So Healthy...

...or not.

With my new working lifestyle, I've noticed I haven't been eating healthy AT ALL.  I've never been overly conscious with watching what I eat, but my intake of fruits and vegetables is seriously lacking.

Take today, for example.  The only fruit and/or vegetable I've had is this:


That's an orange in a Blue Moon beer.

I take Women's One a Day vitamins to help the deficit, but I'm pretty sure I shouldn't be doing that.  I would buy more fruits and veggies at the grocery store, but they go bad so quickly and I a lot of times I just frankly forget to eat them.

A lot of days, I'm rushed getting to work or finding time to eat lunch at work.  Because of this, I usually choose options that are quick and easy.

So, does anyone have any suggestions on how to eat healthier without Ryan and I starving to death?

Laura, I'm sorry.

Happy.

Maybe it's because I finally have a day off tomorrow after working 7+ days in a row, but whatever the reason, I can't help but feel happy.

Again, maybe it's the day off that has me feeling this way right now.  After working hard, I think knowing having a FULL 10+ hours to do whatever the heck I want will do it.

It also might have something to do with a car.

Yes, a car :) :)

Ryan has finally agreed that a car is in my future.  We have decided on a very beautiful, fully loaded 2010 Toyota Rav4.  I can't wait to meet it and decide if she looks like a Miss Nelly or not :)

Funny story - we were at our Dave Ramsey Financial Peace University class on Monday.  We mentioned our defeat by starting a car loan, and we had not one, but TWO couples interested in buying my old but sweet high school car.  Talking about debt.

Anyway, I'm very happy to say that I like my job, like the fact I'm off tomorrow and Saturday, and so excited to get a car I'm going to enjoy and will be able to rely on.  I'm also happy to know I'll be headed to MD in just 3 weeks to meet my new niece!

On top of this, my college girlfriends and I are planning a girls trip the 4th of July weekend.  I also have something planned for October for a girls weekend with my mother in law, sister in law, and aunts.

This has felt like an incredibly long winter, and I can't wait for what's in store with this summer!!!! There's nothing but smiles coming from this girl's face :) :) :) :) :)
