After my first two classes, I had a one hour break, so I headed over to the Student Union to get a Clif Bar for some fuel. 
My Bio Lab does not start until next week (yay!) so I am done earlier today than I expected. I need to finish getting all of my books and what not! At one, I met Alexa for lunch and got my favorite thing that is offered.....A veggie pizza! There is not too much cheese, the crust is perfectly chewy and (depending on who made the pizza that day) it can be loaded with veggies or just have a few (today was not a loaded day, but it wasn't bad either!). YUMM!
I then had a diet coke! I am such a sucker for these while at school. I got unsweetened tea this morning with my Cliff Bar and, if you keep your receipt, you can get a free refill (see where I am going here...I cant pass up something free! lol). I try to get unsweetened tea once, so I am not having two big diet cokes each day (though it happens....).
Have a great day and if you went back to school, I hope your classes are going well too!
GUESS WHAT?! ZestyCook is holding a giveaway! Simply comment on this post and you will have the chance to win this sweet book: Fundamentals of Photography. I would love to improve my camera skills!
My friend was not feeling her best, so we skipped the second class and simply did a 20 minute Abs class (a great workout!) and about 30 minutes on the elliptical while watching King of Queens.
These are the dressing packets I bought. I also have the light Ranch and Italian varieties to keep things interesting! These are really great for on-the-go!
I just finished a 100 calorie bag of these little guys (pic courtesy of associatedcontent.com):
My first class is Political Science tommorrow at 8AM, which means I have to leave my dorm by 7:35, which means that I have to wake up at 6:45! JOY!
My eats today have been kind of crazy and I have alot of things I need to get done today, so in no particualr order: 
Yogurt with a handfull of Bear Naked Peak Protein Granola: (I really like the taste of this granola because it is softer than most. Almost like graham crackers or something!)
I am currently munching on a Fiber One Oats & Chocolate Granola Bar. I was reading 
Back at school and ready for the semester! My friend and I printed off the Rec Center's schedule and we are going to try a number of different classes, starting tommorrow! Last semester, we simply went to use the treadmills or ellipticals, but I think more classes would be fun. The choices are things like cardio funk, cardio boxing, BOSU (?!), Zumba, Cardio Step, Body Sculpting and Abs (which I have done and really like!). Do you guys have any advice about which ones you enjoy (and what they are?! haha)
However, an hour later (around 10AM), my friend Alexa was picking me up and I was very hungry so I ate the PBJ sandwich I made for lunch! haha I used Smuckers low sugar jam (with no artificial sweeteners) and the delicious Archer Farms Chocolate Peanut Butter on 100% WW Sara Lee Bread.
While on the road I had about 5 of Alexa's Baked Lays (not worth a picture!).
We made it to QT and the machine with my favorite thing was NOT WORKING. I was so mad. My favorite thing at QT is the frozen coffee drinks. There is a cappuccino flavor and a regular flavor and I usually mix the two. However, it was out of service (it was probably too cold for the average bear, but you are talking to the girl who could eat ice cream in the snow!). The first time I ever visited a QT was about a year and a half ago and my mom actually asked about the nutrition info for those frozen coffee drinks and they are not bad! I dont remember the calorie content, but the fat content is about 5% of the RDA for Total Fat and 10% of the RDA for sat. fat for a 12oz or 16oz serving (can't remember which)! 
We went to Scholtzky's for dinner (about the only thing we could find and we were both starving!). I got a vegetarian pizza and it was piled with veggies! I forgot to bring in my camera and it was too wet and cold to go get it (bad blogger alert!), but it was delicious! There was also a perfect amount (not too much) mozzarella cheese! MMMM! 
I saved the not so good for last... I left 2 things at home: a t-shirt (no biggie)........and 
And after adding about 1cup of frozen veggies, my lunch was ready. Man this is good! The rosemary is prevalent and refreshing. It tastes just like a "spa" meal.
Today is go, go, go! Here's what's on my to-do list:
I made my dessert in advance (around 2) so it could harden in the freezer. All I did was take 2 Quaker caramel corn rice cakes and sandwich a little spoonful of the decadent ice cream in between. However, I promptly ate them around 4! (oops)
At about 5:30 I had a piece of Sara Lee 100% Whole Wheat Bread topped with a slice of cheese and broiled until the top was crispy and melty & the bottom was warm and soft. While I ate, I thought about what to make for dinner...
And decided I would use up the rest of the Veggie Corn Dogs (since noone else in my family will eat them and I hate to see food wasted). I paired them with a few Archer Farms Sweet Potato Fries and some frozen veggies that I drizzled with Italian dressing and threw into the oven with the rest of the meal (so fast and delicious). Then, you just wait....and you get this!
I ended the meal with some Caramel Corn Rice Quakes while watching this new TV show with my mom. It is called "Game Show in My Head" and at first I thought it was really stupid, but in the end, it was pretty funny! Then again, it's definitely not something I would rush home to see or anything.
After having my "ice cream sandwiches" earlier and tasting the heavenly ice cream, I knew I had to have a cone for dessert! Period! This stuff is phenomenal and there is no shortage of almond bits or fudge. Furthermore, I really like dairy free ice cream (as opposed to low-fat or regualr ice cream) because it, generally, is lower in saturated fat. Then again, you don't always get the Calcium benefit, so I guess it's a trade off!
What is your favorite ice cream treat?!
This morning I pressed snooze a few times, but eventually got out of bed, got ready and made it in time for my 10AM hair appointment. Afterwards, my mom and I made a quick trip to Target. We purused the Dollar Spot and I got some decorative paper bowls (which you will be seeing soon) and some dish towels for my dorm. I made my way to the frozen foods section and struck gold. There were so many things on sale, I could not contain myself (I am quite the bargain girl!). We got a few things (including some stellar dairy free ice cream which you will surely be hearing more about tonight!!). Although I leave in two days, I purchased things that would either not expire soon or would be consumed by my family. 
I am now enjoying a juicy fuji apple, which I sliced up and piled onto one of my little plates.
Dinner was just as great. As I said before, Alexa and I went to the Spaghetti Warehouse. The atmosphere was so fun and modern. After signing up for their online "club", I was emailed a coupon for a free appetizer. 
Well I am about to watch the Cotton Bowl and root on my Red Raiders!!!! I see some form of snack in my future, but not exactly sure what. After the game, I will be getting ready for dinner and the Rockettes Show. I will try to take a picture of my dinner tonight.
Cookie (With a game of sequence of course!):
So Yes...It is after Christmas, yet here I was decorating Christmas Cookies! (It sure was fun though!) Mine do not look nearly as intricate as 
Small glass of milk to wash it down! Note the cute & small Coca-Cola glass that my mom found at the Dollar store (nonetheless) some time ago. [Note the Sequence Board Game in the background....My mom and I are quite the gamers!]
At some point I had this: :)
Dinner was this: Healthy Choice Split Pea and Ham Soup and a 100% Whole Wheat Pepperridge Farms Hamburger bun (toasted) with a bit of Smart Balance on top. This bread is so doughy and delicious (too bad that was my last one!). The soup on the other hand was not my cup of tea. There was a fake smokey flavor, yet bland and .....just not too good!
