What. a. day 😯
Tonnes of packing and a trip to the dentist does not a happy ‘Manda make…
… and there’s still more packing to be done. Bah!
It’s honestly hard to believe that tomorrow is the big day. It seems like not even that long ago that I just found my place and put an offer in. Yowza. Time is flying. In any case, the night is slipping away and I’d like to savor my last one at home, so this post is going to be short and sweet.
Now who’s ready to party?
. – . – . – .
Breakfast…
Eggy bananafied oats topped with a sliced peach, cinnamon, and coconut butter.
. – . – . – .
Morning snack(s)…
Greek yogurt drizzled with honey, smothering a banana.
. – . – . – .
Lunch time…
Greek yogurt – blueberries – peach – Puffins – puffed wheat – almond butter – trail mix.
I know, I know. I was supposed to try eating more substantial meals, but a cereal mess was all I wanted, and this managed to hold me over for almost 4 hours. Winnnnn.
. – . – . – .
Afternoon nibbles…
Cookie dough ball – Cottage cheese with protein powder and cocoa, topped with chocolate chips.
Popcorn coated with coconut oil, and drizzled with honey and sea salt.
. – . – . – .
Dinner…
Pumpkin hummus tortilla pizza.
. – . – . – .
Night time snack…
To be decided… but probably something along these lines:
Oat bran – Greek yogurt – ground flax – cinnamon – maple syrup
. – . – . – .
So I guess you could say that I kind of tossed aside my eating experiment today, but I was too busy packing and couldn’t be bothered to stop and think about what I was going to eat…. which I actually consider a kind of success because there was a time in my life where I’d put everything on hold so that I could plan my meals and eat them in peace. Thankfully, I’m no longer that girl… which is good because this girl really needs to finish packing!
I’m really not too sure how posting is going to work for this next little while. I’ll try my best to keep you guys updated, but if I disappear for a few days it’s probably because I’m having Internet issues or unable to find the time/energy to sit down and blog coherently. Hopefully everything goes smoothly.
Wish me luck!

What are your favorite toppings for popcorn? I love coconut oil and cinnamon, but have you ever tried adding honey? To die for!
What did you have for lunch today? I love you if it was cereal 😀 And I love you even if it wasn’t.
Any must have essentials that I need to make sure I have for my new place? I keep feeling like I’m forgetting something important…
I’ve been loving making my own popcorn recently, I love a sweet and salty mix of seasalt and stevia! Can’t believe its almost time for your move, you must be so excited! I had my usual salad for lunch so pretty boring!
Ahh, time is indeed flying! It seems like a week ago that you announced your move. Good luck with the move!!
My lunch today was zucchini with bolognese sauce (one of my favourite meet+vegetable combinations!). I actually never crave sweet things for lunch.
I didn’t even know people topped popcorn? I’m not a big fan of it, anyway, I only sometimes have it in cinema.
Yay move time! So exciting! Good luck with everything, but remember not to stress yourself out too much. You’re not going too far geographically (I think!?) so not to stress about getting everything packed and ready and moved within a few hours. It’s okay if it takes a while!
Only other things I can think of that aren’t already mentioned are not to forget little things that just automatically exist in households… like bandaids, sticky tape, pens, etc. It sounds so obvious but they’re easily forgotten amongst the ‘real’ things to pack, like possessions,
My lunch was hot oats with yogurt… yum yum yum… does that count as cereal? 🙂
Good luck with the move!! Yesterday’s lunch was SO random but hit the spot- grated cheddar and mustard wrap with leftover grilled veggies tossed in truffle oil and a boiled egg white. To round things off, I had some pineapple with choco chips! Cereal is totally acceptable, and delicious, as lunch!
oh gosh.. that peach… is so heavenly……
YAY for the big move!!
Enjoy your first day in the new apartement! You said goodbye to your former flat with a lot of tasty meals, that´s for sure 🙂
I had a brown rice-brussel sprouts combo for lunch – easy and good.
