A Relaxing Day

Had a lovely sleep-in this morning after training legs last night. Today is a rest day from the gym, so we got up and had our protein shakes then headed off to the park for a walk with our dog, TJ. I used to walk him all the time when he was a puppy, but he weighs about the same as me now and it's a real workout to control him sometimes, so now my husband walks him and I trail along behind them, trying to keep up, LOL. TJ found another dog to play with at the watering hole, so that tuckered him out a bit. He kept wanting to stop for a rest on the way home, which was fine by me!

After we got back from the park I did my 30-minute core yoga DVD. I haven't done it for a while and found it hard but enjoyable. Then it was time for breakfast. I haven't had cereal for ages so this morning it was Bran Flakes, yoghurt and vanilla protein powder all mixed together, with berries on top - yum.

I usually try and wait about an hour after eating to have a coffee, so I don't hinder the absorbtion of iron in my meal, so I sat with hubby while he ate his meal, then we washed and dried the dishes, and put the coffee on to perk. We took our coffee outside and had a good chat while enjoying the sunshine. TJ sat with us chewing on an old bit of bone, which I think was the remnants of the one in this pic.


So the first part of my day was all about having some quality time with my family, and it was a very relaxing way to start the day.
