September 25th

Apparently updating my blog from Blake and Chase's dorm is the norm now-good to know.

Breakfast:

I was SO good this morning-slept in until 9:30 and made an AWESOME scramble :)  It's 2 egg whites, a tomato, 3 mushrooms, some onion and garlic powder, and 1 tbsp. mild salsa with 1 cup of coffee with 2 tbsp. skim milk and 2 splendas. YUMMY :)

Lunch:





 
Making that scramble more often-it filled me until lunch!  So, I took a picture at first because that was my original lunch, but then Blake asked me to get lunch with him after I ate the strawberries, so the salad is in a tupperware for tomorrow :)  So, 1 cup of coffee with 2 tbsp. skim milk and 2 splendas, 4 strawberries, and 1 cup of lettuce, 1/4 cup cherry tomatoes, 1 oz. balsamic vinegar, and some pulled pork. YUMMY :)  And yes, we do frequently get meals at Whole Foods.  When it's right around the corner, how could you not? :)

Snack:

After lunch at Whole Foods, and then shopping there, I was REALLY craving chocolate, so to the Chocolate Hazelnut Butter I went :)  Snack 1 was 2 tbsp. of that :)

Snack 2:

Stacy's Simply Naked Pita Chips with 2 tbsp original hummus-SO SO SO GOOD :)

Dinner:

Crock Pot Sunday = TURKEY CHILI :)  1 Serving of that with a sprinkle of cheese on top :)

Dessert:

1/4 cup Ciao Bella Raspberry Sorbet (also a treat for getting a 100% on my Anthropology quiz-yay!)

Snack 3:

I can't seem to go to Blake and Chase's Room without food.  So 1 serving of Late July Organic Peanut Butter Sandwich Crackers and a Luna Protein Bar-Cookie Dough. YUM!

Exercise:  Not today-homework took up ALL my time!

Pros: Yay for eating well, especially those veggies!

Cons:  WATER and EXERCISE!  I'm going to the gym tomorrow (WI should be good!), so I'll try to create a workout plan tonight for the week and make myself go :)

Hoping for a fabulous tomorrow!

September 24th

Greetings from Blake and Chase's room again :)  Lucy and Chase are playing Call of Duty 4, Blake's playing some computer game, and I'm over here blogging/reading for class.  Chase's favorite hockey team is playing tonight at 10, so we're just hanging out until we all watch it together-we're totes presh, I know :)

Breakfast:

We eat breakfast with the boys, but they usually wake up late, so I needed something to tide me over.  I had my usual coffee with 2 tbsp. skim milk and 2 splendas with 1/2 cup nonfat vanilla yogurt, 2 diced strawberries, some sliced almonds, and cinnamon-YUMMY :) 

Snacks:

 

Two cups of coffee, both with 2 tbsp. skim milk and 2 splendas-I really needed some caffeine :)

Lunch:

The boys made us brunch!  I only took a little bit because I didn't want to overkill.  I had 2 pieces of Canadian Bacon, 1 slice of Turkey Bacon, 2 Egg Whites, 1 Maple Pork Sausage, and 1 Pancake with no butter/syrup! YAY for self-control!

Snack:

Around 5, I was doing some reading for class and got REALLY hungry!  So I had 2 Wheat Thins Garlic & Parsley Flatbread Crackers with 2 tbsp. Whole Foods Hummus-SO GOOD :)

Dinner:

My roommate wanted macaroni and cheese, and so I made Annie's 25% Less Sodium Macaroni & Cheese, and had 1 cup of it, and added in a diced tomato, 3 diced mushrooms, and 1/2 cup cooked peas-SO SO SO GOOD :)

Snacks:

Here I am in the boys' room, and I brought some snacks this time :)  An apple and a Luna Bar-Cookie Dough :)  Definitely finished a day of pretty good eating :)

Exercise:  Not today-I REALLY need to go!

Pros:  Drinking TONS of water, getting my fruits and veggies in, and eating well :)

Cons: EXERCISE!

September 23rd

So, greetings from Blake and Chase's room, where Blake has no idea that I'm posting this :)  Lucy and Chase went to a bookstore/probably got dessert, so we're just hanging out here :)

Breakfast:

I think I'm making a tradition where when I don't have classes, I make oatmeal. YUMMY :)  So I had Oats Revolution-Apples and Cinnamon and 1 cup of coffee with 2 tbsp. skim milk and 2 splenda.

Snack:

Grapes and another cup of coffee with 2 splendas and 2 tbsp. skim milk. Loving on my coffee here :)  Also, note the NEWLY FIXED desk that the fixit guy came today for-yay!  It's only been four weeks since we put in a request...no big deal.

Lunch:

I met my friend Mary (codename) at Whole Foods and we got lunch-SO SO SO GOOD :)

Snack:

A bag of grapes-I'm addicted :)

Snack 2:

Blake invited me to go to dinner with him after he did some homework, post grocery shopping today.  I know he'll appreciate me saying this on my blog, even if he has no idea, but he was SUCH a southern gentleman today!  He held his umbrella over me as we walked to Whole Foods, carried my bags back to his room, carried the empty bags/cart to Safeway, while holding the umbrella over me again, and then carried ALLL the bags back from Safeway, even though the cart wheel was broken and they were all super heavy!  He truly is the best guy friend I have and I love him for what he does :)  But anyways, so while I waited for him to finish some homework (it was 6:30), I needed some food, so I got a Luna Bar :)

Dinner:

Blake and I went to Whole Foods since he'd never been and the other place he suggested was Nando's, which made me sick last time.  It was so much fun and SO SO good :)

Snack:

After dinner, I needed something sweet, so I went to my room to get my books, and got these two wonderful snacks. SO GOOD :)

Exercise:  Not today-too busy doing work/getting errands done/hanging with friends :)

Pros:  Yay for eating really well and getting some GREAT food for the next week! I'm excited to show y'all what I create :)

Cons:  Water and Exercise!

