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…
all of that looks soOOO good!! 🙂
Hi! i’ve been reading your blog for a looong time and enjoying it! Your pictures are soo beautiful! Popcorn tastes best with caramel or honey! I think. I don’t mind cocoa either 😀
Make sure the new place has nut butter 🙂
Ugh we’re packing too – it’s the WORST!! I literally loathe packing more than anything else in this world!
1. i do not eat popcorn or other processed carbohydrate-rich foods. that rule helps me to avoid my former binge trigger foods and therefore bulimia. 🙂
2. my lunch was two gin martinis, a piece of my friend’s sushi, edamame, and three bags of nuts from starbucks! i blogged about it here! . . . http://wp.me/p1BQPc-x9
3. you must bring a few very good bottles of pinot noir. that is my official suggestion! 🙂 good luck on your move, and please keep your readers posted! xx
Hi Love! I hope the move went well and that you’re settling into your new place…and LOVING it at that! I know how stressful and exhausting the moving process is, but it’s so worth it in the end. You now have you OWN place! Eeee!
If I’m in the mood for something savory, I love drizzling my popcorn with truffle oil and sprinkling it with parmesan cheese. However, if I’m pining for something sweet, I usually go for peanut flour (moistened with water), chocolate chips and agave. The combination is delicious and satisfying. I’d love to try your coconut oil/honey/sea salt combo. Yum.
My lunch today was turkey-avocado roll-ups (latest obsession), green salad topped with tahini dressing and pumpkin cinnamon protein “cake”.
Love ya, Amanda! Cheers to you and your new home! xoxo <3
good luck with everything, Amanda! I am very excited for you!
I love putting peanut flour paste, stevia, cinnamon, and nooch on popcorn and then putting it in the freezer for 20 minutes. Heavenly!!
Your cinnamon raisin bran muffin looks yummy! Would you share the recipe 🙂 ???
I’ve never tried adding honey to popcorn, but I think i need to try it! Sounds soo good! 😛
I can’t believe you’re already moving! Time sure does fly! – Can’t wait to see your new place. Good luck with the move girl!! 🙂
all your eats look soo good!! xo
Hope the move is progressing well! At least you don’t have to go cross country (with an entire family!).
Your breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks all look so so good! 🙂
Hope everything goes well with the move and at the dentist! 🙂
GOOD LUCK WITH THE MOVE! that is sooo exciting …..oh and Pumpkin hummus tortilla pizza. is being made over my house like now–> looks AMAZINGG
I love packing for trips but I despise packing for moves. Ugh. Good luck with it sista’
I love popcorn mixed with chocolate chips and pecans and flaked coconut for a really good trail mix!! 🙂 Congrats about your move girlie!! And sorry you had to go to the dentist, I hate going to the dentist. I had 2 corn tortilla around cheese, black beans and salsa and it was AMAZING. 🙂
yumyumyumyum! i love all your eats!
and you are gonna hav fun! moving can be really awesome and your gonna love decorating it!
Hope your move went well girl!! Take a day or two off and relax (If you want to)-I’m sure you’re excited though 😉 Yummy Wednesday eats-greek yogurt may be one of my favorite foods overall!
Nutritional Yeast on Popcorn! Yum!
I had cereal for lunch today! 😀 Soy yogurt, peach, Kashi, some granola and Puffins. I had pretty much the same combo yesterday and it holds me over for a very long time too. I love it! Oh I haven’t had popcorn in such a long time. I don’t even remember when was the last time. I was never a huge fan of it though. I hope the move is going well! I’m so excited for you :] Time flies so fast.
The truth is that I am not a fan of popcorn. I hope that I’m not the only one in the world who doesn’t like it? It’s the smell I think that just doesn’t work for me.
Good luck with your move! I hope it all goes smoothly for you!
Yay, I’m so excited for you and your big move! Hope you get to enjoy your last night at home to the fullest 🙂
P.S. What a horrible time for me to be out of honey!
Moving is exciting but sooo much trouble. I feel you! One time, I had to pack all my things and move out of my apartment into an extended stay hotel (my first summer semester at school)..then move those things to a storage unit while I spent a few weeks at home..then came back to college to move all that stuff into my current place. All by myself and in my little car, so it took about 10 trips from where I was moving from to the new place each time. Whew!
I eat cereal messes at both lunch and snacks all the time. Always WITH lunch,,but never FOR lunch…I just use it as a “side” dish and that way you still get a big filling meal. Addicted to cereal lately. Enjoy LIfe Perky’s crunchy flax is actually kinda enjoyable..like the crunch.
