Sore from the few strength-training exercises I attempted yesterday, I have to admit, I have done very little today.

Exercise:

  • Dog walk - medium pace, short route in am but long route with fast pace in pm

  • cereal bar
  • low-fat Greek yoghurt with strawberries
  • Kashi pizza - whole darn thing!
