"Some people live to eat, but we eat to live.”


So today has been a busy day.  We got up at 6 this morning and took our dogs on a walk.  Marcus, our foster, did really well on the walk.  We used our pinch collar, which makes controlling the dog much easier.  We also use a pinch collar with Olive and Riley is so obedient that she can walk without a leash.  Our foster Marcus is so sweet.  He’s always wagging his tail and he seems to catch on quickly (like walking on the leash and using the doggy door) and he’s house trained.  He did, however, poop right in the middle of the trail on our walk this morning.  I hope this sweet guy finds a home quickly.

I don’t have many stats from our meals today as didn’t write them down and I don’t remember any of them.  This morning once we got back we decided to have breakfast burritos using our 0mg sodium soft corn tortillas.  We scrambled some eggs, cheese and black beans.  Clay added jalapenos to his and I sprinkled some red pepper flakes on mine.  I will have to say that the tortillas tasted like thin cardboard…..no flavor and hard, even after being warmed up in a skillet.  Oh well, I suppose we’ll get used to the taste.

We saw the final Harry Potter movie this morning and it was great.  I even got a pair of cool Harry Potter style 3D glasses.

We also had Clay’s sisters wedding rehearsal tonight and the food thing was not that big of a situation.  Clay had a piece of roast (which had a sauce or stock on it) and a salad.  Since we didn’t cook the meat we don’t really know what the stock was and how much sodium was in it.  This whole lifestyle change in pretty challenging and Clay says that he’s hungry all the time since our portions are smaller.  Our new favorite quote is, “Some people live to eat, but we eat to live.”
