New Apartment Update!

I can't believe that I've been in my new apartment for two weeks and I haven't posted an update! It took 3 days to move the two apartments into one. We've still got some unpacking to do, but it's pretty comfortable.

The kitchen is almost fabulous. It has plenty of counter space, but the cabinet situation is a little weird. I'm still working on solutions for organization. I've been cooking almost every night, and the guys have been pretty happy. I made homemade lasagna for Valentine's. One meat and mushroom for the guys and a GF veggie one with mushroom, cauliflower, broccoli and carrot. Yum!!!

Spike loves the room he has to run around. He also can't get enough of the giant patio and his new ability to watch people.

Now that I have a washing machine again, I've been going through all of my old clothes, getting them ready for my support group's clothing swap next weekend!

When I told some of my friends that I was going to be living with two guys, they wished me luck and said I was crazy. Personally, I'd choose living with guys over girls any day. I love hanging out and living with guys. (I know what you are thinking, and get your mind out of the gutter! That's not the main reason why lol) They might be messy, but they aren't bitchy, love that I'll play video games with them, and if nagged properly, I can get them to do almost anything. They are bottomless pits when it comes to food, but I love to cook, so it's a win-win :)

Hope you had a great Valentine's!

Exercise can be fun!

The weekend is always the best time for me to get my exercise, simply because I don't have to work. Although I love my Wii workout, that's really more for the middle of the week. I've started planning my weekends to include lots of physical activities, without the dread of actual exercise. Weight Watchers stresses that you don't use the term 'exercise', but rather 'activity'. I would agree. 'Exercise' can strike fear into the hearts of even the healthy, whereas 'activity' implies something fun. So here's what I have planned for the next few weekends as 'activity': Friday, Mar 25: Weeding My Garden Oh my goodness, the weeds have just taken over! I have 3 birdfeeders very close to the garden, so seeds get thrown in it all the time. The seeds have started growing plants, so I will be digging around tonight, pulling all of them out. Saturday, Mar 26: Fort Worth Zoo specifically for the new Museum of Living Art. Last time we ...

Vegetarian life update

I've made it through the first 3 days as a vegetarian, and I haven't missed meat at all. I know that the first few weeks are the hardest, and I'm pleased so far. I've been using quinoa and hemp seeds for proteins, and will be using nuts and beans as well. There are thousands of recipes online, and I've already tried some. I'm having to teach Hubs that it's okay for him to eat meat, and that I have no problem cooking it for him. I just don't add meat to my meal. It's surprisingly easy. We went to the grocery store on Saturday, and I walked out with no animal proteins or dairy in my bags. It was easy to ignore the meat. My PCOS group is doing an event called "Creating Goals with Soul", using Danielle LaPorte's Workbook O' Fire. Some of the girls are so excited to participate - and we could all use a little help sticking to our goals. My current health goals: - Continue my vegetarian lifestyle change - Eliminate my coffee consumpt...
