Good morning Vanessa:
Ah, the dog in costume would be your dog! So you have to post the picture. I have two not purebred, Siamese cats - boy Weasel, girl Swoozie. They will not consent to costumes! They barely will wear collars! Hahaha! I can tell you love the animals, the run you plan is for a shelter, right? So who and what are your pets. I know you have a dog! I know blondie has a naughty cat, hehehe!
Glad you won't be running in the rain today
I'll be swimming in a hot water pool all covered and warm. It's really the best thing for my fibromyalgia, but I have a bit of a drive to get there and it is expensive. So I just go two days a week. We have the best (and cutest trainer) Nathan. He just finished college and knows so much about sports medicine. I have been demanding he read "China Study" too - he is a health professional so I think it's mandatory for him. For you, just pleasure reading though
It's a bit scientific, but boy is it eye opening!
I am glad you are seeing savings on the food. My costs have gone down by half! Mostly, that was getting rid of processed foods. Just like you I was adding like protein to my meals. I knew that the plants had enough protein and I didn't need to, but I couldn't visualize like broccoli without tofu or something. I am over that now - due to the reading and these much lower grocery bills.
I think blondie is the Queen of food savings though, she even buys oats and rice in 50 lb bags and then breaks those into gallon bags for her freezer. Clever saver- I love that she said it takes up the room where some of the meat used to be. Her hubby still eats the meat like yours. Cool that both of your husbands are supportive
Well, got to go - have FUN today!
