I was already starting this day off with some stress because my car needed to get fixed and I wasn't sure who would do it as my dad called me at about 8:45am and left a msg saying he wouldn't be able to make it out. I got up a little later with the goal that I would complete my research paper that is over a week late, but I couldn't get my mind off my car and work and school. I was able to contact somebody that agreed to take a look at my car and then I got ahold of one of coworkers to cover my shift and I decided not to go to school, which was a bummer (I say that lightly) because my group was doing an experiment today for Research Methods, so I'm sure I'll get docked points for it. The project is like 5% of my grade. Oh well.
Breakfast:
So, my breakfast for the day is a bowl (3/4c) of Kellog's Fruit Harvest (110cal) w/ 1/2c 2% milk (70cal). Fruit Harvest is actually pretty good. Has like heartier corn flake type things and strawberries and blueberries. I also had a piece of toast (75cal) with a tablespoon of peanut butter (95cal) and a banana (90cal). It was all pretty tasty. Total calories for breakfast: 440.
I attempted to write my research paper, but only got the intro paragraph done before I started to feel drowsy. I swear schoolwork does this to me. So at about 12:30PM ish I fell asleep on the couch and woke up about 1/2hr later and realized the pen I was holding had been digging into the inside of my pinkie finger and left me hurting. I fell back asleep though and woke up at about 1:30ish. I felt so lame! I couldn't get back to my paper though.
So, I decided to take a shower and get dressed and walk down to the bank to deposit my money and maybe get something to eat. I invited Kevin along, which at first he was going to go to class, but decided to come with me and skip class. He was pretty skeptical of why I was deciding to hang out with him, because as he put it, I hate walking, hate the cold and hate the rain and it was all of those things. But it wasn't really raining, it was just sprinkling and was a bit windy outside. And I had to walk because the car was broken. We left at about 3:30pmish.
Lunch:
After depositing money in the bank, we walked over to Steve's Pizza. Their flyer looked like they had some really good food selection for good prices, but when we got inside, it wasn't what we expected. The prices were higher than the ad and they didn't have everything it said they did. It was a ghost town in there too. So, we decided to walk over to I love Teriyaki. We both ordered a chicken teriyaki plate. I had a cup of water with mine. I ate about half the rice and chicken and decided to save that until later. I estimated it to be about 300cal for the rice and chicken. I also ate 2 orange slices (about 16cal) and also some salad, I think it might have had some teriyaki on it. I'll estimate that to be about 25 calories. Total for lunch: 341.
Snack:
After lunch, Kevin got a haircut. Then he convinced me to walk over to CVS. Where we got some Naked Juices and an energy drink for him. I drank about half my strawberry banana one on the way home and then rest later(240cal). When we were walking back it was pretty windy and getting colder. We weren't home very long before the guy that was coming to take a look at my car was coming over.
So he got to working on my car and we couldn't really find where it was leaking tranny fluid. Then this one cat decided to come and hang out with us and take a look at my car.
Kevin came up with a catchy caption: "I think the problem with my car is the mechanic."
It was pretty funny. Finally, we found that my hose going from my radiator up to my transmission had a split in it, which was really good news because that was easy to fix. So, we decided to go up to Autozone and get the part and some fluid. It was a little difficult to get the part back on, but we finally did. We had to drive back up to Autozone though for another quart of tranny fluid. When I hopped in my car (by this time it was dark), I noticed that dang grey cat sitting in the back windshield! silly cat..had to shoosh it out of my car.
Dinner:
Before dinner, Kevin made me do some exercises with a new 8lb weight we just bought. I really didn't want to as I was pretty hungry by this point. I made myself 1.5 cup tortellini w/ 1/2c spaghetti sauce and a tsp of parmesan. After eating that though, I was still really hungry, so I ate about 1/2c of tortellini that Kev hadn't eaten. Total calories for dinner: 580.
Snack/Dessert:
Directly after dinner I was still really hungry so I ate a Special K 90cal chocolate bar. And then I ate a laughing cow cheese (35cal). I would have ate more, but I was a little grumpy and tired. So I went to bed instead.

Good job on the exercising! Even if it's hard, sometimes you need someone to push you!!!
ReplyDeleteDamn cat... I hate cats, lol.
I hate it when you just feel so hungry you want to eat everything in site. Sometimes its so much easier to just go to sleep :)