I never really have popcorn but if I do I will follow your tastebud’s advice and go with coconut oil or honey for toppings 🙂 EEEp so excited for you, I’m sure moving will be just dandy and you’ll be all settled in a few days time. Love your WIAW – the yogurt/banana/honey combo looks immense :p
How do you ALWAYS have pumpkin-hummus tortilla pizza and not run out of pumpkin?! How many cans do you have?! Can I have some please?! 🙂 Ooh and I am SO making your bran muffins! Cinnamon raisin sounds amaaazing!!
Lunch today was a crunchy almond butter and raspberry jam sandwich. It was AWESOME. And essential to have…a TV so you can watch Gossip Girl of course! Priorities! 😉
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR MOVE!! 😀
GOOD LUCK with the move!! so exciting!! And I too am a last-minute packer…..lol. Once you pack and move, then the fun part begins – decorating!! 😀
And all of that banana and honey business up there is sounding really good! I actually haven’t eaten popcorn in YEARS…I don’t know why, it tastes good but I guess its just so light and airy that it never satisfies! maybe if I used it as a topping for something…it could add a good crunch to a salad (or a fruit salad if I put honey on it!)
Can’t wait to hear how everything goes!! 🙂
I wish you the best!
Popcorn toppings: Black pepper and parmesan, yummm!
I just moved into my new place this week too…make sure you have trash cans and shower curtains (I had to run to target and grab some)- also get some sort of a plant to give it a homey feel…for me that was a Basil plant in the kitchen, it adds so much colour, life, and scent 🙂
All those meals look delicious! Popcorn is definitely one of my favorite snacks, cinnamon popcorn is amazing 😀
ughhh I hate packing but I actually LOVE unpacking. It just feels like such a wonderfully fresh start!!!
So if you want help unpacking, I’ll be right over 😉 haha
The time has finally come! Woohoo! Packing and the dentist might not make you happy, but a new apartment will!
I actually don’t have a favorite popcorn topping, because I’m not the biggest popcorn eater, but I would probably say butter or sea salt. Or your exact combination. That sounds delish. I’ve heard that putting nutritional yeast on popcorn is also a winner, so maybe I would try that.
I can’t wait to hear about your new place! Post pictures when you can!
Congrats on the move! My favorite topping for popcorn is probably nutritional yeast, but coconut oil and cinnamon sound amazing, I’m going to have to try that!
I had greek yogurt with honey on top yesterday too! Good luck with the moving…never really fun to do that! I really like your sweater btw.
As if it’s move day already!? It’s seemed to have come by so quickly! Good luck and hope it goes smoothly.
Not had lunch yet but…cereal featured in my breakfast for sure! All hail the Weetabix. 😉
I don’t really eat much popcorn, like not even at the cinema. I like it simple really, butter and something sweet!
Ahh good luck with the move girl! I’m so excited for you! 😀 I hope you plan on posting lots of pics of your new digs.
I love cinnamon + sugar on popcorn, but my all-time favourite is that fake dill pickle flavouring you can buy at Kernels stands haha. It’s so addictive!
Things to remember for your new apartment – a duvet for your bed. I totally forgot one when I moved into my new place a few weeks ago. D’oh!!! 😛
HAPPY MOVING DAY! Hope it all goes well! Love you! xoxo
Eeeeee I’m so so excited for you girly! 🙂 🙂 It’s all gonna be overwhelming at first when you get there with all the boxes and you’ll be like ‘omg where do I start?!’ but trust me, when you’re all settled in and you’re starting to make the place your own, you will be so so happy!! 🙂
Hahaa I DID actually have cereal for lunch!! 😛 Can’t ever go wrong with cereal in my books..breakfast, lunch, snacking throughout the day…yeaah I’m not addicted…
Yaaaaaaay happy moving day for tomorrow!!!!
I HATE popcorn. I just don’t like it at all. I’m odd.
For lunch I had a sandwich and a carrot. I was very hungry after this. Drat.
You MUST have tea towels, coasters, tin opener, scissors, dusters, a vacuum, a mirror and a big cupboard FULL of foooooooooood 🙂
xxx
Don’t worry Katy… I hate popcorn too! 🙂 x
Actually I like my pop-corn savory – a touch of sea salt or nutritional yeast just about seals the deal for me.
Lunch, well I haven’t had lunch today yet – and I think i might just snack my way through it since I had a massive snack just 30 minutes ago 😛 So there might be some cereal on the horrizon 😛
You must be seriously excited- good luck with the move! 🙂
