Daily Food Diary – Day 46 of 365

by annemariedemyen, posted in 2025

It is Sunday morning and I am celebrating 46 days in, eating more mindfully by tracking and posting my Daily Food Diary.

Dan, Molly, and I are also celebrating Molly’s third birthday!  We aren’t doing much but Molly is going for a ride out to the cemetery for a visit with Dan’s dad,  Nick who would likewise be celebrating his birthday today.

Molly – 3 Years Old Today!

I can’t believe how fast these past two years have gone since Dan has been home full time.  The first year of Molly’s life, Dan was working thirteen hour shifts, twenty four seven.  That year lasted forever!   I felt a profound sense of relief and gratitude for every day that we survived and counted the days until Molly  would be a year old and capable of reining in her attitude and exuberance.  (Spoiler alert – I’m still waiting, but things have improved now that Dan is retired.  Dogs choose their own pack leader and Molly chose Dan to set some boundaries.)

First Day in Molly’s forever home.
Exploring the pond
Eating the cedars 🤦
Also, eating numerous harnesses! 🙄
Cooling off.  Also…. Wet fur is great for collecting sand, dirt, leaves, branches – pretty much anything she could drag into the house.
Molly going through her lapdog phase.
Having her first bath – thankful for Pet Smart bathing centres!
She loved company – especially if it was the grandkids
And she liked working out with me…

Over the past two years, Molly has dialed it back a bit. 

With the grandkids…(Primrose & Molly)
Lounging with Dan…
Taking nature hikes…
Running at the dogpark (until four feet of packed snow turned the fence into a suggestion) 🤦
And just being our big, beautiful, goofy, girl MOLLY!

  12. Happy Birthday, Molly! You are gorgeous! After telling you a week or two ago that I would maybe start my food diary the next day…. I fell off the wagon before I even climbed on. Maybe tomorrow?

  13. Thank you, Janet! Molly appreciates compliments. 🤗 Any day is a good day to start. You don’t need a big official journal or anything. I just keep a pen and a little scratch pad on our coffee table and scratch things down as I go about my day. 🙂
