It was a pretty busy morning around here!
After breakfast I digested a bit and then did a quick 20 minutes of yoga and then took Clara for a little walk to give her some outside time.
She did a great job for the full 20 minutes but I definitely think the heat took it out of her!
She was panting like a maniac 5 minutes in!
Needless to say when we got in, she went straight for the water bowl!
And her classic “cool-down” position:
Shortly after Chad was home for lunch.
I was craving a big old salad:
Into the mix went:
- Mixed greens
- Edamame
- Hard boiled egg
- Shredded carrots
- Onion
- AvocadoÂ
Topped with balsamic vinaigrette!Â
With an orange on the side:
We also broke out a bag of Red Pepper and Salsa Fresca tortilla chips that the kind folks over at The Better Chip sent along!
These chips have a great crunch and incredible flavor in addition to being all-natural and gluten-free!
At only 130 calories for the whole bag, these are definitely going to become a lunch staple – dipped in hummus or alongside a sandwich or a salad…I can’t wait for all the different ways to try these guys out!
And for all your non-believers out there, even Chad loved them! 😉
Speaking of Chad, while I was thrilled with this lunch, I think Clara was just content to have him (and his lap) home:
She slept happily against him the whole time.
We watched a little Million Dollar Listing and then Chad was off once again.
I have a date with the gym and my GRE books on tap for the rest of the afternoon!

I think Clara’s trying to steal your man. 😉
Haha – she has good taste! 😉
Looks like a nice afternoon and at-home lunch date. 🙂
It definitely was 🙂
Aw! She looks so cute all cuddled up there! ….The heat is taking some adjusting for this girl too- I was panting like a dog after my walk/jog this morning too!
I know – it definitely is an adjustment! I have to pick my workout times wisely if I’m trying to go outside!
Gosh, your dog is adorable! I’m digging how colorful that salad is.
Aw thanks! She’s actually my sister’s dog (we’re dog sitting for her) but I definitely agree with you! And totally – the best part about salads is how colorful you can make them!
Your doggie is so cute! I love taking my dog out for a run or a walk, when we get home he totally knocks out, really wears him out!
Exactly! That’s pretty much the main reason why I walk Clara!
Mmm…I haven’t seen those chips before, but they sound really yummy!
They’re awesome!
Wow I cant wait to get my hand of those chips! I have been having major salty snack attacks lately 🙂
They’re perfect for that!
