Green Monster Challenge Day 3,4,5 & Costco Goodies
I got a little lost on my way to blogging the past few days, but I’m back!
I ventured into Costco today…a foodie paradise, and walked out with a bag of spinach that refuses to be crammed into the veggie drawer…all for less than $4.
Just think of all the Green Monsters you can make from that sucker! Below is the Green Monster from Day 3.
…and speaking of Green Monsters, today is day 6 of the Green Monster Challenge. I’ve even got my mom hooked on these green drinks. I haven’t had my Green Monster today, so I’ll have to blog about that tomorrow.
Thursday was a terrible day. Everything that could go wrong, did, and by 1pm I was in tears. I had taken Wednesday off of work for my Home Inspection and walked into one fire drill after another on Thursday. At the same time I had my realtor telling me to pay escrow fees and my lender needed disclosure forms signed and mailed. Clients were screaming left and right about deadlines that were not in place when I left Tuesday night, and everyone considered their problem my top priority. I just couldn’t take it anymore and was physically and mentally breaking down, so I called my mom. That always helps
With that said, everything seems to turn around on Friday. Actually my mom said she was working on sending all her good energy to me so I had a flood of good vibes coming my way yesterday. Contrary to Thursday, everything was going right on Friday. Calls with my director and legal team went quickly, I received confirmation that my escrow/loan docs were received,and all those deadlines were dealt with. It was a very busy Friday, but overall a great day.
I’m even figuring out the right measurements foe the green monsters. Usually I make too much, but yesterday was just right.
…a little too much (day 4)…
…just right on Day 5…I’ve even started using Chocolate Superfood in the smoothie. I can’t believe how much extra energy I have just 6 days into this challenge.
The goodness spilled into Saturday when I was running errands. In addition to the monstrous bag of spinach I scored at Costco, I also found my favorite English muffins for $4….
…and my favorite *not entirely healthy* dinner.
I couldn’t wait until dinner so I made it for lunch, so good. Those Milton’s people have got it going on! It’s all about the cream sauce with this meal.
Ok, that’s if for foodie pics. I’m off to pack up my entire house now. I bought a packing kit from Costco too, for $50 it has everything in it to pack up a 1 bedroom apartment. The problem is, how do I get this heavy, awkward packing kit from my car to the apartment. Hmmmm…
