SNOW!!!!!!!

Hey Clean Eaters!!

It has been snowing all day here! We had to put little lawn chairs outside for the dogs so they wouldn't get too cold. They are pampered little things and spent the whole day on the lawn chairs watching the flakes come down. I can't believe we have already had our first snow and it isn't even November yet. Did anybody else get snow today? Now everyone is really going to think that we live in igloos up here in the Great White North that is Canada. Trust me... this is early!

Now, I know Monday has come and gone, but I have my eating and training here to share with you.

I spent most of the day holed up in my office writing away. Articles, books, emails, etc. The list never ends, but when you love your work it doesn't matter.

The pic above is of me and my hubby, Robert, at Angel's Diner in Orangeville. We are regulars there... they know exactly how I like my omelet, chicken, veggies, etc.
