Going to the park with these two adorable guys totally made my day. I love them so much and we have a lot of fun together, so I’ve been in such a great mood since we left Bare Cove Park this morning.
Today’s park adventures included lots of running (by both humans and pug).
And plenty of picture-taking (as usual).
Lunch
After the park, I threw together a quick lunch of leftovers: homemade pizza with an Almond Flour Flax Crust + sweet potato wedges. It doesn’t look like a pretty lunch, but I promise you it tasted delicious!
Snack
And now I’m killing the rest of a large container of Chobani Greek yogurt as an afternoon snack.
I’m off to finish the rest of my Sunday To Do list. I already cleaned and organized the refrigerator, which was surprisingly a very satisfying task. I highly recommend it, especially as a healthy way to start off the New Year!
Enjoy the night, friends!

when i lived in NYC i would often take my dog and hubby to Bear Mountain. i have to find some kinda outdoor “bear” place in LA…
Love the action shots of Murphy!
The action shots of Murphy just made my afternoon. It looks like he was having a blast!
Looks like a perfect afternoon! You’d never guess it’s almost mid-January. 🙂
Murphy looks so small until I see a pic of you or Mal holding him and he looks huge! LOL
I love afternoons with dogs too. How funny, I just wrote a post about Food Safety and the importance of cleaning out the refrigerator!
PRetty park! It does look chilly though 😉
I hope to have pizza as leftovers today too-wahoo! I LOVE leftovers. Oh so much.
sounds and looks like a beautiful day at the park!! i love being outdoors with my husband and dogs too – always puts a smile on my face.
I just finished cleaning the kitchen, including cleaning the fridge and prepping food for the rest of the week- such a great feeling! Oh, and I of course had some “help” from our new little pup ;P
I read your post and took my 2 doxies for a walk…thanks for the motivation!
I love cleaning out the refrigerator! You make so much space that you had no idea was there!
Looks like you guys had a nice day and although it looks chilly, the sky is blue and the sun was out. That’s success in January 🙂
When I lived in that area, we used to bring our dog’s to Stodder’s Neck. I didn’t know of Bay Cove Park, but I bet it’s really close to where we used to go?
i wish there were dog parks like that here. all the ones here are just fenced in patches of grass with the occasional tree. and the small-dog parks are worse! (small dogs like action and adventure too!)
love that pic of murphy in mid-air! great shot!
Where did you get Murphy’s harness? I’ve been looking for a new one for my dog, and the one you got for him seems much comfier than others out there.
@Lena @Fit on the Rocks: It’s a Puppia! http://www.puppiaus.com/puppiaus/Home.asp
Looks like a beautiful Sunday! We are having the same, gorgeous weather you are. I am psyching myself up for the cold weather that’s coming, Thursday is only supposed to be a high of 28 here and it’s been in the 50’s the last three days. I already have spring fever!
I find cleaning the fridge and pantry to be two of my favorite chores. Any other type of cleaning, not so much. I also love chobani, I buy 2-3 of those tubs a week. I love to freeze it in little ramekins because it reminds me of my favorite tart fro-yo 🙂
I had the same type of morning…bringing my 2pizza dogs (and hubby) to the park &feel threw the ball around for them to chase!
I cleaned out my fridge&freezer before food shopping yesterday, love when its clean &feel organized !
Adorable pictures of your pup! Organizing my fridge is one of those things that makes me feel good. Meals stress me out so when my fridge is clean it makes things so much easier!
I give you props for going out all bundled up to enjoy the outdoors. If it’s as cold out as it looks in those pictures, I don’t think I could have done it! I’m such a baby about the cold! 😉
Aw Murphy looks so happy!
as weird as it is, i’m obsessed with having an organized + clean fridge 24/7.
happy sunday 🙂
Cleaning out the fridge is a really smart thing to do at the beginning of the year! Specially because typically you have some hidden nasties in the back lol ;D!
Ooh, yes, there was some nasty stuff in there!
I love work outs and fun outings that include my dog 🙂 It looks like you three had a blast, and what a beautiful park! Enjoy the rest of your weekend, Tina!
Looks like the perfect day! 🙂 Love the Murphy shots…:)
I too love cleaning out the frige and pantry! First thing I did before starting my detox this month!
i LOVE the two pictures of you standing by the lake and murphy is LEAPING! pure dog heaven 🙂
I think the tastiest meals are sometimes the ugliest. And there’s something so rewarding about killing a big tub of yogurt when it gets close to the bottom.
I simplified and did a clean sweep of my fridge and cupboards about a week ago. It helped me realize I’ve got some goodies hiding away that I’ve been meaning to try. Agreed that it makes ya feel better! 🙂
Looks like a lovely Sunday!
Re. your almond flour purchase (which I need to get my hands on too, stat!) – do you think you and Mal will ever give Paleo a try? It’s popular with Crossitters is why I ask..
**CrossFitters
@Joelle (on a pink typewriter): No, probably not. We’re not interested in giving up our favorite foods (oatmeal, cheese, beans, peanut butter, yogurt, etc.).
I always love to organize, leaves me feeling so successful and productive 🙂 I recently watched this show on Style network called “The Amanda’s” and its about this woman who is a professional organizer. She is WAY hardcore haha, but it definitely inspired me to become more organized..
I’ve never used almond flour. I need to check out the stats! But those sweet potatoe wedges sound delish! I just purchased some sweet potatoes and I’m thinking sweet potato wedges are in my near future! (:
You inspired me to make some sweet potato fries. They were delicious!
What a great fun day!!! I love having Sunday’s like that! Today I just baked, made pancakes for breakfast and vegetarian dish for dinner. But you know what, it was relaxing! Have a great week!!
Super size chobani 🙂
Oh man, Sunday to-do lists are the best. I love nothing better than setting up my home for a new week with laundry done, house tidied, fridge organised, and bathroom and kitchen sparkling. I feel like everything else is so much easier when there is order and tidiness.
That park looks beautiful! I love getting out into nature and just soaking it up. What a lovely Sunday!
Leftover pizza is the best…even better cold!
There is something about cleaning and organizing which gives a surprisingly satisfied feeling. I did it with my closet last weekend and have been saving so much time in the morning while getting ready for work – love it!
Sounds like our Sundays were very similar. Long doggie walk, leftover pizza and organization – perfect weekend wrap up!
Mmmm…. Chobani… 🙂 Looks like a nice time at the park!
