149.2 Walking Our Dogs in the Park in Summer

I lost .2 pounds yesterday. For exercise we walked the dogs a mile in the park. Here is a picture of all of us. I love how the dogs smile at the unmanned camera just because we do!

That cart to my right is what Scott takes around to collect aluminum cans. He has a reacher that he uses to get them out of the garbage bins without having to touch them.

We walk in this same park almost every day, but each day is different. New people are there with their dogs. If we go early there aren't any people, but the squirrels are out. If it has rained recently there are puddles and the grass is soaking wet. Different neighbors are out in their yards that border the park each time: working on their cars, having yard sales, running through their sprinklers, or barbequing. 

Here is what I ate yesterday:

Special K and organic soy milk
1/4 cup peanut M&Ms
Bean and cheese burrito and salsa
1/4 cup peanut M&Ms
Apple, 2T peanut butter, dark choc chips
Steamed broccoli with lentil soup
1/4 cup peanut M&Ms
10 corn tortilla chips

146.2 Dogs in the Park

Here's a pretty good picture I took with the timer yesterday, of me and Oreo and Raffle walking in the park. Two other people were walking dogs, and my dogs are rapt with attention on the other two dogs! I'm never sure if they mean to fight the other dogs or make friends, if they get the chance. At the dog park they always make friends, but being on the leash makes them defensive.

We walked a mile, and I trained on the stair step exercise machine a few times when I was too excited to sit still at the computer and write. Still, I gained .2 pounds. That is OK. I am still within my weight loss goal of 145 to 149.9. Here is all that I ate yesterday:

Fuji apple with peanut butter and chocolate chips
2 slices of toast with peanut butter
El Monterey bean and cheese burrito with salsa
Leftover baked chicken, carrots and Brussels sprouts
Fuji apple with peanut butter and chocolate chips
Handful of chocolate chips
