My day off today was a very active one.
I spent a couple hours cleaning out the fish pond pump, which is the nastiest, most disgusting chore ever. Ever. Don't get a fish pond.
No one should ever have green algae spray into their eyes as they disconnect hoses from an algae filled pump that hasn't been cleaned since September.
Yeah. That happened.
Ewww.
Anyway, after all that grossness, I needed a little relaxation. The pup and I took a nice long walk around the neighborhood. The weather was gorgeous and she was feeling very energetic. We started off with a simple stroll through the park, but ended up walking around half the neighborhood.
So, my fishes are clean and algea free (for now), my pup is all tuckered out and I feel pretty good about my day.
What did you do today?

Eats for Thursday 4/14/11
I had training today for work and was not able to pack a lunch. I also found myself getting up super early to get there. Since I couldn't pack breakfast either, I ate some peanut butter toast before I left and packed an orange to eat there.
The orange was to deter me from eating the donuts and bagels I knew were there. Apparently, they felt that Dunkin Donuts would be the best option for breakfast.
Don't we all work in the health care field, people?
Sheesh.
Anyway, we decided to go to a buffet across the street for lunch. It was quick, inexpensive and close. Thankfully, they had a pretty good salad bar with lots of healthy options. I think I did pretty good, given the other, unhealthier options.
It was also a gorgeous day. By the time we got out of training, I was ready to hit the trails for a nice walk in the sun. I loaded the pup up and off we went.
I'm really feeling good about being back on track. Maybe I'll actually see results this week.
Cross your fingers.

Eats for Wednesday 4/13/11
I copied some recipes from a friend's WW cookbook recently. It was one of the books I don't have.
One of the recipes was for a coleslaw chicken salad with peppery dressing. It's shredded chicken over coleslaw mix with tomatoes, bacon and a dressing made with FF mayo, mustard, vinegar, caraway seeda and crushed peppercorns.
The first taste wasn't too bad. However, when I went to eat it for a whole meal tonight, it was just too overwhelming. The flavors in the dressing just didn't come together quite right for my taste.
Disappointing.
I'll be eating out tomorrow for lunch because I'll be in training all day and can't pack lunch. Not sure what I'll be eating yet. I just hope I can make good choices. I'll be with a group, so peer pressure will be upon me!
