Tuesday Today

It's weird starting the week on a Tuesday, but I don't mind. When I woke up to go to chem lab, my arms were so weak from Gravity yesterday! Ahh I love this feeling. Even now I can still feel it! Yay!

Breakfast was a peanut butter and banana sandwich; it held me over through lab and running a couple errands after! The picture only shows the inside, because I had to use the heel of the bread which isn't as pretty to look at.

After lab I went to pic up my passport-sized photos. They are one of the many steps in applying to study abroad, and I got the photo taken yesterday. The photo isn't the greatest- I know haha

I took a couple photos to the Study Abroad Office. There's one more thing off of my list!

Here's the sheet of the four I have left now:

Aaacckkk!! My eyes do look grey though which is a good thing :)

Lunch! I've been able to smell the pumpkin muffins in my room, and not having one yesterday was hard! I planned to have one today with my (conventional :( ) apple. This lunch was surprisingly filling! I think it was the combo of the cream cheese and apple.

I took a bite of apple before remembering to take a picture! whoops

I just got back from yoga and am headed to my second lab for the day in a little bit. Here's the snack I'm packing to tie me through it and Zumba before dinner tonight:

Oatmeal bar! I only have three left. Looks like I'll be baking more in the next couple weeks, once the muffins are gone though.

4x4x4x4

After trying and trying to figure out what eating pattern works for me, I have figured out some loose guidelines that help me when planning my food.

Eat 4 times a day

Every 4 hours

About 400 calories each meal

4 a happy me!

Obviously these are only guidelines. If I know I'm going to do a hard workout, for example, I make sure to eat a little before and after so my body doesn't go all "starvation mode" on me. And of course the food included in this is all healthy and good! Yum yum. 

Here was my dinner for tonight:

mmm!

purple plate

lunch/snack before bio lab and Zumba!
