• This morning I woke up and ate an apple with a glass of water. After that, I took my puppy for a 30 minute walk. When I returned home, I ate two scrambled eggs with a glass of milk. I then got ready to come to school! Of course, I had my morning tea on my way to work.

• For my lunch, I packed a small caesar salad with some baked pork chops.
• For supper, I ate roasted vegetables (baby potatoes, broccoli, carrot, etc) with a chicken breast. 
• Throughout the day, I drank 2L of water.
• In the afternoon, I brought my puppy for a walk around our neighborhood. This walk was approximately 45 minutes long.

Today, I ate foods from each of the four food groups. I participated in one hour and fifteen minutes of physical activity. I feel like I had a healthy day!
Now I want to hear about your day.  Share with me what you have ate, drank, and what activities you did!
