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!

Food Allergy Test Results

I was in for a surprise when I got my food allergy test results this past Wednesday. For the few days prior, my thoughts were wrought with fear that I may be allergic to garlic or nuts. I even started designing my garlic and nut super-villain tattoos. Thankfully those weren't on my list. The shock came with the 29 other items on my list! Moderate allergies Baker’s and brewer's yeast Pineapple Vanilla White mushroom Sensitivities Broccoli Buttermilk Carrots Casein Celery Cilantro Cinnamon Cod Dates Iceberg lettuce Kiwi Lamb Millet Onion Oregano Parsley Plum Potato Raspberry Rosemary Sage Strawberry Swiss cheese Turkey I was upset to see so many yummy foods on the list, including my go-to meat, turkey, and some of my usual spices. I was glad to see celery and onions, though. I’ve detested them for years and I always get laughed at for hating onions. Now I have a legitimate reason for hating them! I can live with this list. Well, I...

Diet and School updates

Dietary Change update: It's been about a month and a half now since I went vegetarian. It has been so easy for me. I really thought it was going to be hard, but I don't even miss meat that much. I'd be losing weight if I stopped eating peanut butter m&ms. I ran out of those last night and don't plan on asking Hubs to buy me any more. I hope to start seeing some weight disappear then. Thanksgiving has been the first holiday since I made this change, and I figured I might cheat and eat a little turkey. But Dad said that he's making a ham instead, and I hate ham, so it's a win-win situation! I'm making my usual from scratch green bean casserole - yum! School update: I finished my Anatomy and Physiology course with a final grade of 96. Woohoo! I've started my next class, Natural Heath and Nutrition. It focuses on the foods we eat that are beneficial for us and I'm really excited to learn more. This is exactly why I wanted to study nutrition! I ...

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...