Last time I had popcorn I was at a primary school. Would you believe that? :))
I cant believe the time for your big move finally is here! Im so excited for you! And I really look forward to get a sneak peak into your new place 🙂
Yummy eats, as always! I really look forward to see what youll make on Saturday too, so I hope youll get the time to post 🙂
I havent had lunch today yet! But Im feeling something yum is coming my way 😉
Good luck with everything sweetheart<3
Feel better and good luck moving! xo
I loovee going to the dentist! I hope your trip was enjoyable as mine usually are..I assume not so much though. At least you had some BOMB eats…like ferrreallzz these are divvvinnne.
The one thing that I always realize is the most important is a shower curtain. Not fun trying to take a shower without one… believe me.
GOOD LUCK with your move girl, so excited for you! You’re going to have a blast decorating and getting all the fun kitchen gadgets and stuff.
Kettle corn with sea salt, coconut oil and melted dark chocolate is a total win. But honey? That sounds like pure bliss!
Oh my gosh, I actually did have cereal at lunch which is so rare for me but it was so good! I’m running low on cereal though so I think a restock will be necessary this weekend. I just rediscovered my love for it and I’ve been going through it like crazy 😛
I honestly haven’t had popcorn in ages, but honey sounds like it would be amazing! I’d probably top mine with agave/maple and almond butter.
Wooh you made a pizza!!
I love maple syrup + cinnamon as a popcorn topping. Or salt + nooch + curry powder!
yay I’m so excited for you! But I must say I’m definitely not jealous about the packing part…packing’s right up there with laundry in my list of things I really hate to do.
Those all look delish!!! Good luck with your move! 🙂 I’m in the process of moving into my townhouse thing for the school year… it’s nuts. i have wayyyy too much stuf.f and i hoard food. it’s a problem. lol.
good luck! 🙂
<3

GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR MOVE :D. I’m so excited for you!!! I had an egg sandwich and a salad for lunch…and a huge bowl of cereal for my nighttime snack! Hmm…definitely make sure you have some tools- you know, the very basics, in case you need to hang pictures or tighten a screw in something, etc.
Eeeee so exciting that your move is quite soon!! I don’t like thinking too much about what I am going to eat when I am feeling a bit frazzled or too much is on my mind. And yet your eats still look rather fabulous… obviously your breakfast steals my heart haha <3
Kettle corn is my favorite so I like anything sweet on my popcorn! Have you ever tried tossing a still-warm bag with m&ms?! Oh my good stuff 🙂
When you eat cereal, do you pour out the exact serving size on the box or do you just go with how much you want to have/ how much you want to fill up your bowl?
I just eyeball it 🙂
I’m not sure if I should tell you this combination, because it’s dangerous and addicting. But have you ever tried melting peanut butter mixed with honey or your popcorn? Oh. My.
I’ve never tried that, but it sounds crazy good! I’m definitely going to give it a shot 😀
All your food always looks so yummy! I love topping popcorn with nooch or leaving it naked LOL!
Popcorn: lots of salt and I’m good!
Lunch: a big salad with romaine, carrots, almonds and cranberries + PBJ!
Whenever I have moved I always forget the basic stuff: trash bags, toilet paper, etc.
I actually kind of love the dentist 🙂
Good luck on your move! I hope everything goes very well for you and you take time and I hope to see you soon back on my reader 😀
Good luck with the move!! This is so exciting! I feel like I’ve been reading about it forever and now it’s finally a reality. I don’t blame you for wanting to eat cereal all day and tossing the challenge aside.. I be so excited/nervous/anxious that I think that’s all I’d want to eat too!
My lunch today was potatoes, red peppers, eggplant, carmelized onions, sugar snap peas, and a crumbled veggie burger in a herb sauce and a soyjoy bar. ‘Twas lovely. I don’t know why people hate on white potatoes… I find them so filling!
Ooh good luck with the move! I like adding cinnamon & nooch & chocolate to my coconut oil sprayed popcorn. As a treat of course! Also TJ’s sugar-chocolate-coffee grinder is quite tasty as well 🙂 Or if I want just savory, some smoked paprika and nooch.
I didn’t really eat a real lunch today, I had classes at weird times. But I had sushi and homemade miso soup for dinner!
Good luck darling!! I can’t wait to see the new place! Is it wierd that all I really care about is the kitchen? 😉 make sure to pack all the dishes well, one of my fav glasses broke when we moved 🙁
“EeeeEEEEeeee!” I can’t wait! I hope you don’t get to stressed and that the internet gets set up quickly! Your eats, as always, are awesome. And you experimented in a different way today I guess. You experimented psychological instead of physically. 🙂 I say it was a win in the experimenting category!
