Thursday: Ah. My work from home day – always a good day! I got up and got TONS done – had weird eating habits though. Like didn’t get hungry until later in the day, and just kind of ate weird stuff all day. I did go down and walk 4 miles at lunch – so that was good. I ended up getting super motivated around 8 and got more work done, did laundry and cooked a bunch! Great, productive day. I had 1,517 calories, 39 fat grams and 211 carbs. So not bad in numbers… but I ate crap! Lots of it! Here’s what I ate.
Friday: Work was pretty hectic but I was SO GLAD it was Friday! I worked hard, walked 4 miles at lunch with Stacy and then headed to the gym after work for another 1.5 miles, back, biceps and abs. Great workout! I got home in a fabulous mood with lots of energy. Austin was in a great mood too so we showered, ate pita pizzas and called Scott and Mary. They were going out – yay! So we headed over to their place for card games and a fun, bar night. I think me and Mary sang and danced to every song they played – good times! Awesome alcoholic times tend to lead to high calories though - I had 1,967 calories, 181 carbs and 40 fat grams. Eek – high day! But with my 5.5 miles factored in it’s not too bad, right?! Here’s what I ate.
Saturday: After progress pictures (and on very little sleep) we headed over to Amanda’s at 10 a.m. with Reuben in tow! When we got there she was still printing out some stuff so we played with the helium tank. I almost passed out. Good times. The house hunting commenced – long story short: We saw lots of houses. I liked one. I loved another. The rest weren’t for us. We got home and were just so wired about that house. Like OMG – what should we offer? What should we do? Amanda called after having talked to the seller’s agent and it looked promising that he was motivated. OMG yay! We decided that the one we loved needed to be seen again, along with the old one we liked, so we scheduled a visit with Amanda for Sunday at 4 p.m. So we cleaned up some, showered and then had our buddies Andy & Mon over for game night/drinking/catching up. We had a BLAST! Time flew by and before we knew it I was about to pass out at 3 – eek! Good times with great friends though – can’t beat it. I ended up at 1,853 calories, 201 carbs and 29 fat grams. Not bad! I went over from drinking again – imagine that! Here’s what I ate. Oh here's some pics! Most of my jeans are too big - boo - I cringe when I think of the $ spent on AGs, Rock & Republics, People's Liberation, Hudson's, etc. What are you going to do though? I'm going to try eBay! :)

Sunday: Today was CRAZY! I got up at 9 a.m. for no reason which left me with 6 hours of sleep – DANG! I was just so nervous and excited about the houses that I couldn’t STAND it! So I cooked a few different recipes, made Austin’s coffee and made our breakfast. I had to be at Pottery Barn at 11 a.m. for the class with mom and sister so before I knew it it was time to go! I raced across the street to the mall and found out that the class was at 10 a.m. not 11 a.m. What? The invite said 11 a.m. The girl who ‘took my reservation’ told me 11 a.m. Sigh. Uncool. We decided to stay and shop around and found great deals! I mean – WOW deals – I got three huge frames (each for $8), 3 probably 16” rectangular vases (each for $3 – I’m not kidding), a linen/burlap runner with trim for $8, bags of natural pinecones (each for $3) and all kinds of stuff – AWESOME! Mom and Sis are awesome – I saved so much $ it’s not even funny! After PB Sis had to run to meet her husband for a photography session so me and mom ran to my place, unloaded the car, I cooked lime chicken, made my grocery list and we headed out to Target (bought nothing), Pier 1 (bought one lamp) and Marshall’s (bought 1 picture frame). Then Sis was dropped off with us and we picked up Austin and headed up to Ballard Designs before meeting Amanda, and Austin’s aunt and uncle at House #2. Everyone loved house #2 and we did a great assessment. Then we headed to house #1 and no one liked it nearly as much as house #2 (or at all, really) and so we went back to house #2 to look again, make final notes, and discuss next steps. We left there around 6 and went straight to Kroger… then Trader Joe’s… then cooked pita pizzas while unloading the groceries. After dinner we got together the final house stuff (stipulations, notes on disclosure, etc.) and are now in bed like WHOA – where did our weekend go? I’m so very excited and hope that we hear from our lender ASAP and are able to put an offer down tomorrow…. WOW. I could be out of here next month – amazing. Anywho – off to bed now! Today I ended up at 1,288 calories, 161 carbs and 32 fat grams – think it was on the low side since I was high the other two days. And I just wasn’t hungry – ran on adrenaline all day!! Here’s what I ate.
Can't wait to go read your blogs! I hope you all had great weekends! :)
