Vegan Day 5

Weight: 137.2

Workout: Level two Six-week Sixpack (35 min.). Such a good workout for the short length.

Breakfast: Shake

Second Breakfast (11AM): Whole wheat bagel and hummus (from Sunday), and some banana chips.

Lunch (3PM - been a weird day): 1/2 cup or so of the couscous salad (the end of it). LG asked for and liked a few bites of it this time. Seems like the best way to get him to eat new food is to feed him his normal food while we eat something else. Grass is always greener, haha! Because I'd enjoyed the hummus so much, I had some more on a piece of whole wheat bread. Few more banana chips (those things are addicting!!).

What a day. I came into work to discover that I'd won the Provo mayor's blog drawing for a $500 voucher on Frontier Airlines - NO WAY! Out of 363 comments, mine was the one randomly chosen. I've never won anything that big before - so exciting! Yee-haw! (Thanks, Mayor Curtis!)

Then, we found out the carpet's being installed (in the former "blue room") tomorrow morning. That room has been primed but not painted yet. There's no way in Hades that Will could get it painted with LG following him around today. So I took a last-minute day off work, came home and removed all the staples in the particle board, then took LG shopping for bedding for that room. Due to my indecisiveness and the fact that both our twin beds are extra-long, it took me an hour to decide what to get. Comforter: Normally $80, on sale for $30, with an extra 20% off that AND an extra 20% off with my Bed, Bath and Beyond coupon = $19.19. Sheet set: Normally $20, on sale for $15, with an extra 20% off that = $11.99. Sham: Normally $50 (I find that hard to believe, but that's what the tag says), on sale for $10, plus 50% off of that = $5. Total = $36.18. Add the other coupon I had for $5 off a purchase of $15 or more to all that for a grand total of $31.18 for what would normally supposedly be $150. NOT TOO SHABBY! And it's a good thing, because I then proceeded to spend $400 on blinds/shades for that room and the other upstairs bedrooms. Yikes. Add that to the carpet cost and it's been quite a month financially. But the house is looking more and more like grown-ups actually live here, and that's pretty exciting.

Dinner: Non-quesadilla with refried beans and romaine lettuce. A little bit of ambrosia salad and the typical banana cookies with flaxmilk. Those are getting a bit dry. :)
