Stressful but successful

Whew! Today was busy, stressful and successful. Not exactly a relaxing day off but I definitely got a lot accomplished. As soon as I finished posting I sped off to my appointment to look at apartment #1. I thought I was really sold on it because it was a really nice high-rise and my apartment had an amazing view, but then I realized it didn’t have a washer/dryer hookup or an on-site laundry facility. So… I said I would think about it. Then I looked at about 2,000 other apartments.

I liked a lot of them, and ended up finding one, but it’s a lot more than I was planning to spend. However, it has tons of space and a bigger kitchen and it’s in an awesome area. I think I might even apply for a part time job at the health food store right nearby. How sweet would it be to get discounts on healthy food?!

On an interlude between apartments I had a smoothie, I had too much going on to sit down and eat anything. But… WordPress won’t let me upload it :/

I had a service appointment on my car so while I was waiting on that I had a complimentary cup of coffee, half of a pumpkin muffin top while reviewing all my options and making pro/con lists.

Then I went back and put in an application to the place I decided on. I’m a decision maker, and I will do anything to convince myself that I’m making the right decision. I wanted the search to be over today… so I made a decision. And that’s that. I hope. I’m so relieved that I at know where I’m going to be living now, it feels like a huge weight has been lifted.

My lack of proper nutrition throughout the day left me weak and starving by the time I got home. I needed something quick and filling so I attempted to make an omelet, but it didn’t really turn into an omelet as much as a pile of eggs, feta and spinach.

It may not be pretty, but it tasted great. It may have been because I was so hungry but I could have eaten about 3 of them. I also had a slice of whole wheat toast with apricot preserves.

This helped a lot, but I definitely see some froyo in my future. My plan for the night is to make about 658 lists about moving and what not. I take moving very seriously, I want it to be planned, organized and executed perfectly! Type A much?

Oh, and Glee is back tonight! Woo hoo!!

Veteran’s Day

Good morning all! I have the day off for Veteran’s Day! And in honor of Veteran’s Day I want to say thanks to all the service women and men out there. I know it’s cliche, but regardless of your political beliefs it’s important that we give those who are out there putting their lives in danger the recognition the deserve. One of my good friends is actually about to deploy for her third tour next month. I was in her wedding in July and she and her husband get to deploy together. I wish them both the best of luck!

Yesterday evening was kind of weird, because I didn’t eat my usual afternoon snack at work. I decided to bake up some tofu for dinner and then do a later workout. While I was preparing dinner I had a free sample of Nature’s Valley Granola Nut Clusters.

Clusters is almost as fun of a word as nugget ;)

For my actual dinner, I baked the tofu in my usual soy sauce and vinegar marinade and put it atop a spinach salad.

After eating I headed to the gym and did an hour on the elliptical while watching The Biggest Loser and then came home and did arms and abs, including planks because Jillian made me feel guilty.

I wasn’t really hungry for a snack until right before bed, and I didn’t want to eat anything heavy so I just had a glass of milk.

That was organic 2% cow’s milk, I can’t really drink any other kind of milk.

Even though I’m work today, I still managed to jam pack the day full of activities. I started the morning with a cup of coffee.

For breakfast I was planning to have something delicious, but I’m running behind for an apartment viewing so I just had cereal.

I like a lot of milk on my cereal, as you can see.

Okay well I’m off for a day full or errand running and such. I figure I should take advantage of being off work while most businesses are still open. Have a good Wednesday :)
