Day 144: Sunday, Jan. 25
BLAH as you know this was my binge day – eek! I finally brought myself to record it in Spark People and it wasn’t as bad as I thought! With the pizza I ended up at 1,684 calories, 210 carbs and 49 fat grams. So not awful! I guess when you mostly eat only pizza all day and sleep a lot of sheer exhaustion you can’t be that bad! Here’s what I ate.
Day 145: Monday, Jan. 26
Yesterday… ahh. The day I decided that I wanted that house and in order to do so it was TIME. Time to call a lender. Time to get a contractor over to the house to see if it’s even fixable (the wall/power box). Time to get this thing GOING! Austin concurred. So we set to work getting in touch with people, seeing what we needed to do on our end, getting a letter from the property saying we’re fabulous renters (hehe when it comes to paying not leaving them alone when we have problems), etc. As far as food, we had our egg/bacon/cheese sandwiches (out of muffins!) for breakfast, I had a lean cuisine for lunch, tons of snacks (eek!) and we had Austin’s fab shrimp scampi for dinner! After dinner we made tomato basil pasta bake for Tuesday’s lunch, breakfast burrito mix, and white bean chili for Wednesday and Friday’s lunch. LOTS of cooking (especially for two people still struggling from the weekend). I did get in 5 miles of cardio and chest and triceps – yay! I ended up at 1,497 calories, 212 carbs and 33 fat grams. Here’s what I ate.
Day 146: Tuesday, Jan. 27
Today was CRAZY! Work was slammed, back-to-back meetings/deliverables/etc. I did have a yummy breakfast burrito, tomato basil pasta bake for lunch a few snacks and dinner was a turkey/roast beef sandwich and chips – YUM! Regardless of the crazy day, I squeezed in 3 miles at lunch, and 2.5 miles after work. I had every intention of doing abs/chest/tris but I was dying to get home (Austin had a meeting with the lender at lunch so he had to work out after work which meant I needed to go home and be with Reuben!) and figured I’d do it at home. Nope, didn’t happen. Boo. I was able to do this though (in conjunction with the fabulous Austin, our awesome realtor and my home-owning friends Stacy & Melissa):
- Do a load of laundry/get gym stuff together/read some of A Body to Die For and watch Secret Life of an American Teenager (hehe it’s SO bad so of course I like it).
- Get together all of my documents for the lender (November/December pay checks, savings statements, checking statements, 401 k statements; W-2 from 2007 and 2008).
- Get referrals for inspectors/lenders.
- Get more information on the house I want! (the comparative market analysis; the MLS sheet; more photos)
- Get a meeting with a contractor at the house to see if it’s a load-bearing wall and if not – how much it will be to take it down… and move the power box. (meeting on Friday).
- Get a pre-approval letter from our lender (yay!)
Whooo. Busy day. And night – I was doing that and working trying to catch up to get everything done this week – it’s just WILD how much stuff there is to do. BLAH. So today’s ‘food day’ was good – I ended up at 1,410 calories, 191 carbs and 35 fat grams. Not bad! Here’s what I ate.
I owe your blogs a read - BAD!! :( I plan to do it tomorrow - now i'm 30 minutes past my bedtime so good night and i'll "see" you tomorrow!
