Good morning?

Nothing like coming into work with a passive aggressive co-worker. Oh well. The day is still young.

Last night, I was exhausted. I did not get very much done. We got a new dryer though! We walked around Home Depot and found a stellar deal which had a 10% discount off of it – with free delivery, install, and haul away. How could we go wrong? It’s super nice and exciting – we should have it in several days (they had to order it) – but it’s one more thing crossed off the list and this bad boy should last us a while!

So I have been horrible at tracking my dinner (meaning, not taking pictures or really doing anything at all). Last night’s dinner consisted of Digornio pizza spread with some homemade pesto! I dipped my pizza in Saracha, of course! I had three pieces and I was set for the rest of the night. I did not exercise last night, after looking at dryers and then getting settled back in at home (i.e., straigtening up). We heated up a pizza and then I crashed on the couch. I NEED to start exercise again. I am going to do a DVD tonight, most likely 30 Day Shred or Power Yoga. Once the weekend hits (it’s my bday!), I am going to start hitting the gym again too. My bathing suits are hanging out at UPS. Need to get those too. Today has started off busy but I really need to work out, I am starting to feel “doughy” and “jiggly”. Not a good feeling. I think I may have gotten close to my water goal but didn’t quite make it. Trying again today. Drinking two Nalgenes today! And….go!

Breakfast today cosisted of a palmful of nuts and my standard coconut coffee. But then I got hungry (obviously) like an hour later. So I had my applesauce – which filled me up! I just finished my coffee so I am on my way to rinse my mug and filled it up with some hot Organic Green Tea. I used to drink a lot of tea, and I have been slacking lately. It was so good for me and I would drink that instead of snacking mindlessly. Plus the antioxidants in the tea are great for me. I need to drink more water though – that just needs to be done.

Just getting out of college and starting my first “real” job. I love finding tips for being frugal and saving every little bit I can!
Money Saving Tip: check money saving blogs and request for all the free samples you want! You’d never guess it, but it saves a ton. You get coupons usually with the free samples, and the samples last for about a week or more depending on the size. Also, they are great travel size items that you don’t have to pay for! Great for flying or that road trip you need to take.

Afternoon munchies.

I am really horrible about taking pictures of my lunch. Igot ravenous and just ate it all! It was leftover Broccoli Cheddar soup from last night and half of a roll (easy and not too cool to look at). So the best I can do now is my afternoon snack. I am starting off the afternoon with a mug of organic green tea, water, and a homemade “trail mix” of sorts. In the mix, tropic mix of dried fruit and nuts, a palmful of peanuts, pita chips, and sourdough pretzel bits. It’s pretty good and I am sure it will last me the whole afternoon. I am vegetarian, so I know finding some easy, protein snacks it difficult sometimes. I tend to load up on the carbs. I had been incorporating a lot more veggies, but all the veggies and fresh fruit are gone – and since I am leaving Friday and returned Monday – no sense in getting more right now.

Fingers crossed when I get home tonight, my dryer will respond to some things my dad and blogs have said. If not…dryer hunting online for some good deals.

Burrito’s tonight! And the 30 minute circuit workout I said was going to do last night…yea, that’s happening tonight. 😛
