Week seven day seven

Yesterday I went for a walk after work. I was exhausted, it had been a stressful busy day, but I decided that a walk somewhere would be relaxing and better than trying to push myself at the gym.

It was just what I needed! Even though I was tired, it seemed to help melt the stress right off my shoulders! A few bald eagles flew over heard, I heard a meadow lark showing off his beautiful voice, and a flicker chattered noisily in the trees.

I resolved that this would be an ideal place for a walk after work everyday, and I ought to keep it up for my own good. One lap around is 1.6 miles, go I just need to go around twice to get a good 3 mile walk in.

I thought if I took a picture of something from my walk everyday it might be a great way to encourage myself to keep it up, and I'll have something interesting to look back on.

When I got home from my walk, I discovered my friends were still visiting (they were driving from Maine to New Mexico and asked to spend the night) so I went back out for another walk to Rabbit Mountain where we saw about ten deer.

Food for today:

I packed a little lighter, and left out the mini frosted wheats because I could be eating better than that!

Cashews and chocolate raisins (I still haven't eaten these yet!) mandarines, peas and grapes, cottage cheese, black beans and rice, and bananas and kiwi. And coffee, not shown.

Dinner will be Corned beef and cabbage, Irish soda bread and a side of some sort. I will have to post a picture, review and recipe for that tomorrow!

(well, it may take me a few days. The next two days I have training, let's hope I stay on track with exercise!)
