy my leftover snobby joes I made last night for lunch (yum!)

  • enjoy a good dinner with Bill
  • sit in our new-to-us patio area

  • walk with Bill after dinner

What is on your list today?

Hope you have a great day………

Fitting it all in

Good morning friends!  Let’s hear it for Wednesday :)

And I have the next two days off (Thursday and Friday) so that is even better……

Speaking of days off, since I have been working again and not on vacation, I obviously have not been working out as much.

What have I been doing you ask?

Well I have been going on morning walks with Pepsi.

It is the very first thing I do when I wake up.  I just stumble out of bed and put her leash on.  I guess it is my way to wake up and I love that time with her.

I have also been going on nightly walks with Bill.

We try to pick a strenuous route and usually cover about 2 miles.  It is a great way to end the day and catch up.

I also have been breaking out my yoga mat.

But I have not been doing yoga (maybe I should).  I have been doing core work and push ups and yes using that foam roller.

Also, I have been riding…..just not every day.

I usually ride both weekend days and then fit in a ride or two during the week.

Could I be doing more?  You bet. But I have to honestly say I do not like to put lots of extra pressure on myself when work on its own is stressful enough.  I want my work outs to be invigorating and de-stressing-not he other way around.

What I would like to do is add in some yoga, maybe an occassional run and or boot camp.

Does work make it harder for you to workout as much as you like?

It does for me!
