The weather today was just what this Doctor ordered! We had the afternoon off, and spent if all outside, soaking up the rays and getting some things done outside. The wind was calm, the lake nearby was looking very good, and has been going down. Once we got done checking out the lake, then….

…we spent the rest of the time outside doing yardwork. Here Sarah is out working in the garden after getting it tilled, and ready to start planting. No medicine can do for you what being outside and enjoying the weather, and staying active can do. After such a long time always being stuck inside, it was great to be able to take advantage of this beautiful day. Enjoy!

Have you ever wondered how many calories, fat, sodium, protein, fiber….etc are in your foods? It’s a common question that I get daily, so I thought I’d share with you some excellent resources online where you can look this information up if you do not have a nutrition facts label. One important tip is that you will want to be sure to enter the appropriate serving size to give you the specific nutrition facts you are looking for.

The snow is finally gone, and it was a great day to be outside. Walking along the bike trail with Buddy, then later doing some running on my own. The ice is all off of the lake as well, and the water is going down. All in all, I think Spring is finally getting here…

…now we just need to wait for everything to bloom, and get greener. It is nice walking along the trail by the Lake. Great time to think. I hope everybody had an enjoyable Easter as well.
