Spending Sunday morning at the dog park was easily the highlight of my day! :mrgreen:

Remember Murphy’s first trip to the dog park? He was so small and scared. He didn’t venture far from Mom and Dad at all.

Several weeks later though, Murphy was off making new friends right and left. He barely even hung out with Mal and me! Murphy was brimming with newfoundĀ doggie confidence!

Murphy even ventured off the beaten path to the water all by himself. Mal and I had to run down after him!

Our confident pooch looks a little sassy in this photo, now doesn’t he?

Murphy ran around, played fetch in the field, and practiced some tricks with Dad.

What a difference a month and a half made for Murphy! He was a totally different dog at the park today!

Lunch

After the park, I made a quick lunch: pineapple Chobani with Kashi Go Lean Crunch and a kiwi.

Before heading to the gym, I snacked on a piece of raisin bread with peanut butter.

Workout

I was in the mood for a tough workout, so I pumped some iron and then hit the elliptical for a 45-minute interval workout. I was a sweaty mess by the end.

Strength training:

  • Dumbbell Squats: 50 lbs, 20 reps, 3 sets
  • Dumbbell Lunges: 40 lbs, 20 reps, 3 sets
  • Leg Press (machine): 110 lbs, 20 reps, 3 sets
  • Leg Curls (machine): 40 lbs, 20 reps, 3 sets
  • PliƃĀ© Squats: 40 lbs, 20 reps, 3 sets

After the gym, I ran some errands without showering, which is something I rarely ever do. After about 10 minutes of sitting in sweaty workout clothes, I knew I had made a bad decision. Ick! Now I remember why I shower immediately after exercising! I can’t stand cold, nasty workout gear! šŸ‘æ

Dinner

It was Mal’s turn to make dinner tonight. I gave him a few ideas to guide his cooking though! šŸ˜‰

The star ingredient of tonight’s dinner: Laughing Cow Swiss Cheese.

Mal cooked a package of Nasoya noodles, steamed some broccoli, and added five Laughing Cow wedges for a low-cal, alfredo-like pasta dish. It was delish!

The broccoli + cheese was especially wonderful! šŸ˜€

I’m spending the rest of the evening relaxing and gearing-up for my first day at NuVal. I can’t believe I’m starting a new job tomorrow! I feel like my first day at Harvard was just the other day. I’m so nervous and excited about tomorrow!

To relax me, I made myself a mug of “Relax” tea and broke out some Scharffen Berger chocolates. I’m pretty sure the combo will make me feel better! šŸ˜‰

I’m so excited/nervous for tomorrow! Ahhh! šŸ˜Æ

See ya tomorrow!
