Happy Hump Day Everyone!
So I haven’t gotten up to a whole lot over the past day or so. Yesterday’s meals were pretty unexciting. I had the same thing for lunch and dinner – how LAME! I made another quick and easy fav… Tortellini Soup. My old roommate is Italian, and got me hooked on this (among many other fabulously delicious meals) when I lived with her. Really simple, just chicken broth + tortellini pasta + S&P + parmesan cheese. Its pretty darn good. 
Yesterday afternoon I spent some time on job stuff and relaxed a bit by catching up on my Google Reader. Ryan came home from work and we both had quick dinner because he still wasn’t feeling very well, and I was just being lazy. Aren’t leftovers great for that?
Anyways, after watching The Biggest Loser, I sat down and had a chat with Ryan.
It sort of turned into an emotional ‘meltdown’ over how I thought things would be easier out here once I moved – I thought I would get a job sooner, I thought meeting people would be easier – and I feel really guilty for the position that I’ve put us in. Ryan has reassured me countless times not to stress over money – but I just feel a need to contribute. Anyways, I guess I should give myself some credit for moving across the country to a province where we knew virtually no one. It was a big risk, and I don’t regret moving, but I guess it will take some more time to get settled than I thought. :S
Oh well – such is life, and honestly – I could have it a lot worse.
This morning, I woke up eager to get my mind off of last nights conversation, so I ate a quick breakfast of greek yogurt + museli, with toast +PB and then headed out to the gym.
I did a easy paced run, pounding out 3.5 miles in 35 minutes and it was actually pretty relaxing.
Honestly, I feel like the gym (& running in particular) is the ONE thing in my life that I can do to take my mind off stress and anxiety. Somehow, I end up focusing on the pain of running and how much that hurts and it outweighs any other ‘STUFF’.
Anyways, I think we’re gonna make some salmon and green beans for dinner tonight – and I might even try out those pumpkin pie cupcakes later. I’ll let you know how it goes.
What areas of your life cause you the most stress? What to you do to feel more at ease?
