This morning we woke up for the first time in our new place. It feels a bit like we're in a hotel. Very different than our old place.
Last night after work I had to stop by our old place to pick up a few things from the fridge and by the time I got home I was quite tired and craving a smoothie! Woody had a late lunch/early dinner because he had spent the majority of the day with the movers and didn't have time for lunch. I had no idea what to have for dinner, but I happened upon a health food restaurant right around the corner from our new building and found the smoothie I was craving!
We unpacked most of the kitchen (very important) so I was able to put together a bowl for overnight oats. We don't have much in our fridge yet, but there was enough for this!
After skipping our workout Monday morning we wanted to do something today but knew we also didn't want to wake up at our normal 4:50am so we decided to try the gym downstairs. Much better than what our old building had but I'm not convinced yet that I can give up my gym membership (especially since my new company has a discount with my gym that I have to check out). I spent a half hour on the elliptical, did a very brief strength training session and stretched a good amount (no foam roller here though). Still, I got a decent workout in this morning and it was just downstairs!
Okay, breakfast time.
ingredients:
1/2cup whole rolled oats
3/4cup water
1tsp ground flaxseed
1tsp chia seeds
1/4tsp cinnamon
2tsp Trader Joe's salt free smooth peanut butter
1tsp organic cinnamon apple sauce
10 raisins
1. combine oats, water, flaxseed, cinnamon and raisins night before.
2. morning of mix in the rest of the ingredients prior to eating so they can soak a little bit
3. enjoy!
It was delicious and a great way to start my day. Tomorrow I may start it with a run around the new neighborhood! Ok, I'm off to work!

Glad things are progressing so well. Interesting view. The lights at night must be beautiful.
Nice to be able to just go downstairs for your workout.
Glad to hear things are going well...moving is always so stressful!
that smoothie sounds great...hope you get settled soon!
Yum Smoothies! I haven't had one in a while! Hope you get everything unpacked!
When my daughter and I moved into our apartment last September (after leaving the only house she had ever lived in) it took about a month before we both said it didn't feel like we were in a hotel any longer. LOL.
HOpe the unpacking goes well.
I'm super excited about my house but sometimes I think about how cool it'd be to be in a high rise in NYC.
Love the new view.
Smoothies are yummy but expensive---why is that?
Your smoothie sounds great! What a view, happy unpacking!! :)
What a great view!!!
Can't wait to hear more about the apt! Must be weird but also fun running in a new neighborhood. Definitely take time to explore.
Your overnight oats look good. They are a great post workout!
