Internet service is still down at the house, but I’m finally out of meetings this week and back at my regularly scheduled work programming. (installer has been there THREE times and eff’d it up every. single. time… grr)
Bullet points from the last week:
- moving really is the most unbelievably wretched thing ever BUT I will say it gives you an incredible opportunity to purge and organize. I’ve been a mad woman buying tubs and organizers. The container store owes me dinner.
- Whilst things are still being unpacked, hauled, painted, sanded, and updated at the new house for 5+ hours each evening I figure I’m getting a pretty decent workout. AND considering I’m still juggling work, parenting, school, band, ballet, tap, violin, basketball and taekwondo too, I’m not gonna be too hard on myself.
apprx calories burned 15min/hour
- I’m officially addicted to craigslist furniture shopping. In the last 24 hours I have acquired 3 Ikea tables, a dresser, 2 faucets, and a palette of old barn wood. Super uber cool projects will be commencing.
- I cannot find my new scale… or all my shoes… or tweezers <— my poor eyebrows.
- I woke up mysteriously craving V8.
Randomness
I can not wait for normal to come back.
Not only Is boxing up everything you own the freaking worst shit EVER… It’s also kept me so damn busy and panicked that running/cooking for the last 3 days has been impossible. IT SUCKS! HARD.
BUT… Today, my lovely interwebz friends, is move in day!
*triumphing trumpets trumpeting*
- Cleaning the new place today.
- Moving everything with friends and family tomorrow.
- Unpacking Sunday.
Almost done.
Tumblr High Fives
Least favorite thing to do EVER.
7 hours of packing. Bhleck.
Wonder how many calories that burned? Eh, oh well, gotta be done regardless right? So now it’s an early 9:30pm… on a Saturday night… and I’m taking my ridiculously exhausted ass to bed.
Nighty night Tumblies. xoxoxo
I may not keep a gym membership, but I’ve got my Brooks runners, the pavement, and a sweet ass Netflix account. That, my friends, is pretty much all I need :)
My Friday night?
A lil Jamie King, some homemade low sodium veggie soup, and later one diet tonic water and CAKE vodka. Yes… that does say cake.
Total cals for the day: 1147
Winners.
Breakfast: 3 oz smoked salmon with 10 olive oil and rosemary roasted cherry tomatoes and 5 whole garlic cloves compliments of my loverly bf. 195 calories
The Con:
I’m pretty sure my breath is kickin’
The Pros:
Salmon -
- protein
- Omega 3s
- lots of b12
- (plus it’s yuhhmmeee)
Tomatoes -
- A crap ton of the powerful anti-oxident Lycopene
- the amazing Leptin, which plays an important role in appetite control, metabolism and weight loss.
- Vitamin C
Garlic -
- full of germanium which is an anti-cancer agent
- tons of anti-oxidents and vitys
- Allicin which has stong anti-biotic properties and immune boosters
- AND… get this… early stage research suggests that garlic has special anti-inflammatory properties that may actually help to regulate the number of fat cells that get formed in our body. Boy, that’s a big ass bonus.
and he thought he was just making me breakfast :)