September 22nd

So, today's been pretty interesting-super stressful, but some good things happened and I'm happy :)  It feels like a Friday though, because I'm done with classes for the weekend, but at the same time, I'm glad I have an extra day to do all this homework!

Breakfast:

Slept in a bit, and still had plenty of time for breakfast-wonder if I'm ever going to eat those Nutri-Grain bars :)

Snack:

1/4 Cucumber.  I was going to have the other 1/4 for dinner, but it was frozen, and I had to throw it out :(

Lunch:

So I was planning on making a salad/wrap in the room for lunch, but then Blake texted me that the BBQ Food Truck was outside our dorm again (I had already eaten lunch when he told me the other day), so my roommate offered to buy me lunch!  The pulled pork sandwich was SO big that I got to eat barbecue for TWO meals today, and I didn't eat the bun :)  Here's meal one!

Snack:

I now have to have snacks between classes on Tuesday/Thursday, so good thing I packed one :)  Yes, this would be my awesome picture taking skills in action as I'm walking out of class :)

Snack:



 


After class, I came to my room, decided not to take a nap, and had a couple of snacks instead, and my roommate then made me coffee-love my roommate!

Dinner:

Hello Pork dinner number 2!  I made a salad with romaine lettuce, a diced tomato, and the pork. ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!

Snack:

For one of my classes, I have to watch Saving Private Ryan, and the boys (Blake and Chase) so nicely offered to watch it with me, saying something about how girls hate war movies :)  So I went down to their room, and came with my own snacks :) (That's Blake's bed by the way.  I'm sure his bed will become my second favorite picture taking spot with my food haha)  Oh, I also had 3 Chips Ahoy cookies, but I couldn't put the picture up because I had already uploaded some.

Exercise:  Not today, because I was so busy, but I will tomorrow!  Blake and I are going food shopping (and maybe clothes shopping if I can convince him) :)

Pros:  Yay for eating fairly well, even though I'm feeling some upcoming PMS starting :/  Also, yay for drinking water :)  And I got my fruits and veggies in :)

Cons:  Get More Exercise!

September 21st

Get ready for a busy busy day full of pictures and LOTS of snacks! :)

Breakfast:

Back to the schedule-1 cup of Cheerios with 1/2 cup skim milk and 2 diced strawberries and 1 cup of coffee with 2 tbsp. skim milk and 2 splendas :)

Snack:

Someone got hungry before lunch and needed a nice snack-Activa Light: Raspberry with like 3 almond slices in it-yummy!

Lunch:

I saw the Capmac truck on campus, but I knew that wouldn't be a good idea, so I went to Whole Foods-DELISH!  I got a Turkey Burger with lettuce, tomato, sauteed mushrooms, and grilled onions, with a salad with cherry tomatoes, corn, onions, mushrooms, and red vinegar. SO ABSOLUTELY YUMMY!

Snack:

I was going to study with a classmate, and then head to a community service event with some sorority sisters, so I made sure to get a little snack in before, since I didn't know when I'd eat next.

Snack 2:

Right before I left, I realized I needed another one-Wheat Thins Flatbread with 1 tbsp Supremely Spicy Hummus = 95 calories. WIN.

Dinner:

 

I went to Chop't with a sorority sister, and was really excited, but it wasn't as good as I expected, so I took an after picture to show that I only ate half haha

Post-Dinner Snacks:

 

Yeah, the post-dinner period killed me today-but not too much :)

Exercise: Not today-too much work and community service :)

Pros: Yay for the fruits and veggies :)

Cons: I need water and exercise!

September 20th

So today was super fabulous-not as great as yesterday, but still pretty awesome nonetheless :)

Breakfast:  

Finishing up more tupperwares this morning!  I had almost the same breakfast as yesterday-1 piece of whole wheat french toast, 2 egg whites, 2 strawberries, and 1 cup of coffee with 2 tbsp. skim milk and 2 splendas. YAY! :)

Snacks:

Today is my SUPER busy day, where I have five classes in a row, from 9:35-4:45. YIKES!  So, today was the first day I decided to pack snacks with me.  At 10:45, I had the grapes.  At 12:30, I had the cucumbers. At 2:00, I had the peanut butter crackers, and at 3:20, I had 1/2 the bag of edamame.  They're wasabi-flavored, so I can apparently only handle 1/16 cup worth...oh well :)

Snack 2:

I was getting a caffeine headache, so I made myself another cup of coffee with 2 tbsp. skim milk and 2 splendas, and that got rid of it-yay :)

Dinner:

Using up even MORE tupperwares, and bringing our total in the fridge down to TWO, I finished up the Turkey Chili (about 4oz worth), and 1.5 cups of sauteed yellow squash-YUMMY! :)

Snacks:

I went down to Blake and Chase's room around 8:30, since Chase and Lucy went to the library, and I can't study in a completely silent room.  I took a bag of grapes with me (SO GENIUS!) since I was feeling hungry and it hit the spot.

Then, when Lucy and I got back to our room after 10, she wanted ice cream, and I decided that a little Raspberry Sorbet never killed anyone :)

Exercise:

I didn't get any in today because my schedule on Tuesdays is JAM PACKED, but I definitely walked a least a mile today, going back and forth to opposite ends of campus all day.

Pros:

I ate well, I took pictures, I ate my fruits and veggies, and I'm quite content :)

Cons:

I need to drink some more water!
