25 Days to Christmas Day 8

December 8, 2014-

Oh my Day 8....we are good friends at this point!......

Did have a Green Smoothie yesterday?....what did you put into it?....How did you feel afterwards?.....

Today's Ideas:

FOOD Combining.....

How do you plan with Plan B?....Alright we always planned and wanted Plan A....but what actually happens is Plan B......Think of Plan B as an adventure!.....Heck I always planned on being a top photographer, and a dog trainer, but ended up as a Six Legged Companion Coach......the best career in the world!.....

Go Shop BUT it your own closet....mix and match those tops and bottoms that you never thought of putting together!

Bag your Bags.....use a frozen tbsp. and put it convex side down under your eyes, right against your skin....or use cold cucumber slices on those eyes, or you can use chamomile tea (wait- pour some tea in ice cube trays and freeze then pop them out, wrap them in a paper towel and hold them under your eyes.

Shampoo and Conditioner- Okay, here a tip for healthier hair and a healthier wallet......don't over use the shampoo and conditioner.....you should be using about a quarter size of shampoo (yes, the size of a quarter) and dime worth of conditioner (that's right the size of a dime).....when you put the conditioner on start with the ends and work your way towards your scalp!......Your hair will be easier to manage!

DRINK WATER!....As they always told us in the Army, DRINK WATER!......Wow, the military gets something right, ok, I admit a few others things they got right but only a few!......Our bodies are made up of 70% water and so are our dogs bodies, and as we go about our day we lose some of that water by perspiration and all. So what do we have to do replace it!.....We should be drinking at least 8- 8oz glasses of water a day.....MINIMUM people......so for the rest of our time together I want ALL of us (and the rest of our lives as well) to be drinking the MINIMUM if not more to HYDRATE ourselves.....the more we drink, the more full we will be as well....bonus right....now we still have to eat to get the rest of our nutrients but we will be less apt to emotionally eat that if we aren't full from WATER! I will go further into water in another blog/ vlog so stay tuned!

Today, I'm giving you one of my favorite exercises to do with your dog.....so I challenge you and your dog to give it a try and make sure you have that water bottle along for both of you......here it is....

 

It's a simple exercise but can be great for your legs as well as your core- REMEMBER to keep that core strong and only move the leg that you are working with- NOTHING else should be moving!....Also when your working with your dog, make sure they are willing to do the exercise, if they want to stop allow them and come back later. Oh, don't forget to praise your dog for a job well done!

 

Ok, until tomorrow, have a healthy, happy, tail waggin' day!
