Dealing with Valentines

Oh Valentine’s Day, I just don’t like you. And no, it’s not because I’m single this year. I’ve never been a fan of Valentine’s, probably because I’m not really a lovey person.

Too much affection makes me uncomfortable. So for me, this is a bit excessive. I only celebrated it before so as not to offend the ex boyfriend with my complete lack of interest. It always felt like nothing more than a waste of money.

Now as a single person, I have a different kind of hatred for the day. Not because I’m single and jealous of all the couples, but because today I get to have everyone I talk to act like my world must be empty because I dont have a man. Seriously, does this happen to other people or is it just me? Because I feel like the list of people offering to set me up is never ending.

So in order to deal with all that ridiculousness, I got up early and busted out No More Trouble Zones this morning. It was a mess, and the fact that it was 5am didn’t help. I’m not too convinced I’ll be able to make it through the rest of the day without falling asleep.

 Now, at least I’ll be too tired to care what kind of crazy things people say to “comfort and reassure” me.

Let’s just hope today goes by fast – and that I can get through it without punching anyone. No promises though.

Weekend Eating

My eating habits on the weekend pretty much suck, but this weekend I may have really outdone myself. The combination of homework, running a million errands, and trying to fit in the long workouts that I can’t do during the week, pretty much killed any interest I had in making a proper meal.

On Saturday I went for a 10k run with my friend Kelly, and had she not provided me with a post run snack, I probably would have just gone home and had a bowl of cereal.

Red velvet cupcakes are far more appropriate.

Because our run was later in the afternoon, I didn’t really have a proper lunch. I had half a green smoothie before we headed out, and half in the car on the way back home. After I showered, I went to my parents house to do a little homework before we headed off to see The Vow. I planned to make dinner while I was there, but that got too difficult so instead I melted some cheese on Triscuits with pickles.

At the movie I had some strawberry pineapple frozen yogurt, which kind of makes up for my lack of any real food because of the fruit.

The movie was fine btw. It wasn’t exactly disappointing, and I can’t say anything negative about it. I liked it just fine. But the thing with these movies, is that none of them will ever compare to The Notebook, and I guess I always go in expecting them to. This one did make me a little teary, but only a little, and I felt like it needed more. It ended too soon for me, and I just wasn’t ready for it to be over quite yet.

Lunch yesterday looked like this:

homework

See it?

crackers

This is what happens when I study at my parents house. You would think that since it is where I grew up, I would know how to find something decent to eat, but they don’t have a single thing that I’m interested in. So every time I go there to do my homework, I eat crackers. Every. Time.

Obviously, crackers aren’t enough food so I wound up making the only thing I could think of – grilled cheese. I had such high hopes for this sandwich too. I filled it with onions, tomatoes, hummus, and this amazing spicy mustard they have. It was going to be so amazing.

Then I forgot about it until I smelled burning.

I was beyond disappointed. It wasn’t entirely inedible, but it sure wasn’t what I had hoped for.

I kind of feel hung over today from eating nothing but crap for the last two days, so I’m almost glad to get back to the week and my regular eating habits.

I need to get it together and figure out a way to eat properly on the weekend. This whole looking forward to Monday thing, I don’t like it.

Friday Facts

I’ve written half of 4 different posts this week. I’m full of all these half ideas and I can’t seem to finish them. It’s starting to really irritate me.

I’m going to see The Vow this weekend. Even if the movie sucks (which I refuse to believe is even possible) Channing Tatum has a nude scene. Pretty sure that will make up for anything that may be lacking.

Thursdays are my favorite day of the week. Probably because they’re my only school/homework free night. I probably should spend them doing at least a little homework, but I don’t want to. Plus, if I did I would miss out on things like walking the dog during the sunset.

With all my extra time last night, I decided to do No More Trouble Zones. Its been awhile, and I forgot how hard it was. I had to switch to my 3lb weights halfway through, and I won’t lie, even that was pushing it.

Apparently the workout was hard for Lexie too. She sat on the couch and cried until I let her participate.

Planks aren’t her strong suit.

School has made me even more ADD than I was before. I can’t even sit through an entire tv show without feeling like I need to get up and do something. I’ve become obsessed with mutitasking and its kind of exhausting.

I’ve been out of wine since Saturday, and I didn’t notice until last night. It must have been a better week than I realized.
