Time to go Grocery Shopping...

I woke up a little earlier this morning than yesterday, which is good considering I slept in until 12 yesterday ;).

I actually woke up at 7:30 which is early for me on a weekend! I have to wake up at 5:15 or 6:00 am during the weekdays because of school, but it's always rushed. I wake up, have 30 minutes to get ready, then run out the door to make it to the hospital for clinicals or to campus for lecture.

I like the idea of waking up earlier to give myself more time to get stuff done in the morning. I never feel like there is enough time in the day, so this is a great way to give myself the gift of more time!

Anywho, I woke up to wake my dog and kiss my boyfriend goodbye as he left for work, then decided to get up instead of going back to sleep. I went into the kitchen hoping to make myself a breakfast with scrambled eggs, toast, and a pancake, but lo and behold, WE HAVE NO GROCERIES!!

I haven't been grocery shopping in quite some time, which probably contributed to my, um, not so healthy lifestyle. We did have some eggs, but they expired March 12th. Actually, we live with roommates so I'm not really sure where some of our stuff goes sometimes...I know none of us would intentionally eat the other person's food, but sometimes there is so much stuff in the fridge that it all kind of gets mixed up.

Since I didn't have any eggs, that eliminated my plan to have scrambled eggs or a pancake. Therefore, I started perusing the freezer and pantry and found that I still had a huge box of Boca Burgers from Costco!

Unfortunately, we didn't have any buns. But that didn't matter to me! I decided to heat up a Boca Burger with some of the last of our frozen broccoli to make myself a healthy, although not a visually pleasing breakfast. I added just a tiny bit of ranch and BBQ sauce on the side. I'm not a person that goes heavy on the sauces, but I like to have just a dash of sauce in my food to give it flavor. I had this with a cup of coffee and I feel energized to take on my day!

My day is going to be pretty busy...today I plan to tackle:
-laundry

-cleaning the room

-day one of couch25k
-studying/hw for my nursing communication class

-work at 12:30
-dishes
-cooking! (my mom just gave me us a George Foreman grill and I plan to put that baby to use!)

-taking Lucky on a 30 minute walk

-grocery shopping!

-relaxing with my boyfriend when he gets home to some Grey's Anatomy (we've been working our way through the seasons and are currently on season six! Oh, how I love Netflix)

Annnd...I'm off!

First Morning of Spring Break!

Today is my first official day of spring break, and while I will be spending most of it working and catching up on studying and homework...I decided to let myself sleep in...a lot.

This morning I had some Maple & Brown Sugar oatmeal, Sweet Hawaiian toast with I Can't Believe it's Not Butter, two gummy-vite vitamins, two Viactiv Calcium chews, a big glass of water, and coffee with some creamer. Everything totaled to approximately 400 calories.

 

I'm not a fan of oatmeal, so today was my first day actually eating an entire bowl of it! I know it's really healthy and has so many benefits, so I'm trying to incorporate more oatmeal into my meals.

I actually couldn't eat everything with the coffee and water...which is good :) Eating healthy and controlling how much I eat! 

I'm also trying to drink more water! This was a major factor in helping me lose weight the other times, and I know how much our body needs it, so I really need to drink a lot more water than I've been drinking lately.

I have work today...:( but my goal is to complete Day One of Couch25K, and perhaps celebrate my friend's birthday at PB (or Pacific Beach for those not from SoCal)! If I have any spare time I may just start catching up on my school reading...what an exciting life I lead!

Goals for the week:
-Drink more water.
-Cook more meals, make them healthy.
-Work out at least 30 minutes for 6/7 days of the week.
-Save money!
-Take Lucky on a 30 minute walk everyday.
-Take my vitamins daily.

Off to get ready for work! I work at a Mexican restaurant, so one goal for tonight will to be not to eat any of the greasy & unhealthy food at work! Especially the chips/salsa that are within my reach 24/7 while at work!
