Happy Memorial Day

I’ve taken two days off of calorie counting and even really thinking about food. I tried not to worry too much about it. My mind just needed a break I think. But I’m back on track today, hit my calorie target, and feeling good.

Today we decided to clean out our rented storage unit. There’s no reason why we haven’t done it yet (just lazy-ness I suppose) and it is costing us $64/month. That’s money that we should be putting toward paying stuff off! It’s completely cleaned out, which means that the hubby is completely officially moved in to the house (we’ve almost been married for a whole year!) yay, lol! So needless to say I burned a ton of calories today moving stuff around!

This was my favorite thing that we brought in today. Justin’s grandfather made this for him from wood from an old barn I think and I love it! It didn’t fit in our living room, but we wanted to use it so we put it in the kitchen.  On top are  the microwave and a wine rack and inside are all of my cookbooks, our lunchboxes, napkins, placemats, and napkin rings.   There’s lots more room in it, so I’ll have to go through the kitchen and do a little re-organizing.

Onto some food!

Breakfast was a little sandwich.  English muffin, egg white, half a slice of pepperjack and a veggie sausage.  This is quickly becoming my fav breakfast because it is so increadibly filling!

Then I watched a litle TV and waited for the lazy bum husband to get up for the day.  About three hours later he decided to grace the day with his presence.  Then we headed out to the storage building.  Three trips later we had everything out.  We were soooo ready for lunch!

I made a bigass salad with…

  • romaine and spinach
  • baby carrots
  • a baby cucumber
  • cherry tomatoes
  • light Greek vinaigrette

And a babybel cheese (I LOVE THESE!!)

I also had 1/2 cup Fage Greek yogurt with blueberries, 1/2 tablespoon agave nectar and a sprinkle of granola.

Look at this giganto tub of Fage that I picked up at Costco!

Dessert…

Then we unpacked a crapload of Justin’s stuff and moved stuff around in the house.

Then when we were so tired we couldn’t do anything else we had some dinner.  We kept it simple- Amy’s Texan burgers with a slice of cheese on whole wheat buns, baked chips, and a yummy slice of banana bread for dessert.

Whew I’m exhausted!  I think I’m going to bed early tonight.  I have to go to work tomorrow 🙁

Only 3 and 1/2 days left!!!!!
