My “foster” puppy is here. He’s my sister’s dog but she lives in NYC and works at a popular BBQ restaurant there so it’s difficult when he’s home alone for so long most days. We’re taking him for a while to make things easier on her. So yay for puppy time on the blog! He is a shih-tzu and is 8 years old. But I will call all my dogs puppy. Anyway..back to the rest of my day..

After my post I cleaned the apartment, then headed to the gym.

My Work-Out:

Treadmill(Warm-Up): 4.0 at %6.0 incline for 5 minutes

Elliptical: 15 Minutes at level 7 hills program(ouch)

Chest Press: (40 lbs.) 3 x 20

Lateral Pull-Down: (30 lbs.) 3 x 20

Sitting Row: (30 lbs.) 3 x 20

Chest Fly: (30 lbs.) 3 x 20

Total time: About 35 Minutes

Good work-out! Not too long, but I did what I could with the time I had. I got off my butt and sweat a lot and that’s great.

After showering up, I made a lighter lunch. I believe this is what fellow bloggers call a Hugh Jass salad:

Mmmm, my fave. Spinach salad with brocc, baby carrots, a little gorgonzola crumbles(the last of ‘em) and some goddess dressing on top.

I had been borrowing my in-laws car for a week and a half, I actually drive my father-in-laws jeep until January when I get a new car (yay!) and they dropped my jeep back off the other day. Getting into my car I found a present: a bag of Jelly Bellys!! Ohhh man..trouble right there..

I munched..

Don’t worry this was taken at a red light. I munched throughout the evening.

I headed out to my mother-in-laws to help grade. Once I got there I felt so drained! Well, duh I had no carbs with lunch! I now realize why I was so tired! I had toasted a slice of oatmeal bread to have along with my salad but totally forgot about it! I was in such a rush to get out the door. The salad filled me for a while though.

I graded for a bit then left to pick-up my sister at the airport. Boy did it start storming though. That lightning was insane! I got lost but finally made it. Good thing I had jelly beans..*munchmunchmunchmunch*

I picked her up and we headed back to my in-laws since they offered dinner for us and since it was dark, rainy, and eating outside(with Leo) was out of the question we agreed! Good thing too, dinner was super yummy!

Pork, fresh steamed green beans, rice, and cornbread! Oh yes, and some homemade cranberry sauce. Plus some unpictured peas. Am I weird that I love peas? I went back for two more scoops after I ate one!

I went back for seconds on…..everything. I ended up eating two and a half slices of cornbread. I love corn anything, hence the arepa the other day. I LOVE cornbread. Oh man, and this was the good ol’ jiffy box cornbread. Yuuumm!

After dinner, I had a cup of coffee and we headed home.

Oh and my nephew…

Everybody, meet Leo. Leo, meet everybody..

He was on Benadryl and some Rescue Remedy to calm him during the flight so he’s very sleepy. He goes to a holistic vet in NYC, awesome right? I actually used rescue remedy when my anxiety was high. I love it, and need to get more. Good to know it’s okay for dogs! Ha..

It was hard to get him to look at the camera but you will see lots of pics of him! Especially since my sister is leaving him with us for a while. I want her to be able to keep up with him as well and the blog is the perfect place for that!

Tomorrow is a big day, especially since we’re headed to Jacksonville for Thanksgiving..YAY. I am off to make some tea and get some rest.

Goodnight!
