A Weekend of Challenges

This was both a wonderful and a challenging weekend for me. To begin with I started my volunteer training at the Placer SPCA. I won't bore everyone with everything I learned (which was considerable) but suffice to say I had a BLAST and I truly, truly love it. I leave that place so happy and beaming like a 6 year old a Chuck E. Cheese. There are some amazing animals there. But this blog isn't about them. It's my diary about getting healthy. Well, mistake #1 on Saturday...I did not get up early enough for breakfast before having to be at the SPCA by 7:50 and mistake #2...the first series of training ran over and I only had 15 minutes to find and to eat lunch. Mental note: I've got to spend more time planning ahead on healthy meals. It's too easy to get busy and grab something quick that isn't the best choice I can make. I didn't do badly with what I could do but it could have been better. Plus side was I was active all day so that's great. Plus, once my training is complete I'll be spending about 5 hours a week walking the dogs and getting in LOTS of exercise. These are not little itty bitty step dogs. They're big dogs with lots of energy who love to run so a workout will be had by both of us. Sunday was a run around day and I got to visit Darl and Jenny's baby Ethan. He's SO cute and fell asleep on my chest. I'm in love. Frank and I managed a healthy sushi meal I got too busy Sunday night putting a puzzle together with Sammie (who's genius at it...girl is FAST) so I forgot to eat. But I was active and busy all weekend so that's a good thing. No loafing around for me right now. Get up, get busy and get moving!
