Scenic Saturday

Woke with lots of energy on Saturday morning, the kind that keeps you dancing throughout the day. Took a brisk walk on the Ravenal Bridge for a bit of a challenge, with my husband and son along, it was fantastic. The ocean views from the top of the bridge are breathtaking. Afterwards we enjoyed lunch, my salad and water hit the spot. I was not even enticed to snatch one of my husband's french fries, which was a former habit. We then went to our local GNC store so that I could purchase Muscle Milk for a protein supplement. I just can not seem to get the amount of protein I need in my diet to support the added exercise. I am choosing to use this as a meal replacement and I will comment further on the effects later. My son Matt will guide me on the best time to take this, as he is very knowledgeable in the area of nutrition. When we got home I did my strength exercises and settled in to watch a movie with a HUGE bowl of plain popcorn. My husband looked at me and said "No Butter?" to which I just looked at him and smiled.
