it's a dog eat shit world....

there seems to be a growing consumer market for dogs....they make everything for dogs..clothes, shoes..i have even seen gourmet dog treats for dogs. and what's even crazier is you can get recipes on how to cook for your dog. let me repeat that, in case you didn't get it the first time. RECIPES TO COOK FOR YOUR DOG. really? seriously. now, i love to cook. it's something that i have grown to really enjoy over the past few years and i'm sure once we move and i have my fabulous new kitchen, i'll enjoy it even more. to me, nothing is more satisfying than cooking for someone and them telling you how great it is..i love that! but here's my question: why in the HELL would i cook for someone who eats shit?? and not just their own shit, any shit they can find. lola has been eating shit...and not just her own...i've seen her wait behind oscar as he shits and then pounce on it like it is filet mignon. i mean, i'd like to think if i was going to eat shit, i'd definately stick to my own. i know what i put in my body so therefore, i know what comes out. but someone else's fecal matter?? no thank you. i'll pass. but lola doesn't seem to mind..any shit will do. and one of them puked in their kennel and she was chowing down on that, too!!! disgusting. cook for dogs?? no chance.

anyhoo, i am now up to five days a week at boot camp. and i'm loving it. i can feel everything getting tighter and my ass better rock in a bathing suit due to the MILLIONS of squats and lunges i am doing. also, they may be ice skating in hell because i have actually changed my diet. i repeat, I HAVE CHANGED MY DIET. you will find no peanut butter m&m's in this house. i'm trying~and doing quite well~to have three 300 calorie meals a day with two 100-150 calorie snacks a day. i'm keeping a journal which helps a lot....i will pass on a tip that the nutritionist at lifetime fitness gave me. you should not eat anything with HIGH FRUCTOSE CORN SYRUP~which is literally in almost everything~and partially hydronated oils. so i am reading every label before i buy or eat. the high fructose corn syrup is such a chemically altered substance that our body doesn't know what to do with it so it stores it as fat.

so there is your nutrition tip of the day. follow it. don't follow it. but i tell you, eating better has made me feel better.

have a great saturday!! enjoy this gorgeous weather!! :)
