Tell me you wouldn't do just about anything for this face? I know.
So we went to the dog park this morning and then went to the grocery store to grab some groceries and then came home. I did a quick workout (which I will fill you in on later) which I rarely do. I love going to the gym and taking that time for myself.
Anyways, I thought it would be fun to try out some homemade doggy treats. Grando rarely eats "human" food, but doesn't appear to be very fussy. So I spent about an hour online looking up doggy treat recipes and finally settled on one from Rachel Ray's website called "Bacon Truffles" made with real bacon. I bought all the ingredients and spent about an hour cooking bacon, mixing ingredients and baking the treats.
When I took them out of the oven I was super pumped for Grando to try one. I even took one and blew on it to cool it down faster. I was fairly confidant that I was about to rock his world with some bacon-y goodness. Bad news. He hated them.
Like full on hated them. He took one in his mouth and immediately hid it, hoping I would forget about it. So I gave him another one. No dice. He wouldn't even put the second one in his mouth. Burn. I was honestly pretty mad at him for like 5 minutes. Then I remembered that he has no idea I just spent an hour making them and it's not his fault my treats sucked.
However, it should be noted here that Grando has been known on occasion to eat poo. Yet wouldn't eat my Bacon Truffles. Like he wouldn't even eat one just to make me feel like my efforts weren't totally wasted. However, dogs typically do not have the social graces to protect people's feelings. Sigh. I now have the problem of what to do with 75 Bacon Truffles. Any ideas? I felt like Elaine in the episode of Seinfeld when she needs to get rid of all of those unwanted muffin tops. Also, I may have eaten one to see if they were really that bad. Don't worry they only had bacon, flour, cornmeal, egg, parsley and beef broth. They did suck. Bummer.As you know I was hosting a giveaway for a Ruffles with Love tank top. Well it ended yesterday I am excited to announce that Morgan Wood was the winner! Her name was randomly select through Rafflecopter. She now gets to pick out a tank or t-shirt of her choice from Ruffles with Love Isn't she a lucky girl? I hope to work again in the near future with Ruffles with love, so stay tuned. I also have some awesome giveaways that are coming up (hint, hint, hint Chobani Greek Yogurt ). I did have time for a quick workout today as well. It has been a really gorgeous week this week and I don't feel like I have spent enough time outside. So Grando and I hit up the dog park and crushed a sweet walk. I am training with Kyle tomorrow and we typically focus on strength training, so I focused on cardio training today using my own body weight. 101 & Done (30 minute Body Weight Blast)Dynamic Warm Up|10-15 Reps of each exerciseLeg Swings/Push Ups/Back Extensions/Shoulder Circles Workout 10 Burpees10 Push Ups (optional x 3 sets)10 Cobra Back Extensions (optional x 3 sets)10 Burpees20 Tuck Jumps20 Body Squats10 Calf Raises (optional x 3 sets)4 Minutes Tabata PlankADay Planks5 Sun Salutation Flows (downward dog, plank, lower, upward dog repeat w/breathing)2 Minute Stretching (minimum) 101 Exercises= 101 & Done!
