Hello and Happy Tuesday 🙂
Last night was the last night we are staying at my mom’s. Our condo is still in shambles, but I need to bite the bullet and officially move in so I can start fixing it up.
Yes, we’re going to be sleeping on an air mattress, but part of that is because we don’t want to get a bed until we re-do the floors.
Over the weekend Ben started pulling up the carpet. We want to put down wood flooring (the fake kind), but have no idea what we’re doing. Oh well, it will be another learning experience, right?!
We’ve been spending a lot of time scrolling through options and trying to figure out what kind of flooring will work best for our lifestyle and budget, and it looks like laminate flooring might be the winner.
It gives us the look of hardwood without the hefty price tag, and from what we’ve read, it’s also fairly DIY-friendly—which is a huge bonus considering we’re winging most of this.
There’s something satisfying about figuring it out as we go, knowing that every scraped knuckle and late-night YouTube tutorial is leading to a home that feels a little more “us” with each project.
This morning I did 5 miles at a 9 minute/mile pace. I wasn’t feeling it at first, but I’m glad I got out there.
Since we had to grab our stuff and head to Orange County I made a quick breakfast – smoothie and leftover muffin. 
After my body fat mention yesterday Chandra sent me an email with a breakdown of how much fat I need to lose to get to my goal. I’m going to be addressing this in a bit.
For now I must get to all these boxes!
It was awesome meeting you this weekend! Hope the air mattress is semi-comfy!
Ugh, moving is such a drag! The smoothie looks awesome!
The blog looks great!
new to your blog…found you admist some HLS linkbacks…anyway, “hi!” 🙂
body fat..never had it taken in my life til 6 mos ago when i did in advance of my fitness competition/bodybuilding show.
Im a high raw vegan so I dont really pay much attention to stats and numbers…I just dont care LOL
I like the look!
Hopefully you’ll get the yellow back 🙂
Nice new blog layout, I love it!
Good luck with the floors. I helped my parents put some in a few years ago. It wasn’t so bad. Just time-consuming!
Nice layout! Good luck with the floors- I hope you guys get settled in soon.
i like the new look! if you redo the floors, you can go to home depot and get interlocking pieces so you don’t need any glue, a lot easier and less mess! we did ours and i promise its not hard, a little time consuming but thats it.
The new design looks great! It reminds me of how I need to finally get my own blog up and running. :/
It looks like you guys have your work cut out for you in the condo but it will all be worth it when you finish. If you’re interested, here’s a link with tips for installing laminate flooring:

Let me know if you guys need anything (I’ve got a lot of underused tools in my garage if Ben wants to borrow anything.)
Oops… I think that tiny url above is wrong. Here is the the full url:

I really want to apologize for the link that I first posted. That was automatically generated when I used tinyurl.com to shrink the the link from the DIY network. I should’ve checked it before posting. I won’t make that mistake again…sorry.
I drink all my green monster’s out of the starbucks iced cups…It’s all in my head but I enjoy it so much!
