WIAW: Are We There Yet?

I’m feeling like I’ve been stretched a little thin lately! School is stressful as heck, I’m trying to find a summer job, planning for the possibility of studying abroad next year, and integrating gym time, etc…it’s getting a little hectic. The house has totally fallen by the wayside and I feel like I definitely need to figure out how to balance my life. I only got a couple hours of sleep last night so I was feeling pretty crappy all day…all I can think about is Is it graduation yet? Is it spring break yet? I want to breath the fresh mountain air!

I have the tendency to just want to skip whatever phase of life I’m in and just get to the next thing fast! I’ve learned that it’s a terrible attitude to have because I miss out on appreciating the wonderful things going on in the present. I spent ALL of college being excited for college to be over…and it’s only now that I realize we were having some truly amazing experiences in college and I wasn’t appreciating any of it. It’s something I’m working on! Food helps me to stay in the present and appreciate the little things. 😉 Let’s get to what I ate today!

 

Jenn, the awesome party hostess, has deemed February as Love Your Veggies month! I love that! You know I start every day with some veggies in a glass. 😀

Breakfast: My UGS  

Second Breakfast: french toast with raspberries

I had some leftover Italian bread from making garlic bread for dinner last night, so I was pumped to put the rest of that loaf to use with some legit french toast. SO much better with real, thick bread like this. I inhaled this plate!

Morning Snack: little bag of triscuits, handful of smoked almonds (unpictured)

Lunch: burrito with ground beef, veggies, rice, black beans, etc.

I know…you’re SHOCKED that we went to Moe’s. Yeah…we’re back to going pretty much every “Student ID Wednesday”. We are the ultimate suckers for special discounts.

Afternoon Snack: sweet nectar of life  Jason’s kettle corn

I was in a foul mood at that point in the afternoon and Jas offered to make me some kettle corn…mood instantly lifted. Marriage was such a good plan.

Dinner: noodle stir-fry

After that kettle corn snack I took a completely unintentional 3-hour nap (slept right through yoga class) and woke up just wanting to cry because it was so late and I was starving but just really didn’t have it in me to cook dinner. Jason to the rescue! Did I mention about how marriage was the best plan ever? Did I? It bears repeating. I don’t know how I ever lived without him. 🙂 This stir-fry he made was just as delicious as it looks. And of course I had my fav beverage on the side.

Dessert: leftover bday chocolate mousse!

Jas actually made that too! HAHA! Never thought I’d have a day where he made more of what I ate than I did. But today that’s exactly what I needed. Days like today are the reason that I need to stop asking Are we there yet? and start stopping to smell the roses. Roses like my awesome husband. <3

Thanks for reading!
