Dog walker wanted

We're currently looking for a dog walker to walk Noma while I'm doing my personal training program. I met with a woman this morning and there were a few things that rubbed me the wrong way.
1.) She came with a sketchy looking male friend who she said walks dogs with her. Uhm.. okay, thanks for letting me know prior to meeting me?
2.) She didn't "look" trustworthy. Okay. I judged. Don't hate me. She looked like she came from the other side of the park. You can decide which park I'm talking about.
3.) When I asked for references, she looked at her phone and pulled up text messages and told me to call "these people".
4.) Neither she nor the man seemed to know how to pet Noma. If you're a dog walker, shouldn't you know how to handle a dog?

After I asked for references, she seemed quite eager to leave. So... it looks like we're back to the drawing board! Too bad my mother isn't around. She was a good caretaker and free! heh heh.

Workout: Arms

Post workout smoothie:

New muesli to try: Gluten-free Nutty Cranberry Maple. Made from crunchy corn flakes and rice crispys with mixed nuts and fruit. It had a delicious maple taste and there were plumb dried cranberries. It made for a perfect topping.
Lunch: 
 Sweet potater seasoned w. Evoo, salt, pepper, and cinnamon
Mini chicken fillets. Excuuuse the dirty pan. I swear no matter how hard I scrubbed it, the caked on black stuff wouldn't come off!!
Side of mushrooms and spinach. Gotta eat dem veggies!
Huuuuge salad with chopped up asparagus, chicken breast, ranch dressing.

Song of the day: "Gold Digger"- Ludacris feat. Bobby V n. Lil' Fate

Indian food overload

Oh amazing Indian food. Where have you been all my life?! 
lovely mixture of vegetables.
That's right. I had to come to London to find you.
This was probably my least favorite. The flavor was there but it was too dry. I managed to eat half and give the rest to T.
Chicken tikka masala. The flavor was spot on with lots of tender chicken. I spotted a hint of ginger as well. Yum!!
Lamb with onions and green pepper. Really onion heavy but I can't get enough of 'em so it's aight by me!
Spinach and potatoes
"Special" fried rice. I'm not sure what was so special about this rice but it went well with the lamb and chicken.
A sweet, yogurt based sauce that I dipped my naan into.
Enormous plate of food for me, myself, and I :o)
Glutenous spread.

Another visit from an old friend.
 
Sticky toffee pudding!! This was made by T's work cafe. The cake was a bit dry but add some haagen-daz ice cream and we're in business.
I'm going to be paying for this tomorrow but for now I'll enjoy every. single. bite.

Breakfast fuel before my run.
Parfait for one
Layers of blueberries, vanilla yogurt, almonds, muesli, and raisins.
With a big mug of coffe, toast, and an egg.
5.79 miles on a very cold fall day. Time to invest in some winter running clothes.

Off to my second workout of the day: Arms

Peace out yo.
