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…
No, I didn’t have cereal for lunch today… Interesting choice though.
Great blog.
Where oh where oh where is Amanda? Hope you’re doing well!
It looks like you love Greek yogurt almost as much as I do.
I think that if you’re going to take a break, you should at least leave a short post letting your readers know so they don’t worry about you 🙁
But I hope you’re doing good and enjoying your new house!!
do you enjoy randomly disappearing?
Where are yoooou? 🙁
I miss youuuuu! come back? 🙂
Hope you’re doing well my friend! I miss you and your gorgeous face! 😀
Pumpkin hummus tortilla pizza??? Wow! Must try :). Hope the dentist went well!
come backkkkkkkkkk !!!!!!! we miss you. hope all is well.
I miss this blog so much! I hope your move went amazingly and you haven’t been blogging because you’re much too busy having a fabulous time living on your own!
I don’t believe I’ve ever commented before, but I’ve been reading your blog for a while, and I absolutely love it. You’ve definitely been missed, but I hope you’re doing well! 🙂
I seriously miss your blog 🙁
HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!
I miss you, girl!! How’s the new place? Here’s hoping we get to hear about it soon 🙂
aweee, altho it’s not a happy one, I LOVE THAT FACE OF YOURS hehe <3
of course i will be wishing you all the best of luck XOXO
btw i love that you pointed out your switch between being a girl that planned her life around food and now being a girl that lets food fuel her, as she lives her life. You hit a nail on the head just by saying that because i feel like that's exactly how i spent so many years until i started coming out of it, uno? blech, bad memories lol
xoxo <3
Thinking about you Amanda. Hope everything is going well! xoxo
ahh I feel ya on this, Amanda!! I’m moving too and it’s quite hectic!! But I will not lose my peace~~I think moving is such an awesome thing, but the packing isn’t haha. Oh wait, tihs was a while back. WEll, I hope everything went well girl! Take care 🙂
I miss your posts! Are you through blogging for a while?
Hope things are going well, miss hearing your news!
Guess I miss your blog, but at the same time, I’m a little relieved I haven’t been triggered to eat measly little meals such as your own — I’m finally living life outside of oatmeal, pumpkin, and low-carb tortillas.
?!?!?!?!?
I have a back-and-forth when it comes to this blog… I love Amanda’s insights and the way she writes and that she’s been keeping up a seemingly healthy, ED-free lifestyle… but I started noticing how she ALWAYS eats the same foods… and her admitting recently to feeling “snacky” all the time and like she’s not satiated… well, I feel that way when I’m not eating enough and exercising too much. Just gets me feeling that she’s like so many other people out there who THINK they’re recovered from an ED, but since they talk about it all the time and are so focused on types of foods and exercise regimens, they’re just fooling themselves… and doing through recovery myself, I found it a bit triggering from to time to follow this blog daily… *shrugs* Sorry if that’s offensive.
miss you amanda! <3 xox
Girl, I’ve been there, I understand triggers, and if Amanda’s blog is triggering for you, then just don’t read it. Just delete the link from your bookmarks and move on. I had to do the same thing with several blogs I used to follow, and trust me, you’ll be the better for it.
Miss youuuuu!!!
Joining the missing party… can’t wait to hear about how it’s all going!
Miss you girl! Hope you’re enjoying your new place!
Your eats look SPECTACULAR!!! You’ve been part of my inspiration to start a blog and I’m so excited to actually start! Thank you, thank you, thank you! 🙂 Please feel free to drop by! X
🙂

xoxo Mel
AHHHHHHH I HAVE INTERNET AND YOU’RE MOVING!!!! eeee! make sure your guys set up internet for you right away! hehe i just got you back I dont want to have to go any longer with out my manderz! mwah!!!
I am such a Maryland girl. I LOVE popcorn and Old Bay Seasoning!!! Normally put on crabs but awesome on just about anything. As far as lunch today… it was a grilled chicken and cheese wrap on whole wheat tortilla with some chicken noodle soup (it was yucky & rainy and that soup hit the spot) along with some hummus (the spicy kind) on a rice cake. I love doing breakfast items for any meal. No shame in that game!! 😀 Good luck w. the move. We moved in August (still attempting to settle in!) The day off all we wanted was a good shower and some food. Don’t forget to have towels and soap somewhere w/ easy access and PB and fruit or a little cheese never hurt anyone for a quick moving day snack. Good luck
Hi Amanda! I’ve been following your blog for a while now and have to say that I love it! I just wanted to stop in and wish you luck with moving and getting settled in and I hope everything is going well!
that cookie dough ball looks great – such an easy protein packed treat 🙂 i’m going to have to steal this idea!!!
I had some salty popcorn the other day for the first time in ageeees! I might need to make some tonight as I enjoyed it that much! I love it when you find a food that you haven’t eaten in a long time and remember how yummy it is!