I will be thinking of you all day tomorrow, girl! Wishing you the smoothest possible transition!
Popcorn… I love cinnamon and melted chocolates! Yum!
Yum! Honey on popcorn! I needs to try that!! Happy WIAW 🙂
big day tomorrow! Best of luck, I know it will go smoothly 🙂
Good luck with the move! I know how busy that can be….
Favorite popcorn topping: nutritional yeast, salt, and pepper.
My favorite popcorn topping is honey and cocoa powder. Delish.
And don’t worry about us…I think we’ll manage while you’re getting settled. Somehow. 🙂
Good luck! 🙂
When I was little I loved making caramelized popcorn. It was one of the first things I learned how to make in the kitchen way before microwave ovens were discovered in my country. The smell in the kitchen was absolutely amazing after that and there was always some decadent buttery caramel left for caramel candy. In my book nothing can beat this popcorn topping.
Lunch… Still to come. And yesterday’s lunch was too disappointing to mention.
If you are like me, the first thing you will need when you move is a boatload of cleaning preparation, mops, sponges and the like. I always want to make sure that everything is perfectly clean before I put my stuff there.
I had cereal for lunch dessert- chocolate chip weetabix bitesize( a mommoth mug full!) It was delicious. My actual lunch was a whole grain wrap with tuna sweetcorn , and salad with this store bought giant couscous, wheatberry,butternut squash thing that I’m addicted to.
Just thinking about the dentist makes me want to cry, I HATE it!
Remember your toothbrush( having grubby feeling teeth is the worst) and I hope all your packing and moving goes smoothly- good luck girly:)
Xxx
Dude I can’t believe the big day has arrived!!! I’m stoked for you, can’t wait to hear about all of your new adventures 🙂
And honey, your eats are makin me hungry! That cereal lunch bowl is the definition of drool. I would’ve totally had that for lunch if I wasn’t at class, instead I had a good ol fashioned pb&j with an apple mmm
And essentials…hmmm…remember underwear, your favorite stuffed animals and your toothbrush! 🙂
Good luck packing and moving!!!!!
Okay, so each time I read “popcorn” in this post, I was confused for a sec because I thought that you were talking about my puppy Popcorn! I can’t believe he’s already overcome a food in my mind haha
Not gonna lie, my favorite kind of Popcorn (other than mine, of course) is BURNT. I always overpop it just so that its black and extra crunchy. I know thats not a topping but still.
AND MEMEME! I had cereal for lunch!!!!!!!!!!!!
Aww, good luck with the move darlin! Just make sure you have a box of stuff to put your first night essentials in! Nothing like trying to settle down and sleep after a long hard day of lifting, pulling, and pushing only to realize you can’t find your pajamas…or your toothbrush! Haha!
I’ve actually never making pop corn the old fashion way before! I have a microwave air popper and I used that once and then sprinkled on a bit of nooch, but since it didn’t pop in any oil, it didn’t really stick…ended up being a big noochy mess! Haha!
I had the same thing for lunch that I had yesterday…honey curry chicken salad! Mmm!
Amanda girl, do you KNOW how drop dead gorgeous you are? 😉 SHEESH!
And look at us go 🙂 We both moved into new places 😀 Yipee! So exciting, but I totally know all of the packing stress you are going through right now! If you need moral support I am totally here for you girl 🙂 😉 <3
I did not have cereal for lunch 🙁 But my lunch was new 😀 Posting about it tonight 😀
Good luck with your move, time really does fly by!!! I love putting some parmesan cheese on my popcorn, SOO good 🙂 I always make list when im packing up, it keeps me from forgetting most everything i need.
That totally makes sense you want to savor your last evening at home, I would want the same. One of my favorite quotes “time flies but your the pilot”, makes me always be careful about how I steer my time 🙂
I’ve never been creative with my popcorn toppings, your combo sounds delicious 🙂 Good luck, and have fun with the big move 🙂
I can’t believe the move is so soon!! And I’m glad you found a bowl that held you over for 4 hours. I find it fascinating how sometimes meals hold me over one day but not the next
I had a tuna pita pocket! I haven’t had a pita in so long!!
