A good day to dye

My allergies have been completely awful this spring. I've been finding it very difficult to wake up in the mornings and have even made a habit out of heading back to bed for an hour or so after my husband has left for work. Today was the first day in a while that I actually felt good and didn't want to sleep all day, so I tried to make the best of it by eating well and being active.

Eating well was a little bit difficult since I desperately need to make a trip to the grocery store. My fridge and cabinets are woefully empty so I had to get a little creative with my meals. For breakfast I ended up just having a Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip No Cow bar (heated in the microwave for 15 seconds), and a big ol' mug of coffee.

After breakfast I installed the FitBreak app on my phone. It's made by Weight Watchers and is full of one minute mini workouts that you can do pretty much anywhere. You start out by logging into your Weight Watchers account and then setting a daily FitBreak goal. I set my goal to 20 (you can adjust your goal at any point) and immediately found five mini workouts to try. The goal with this app is to get you up and moving throughout the day, so I spaced my FitBreaks out into four separate five minute workouts. It doesn't seem like a one minute workout would be challenging at all, but some of the videos were actually pretty tough to get through. Maybe it's just because I'm so out of shape...

For lunch I made a Greek chicken wrap. I seasoned the chicken with salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and oregano, and cooked it in the skillet until gold brown. I then added some sliced bell pepper and cooked until crisp-tender. I only had half a piece of flatout bread left in the fridge so I put the chicken and peppers inside along with some jalapenos, spinach, and tzatziki sauce. It was surprisingly good for something that I threw together from the remnants of my fridge.

After lunch I decided that I should probably get at least a little bit of work done so I dyed some fabric that I will later turn into head wraps, and then took a break to cuddle with Neko. Cuddle breaks are important ya'll.

I had some zucchini left in the fridge that needed to be eaten so I ended up making SkinnyTaste's Chicken Zoodle "Lo Mein" for two for dinner. At this point my veggie options were severely limited so I ended up throwing in some cabbage, bell pepper, and green onion. Super tasty, super filling.

It's now after 7:00pm and I still have 15 daily smart points left and no hope of using them all before heading to bed. I'm trying to get better about using all of my daily points but everything that I've eaten today has been both low in points, and really filling. I suppose I'll have to make a trip to the grocery store tomorrow so that we don't starve. I'll try to actually come up with a meal plan for the week so that we don't run out of food again. No promises.
