Creamy Rainbow

Friday = a great day, no!?!! This morning as I was rushing around to leave on time (I always seem to wake up late on friday! hmmm.....wonder why?!), I grabbed one of my New Fiber One Chocolate Mocha Bars (See my giveaway below!). The second I ripped it open, I felt like I had walked into Starbucks! NO JOKE! Just the smell will wake you up! The taste was more chocolate than coffee, but it was still really good!! :D Lunch was a ham and provelone sammie on whole wheat! It tasted delish...but afterwards, my stomach had a hugeeee knot in it and was hurting sooo bad! I have not had ham in...well I can't even remember....so perhaps my stomach was not up to digesting it? Who knows?

Well, an achy stomach calls for something creamy and colorful to "turn that frown upside down"!
Topped with a small handfull of crushed cereal....
And you get THIS~ YUMM!
And by scooping some out into a bowl (instead of eating the pint straight from the container, I got a full bowl of ice cream and only used this much!). It's amazing! If I would have eaten straight from the container, I would not have stopped there because it doesnt look like much when it is all compact and what not! I have never understood how these pints contain 4 servings, but now I see why! PLUS Since it was not chocolate or vanilla, I was not tempted to go back for more. I like Sherbet (especially this one, which had a touch of fat for an utterly creamy feel), but it is not as beloved as some other creamy creations!I have a whole day (sort of) ahead of me and am not exactly sure what to do with it!

Perhaps this schedule:

2-4:00- Homework, catch up on stuff

4:00- Watch Gilmore Girls! I haven't watched it in so long and I have the time today! :D (**BIG SMILE**)

5:00- Gym

6:00- The store perhaps?

Any tips for running in the midst of a chilly morning?

Lights out at the Market (+ 2nd Giveaway!)

Hey Hey! Alexa's B-day "party" was fun! I got my beloved Kevaccino (fat free frozen yogurt, mocha stuff and skim milk for those of you that have been living under a rock....or possibly are just new to my blog! lol). Kristen and I also picked up a helium baloon for the birthday girl! :D I had this bar on my way to get Kristen! I was a hungry hungry hippo!

Dinner = Whole wheat wrap from the Cafeteria with black beans, lettuce, tomato and shredded cheese!
Totally Nutritious & Delicious! :D
My mommy's Easter package! I LOVE PACKAGES! :D
It consisted of an Easter card, Self Magazine, Delia's Catalog, candy, a homemade "april" card (I have one crafty mom!), my mail that has been sent to the house, a cute duckie (I am 5! haha), Mulah $$, and FOOD! (oh and a Tank top I have been looking everywhere for! Turns out, I left it at home over spring break!)
The food! I told my mom to send me limited candy while at school and she respectfully abides by my wishes (too much candy + a tiny room = BAD Idea!). However, easter calls for a chocolate bunny! ;) She also sent me a variety of bars, which are always welcome! Quaker True Delights and Fiber One to be exact!
You can bet that pink tube is now empty! I LOVE mini M&M's (but never buy them for myself!)! :D
I am involved in General Mills' "Pssst....Program" and they sent me a box of their newest Fiber One Chocolate Mocha Chewy Bars and a bazillion coupons! That, my friends, is where you come in! I am going to be giving away 2 coupons to THREE different people! How can you enter?
1) Leave a comment below with your favorite bar. Have you ever tried Fiber One?
2) Post a link on your blog.
3) Add me to your blog roll.
That equals up to 3 entries! Do one or do them all, but just let me know (by comment or email to nutritiousisdelicious(at)yahoo.com)

The contest ends MONDAY Night @ 9pm! I will try to pick my winners Sunday night before hitting the sack!
P.s. Thanks for all of the congrats on my last post!! :D
I just realized I never explained my title....I went to the grocery store to look for Oikos (and justt browse around...because what is more fun than that?!)....and as I was walking up to the door, I noticed that it was dark! Apparently, their electricity went out! So they couldnt check anyone out! BUMMER!
HAPPY FRIDAY!

Hold on tight!!! :O

We are having a massive windstorm today! There were woodchips flying around, sand in your eyes, etc etc.!! Kristen and I saw this older couple walking together and the man was having to hold on tight to his wife! It was so cute!



Anyways, for breakfast this morning I had a Banana (***Shocker***) and a new bar (Always fun!).....I would like to introduce you to Balance BARE Trail Mix Fruit and Nut Bar.
This bar reminds me of a Luna (as you can tell by the looks of it!), but is just a tad more "natural" tasting! Either way, I would reccommend it! :D
We got back our Food Science tests and I got a .....97! yay! After FDSC, Kristen and I walked across campus (more like blew across campus) and met up with Alexa for lunch. I got a delicious stirfry with (let's see if I can remember it all...): Yellow squash, snap peas, carrots, cabbage, green pepper, pineapple (Kristen convinced me and I am glad that she did!), mushrooms and broccoli with a scoop of teriyaki sauce over a bed of rice! Delish!

After lunch, I went to Art class (and almost fell asleep!).
Then, I headed home to wrap Alexa's gift! I am going to pick Kristen up in about 30 minutes and we are headed over to KEVA JUICE for some present opening and yummy drinks! Then Alexa is hitting the road to meet up with her family at her Grandpa's house this weekend!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY ALEXA (one day early!)
I think I am going to try to run to the store after dropping Kristen off and hunt down OIKOS!!

If He brings you to it, He'll bring you through it!

I am THROUGH with my CHEM and FDSC test! :D I think I got an A on my FDSC test.....CHEM is another story! I don't really know what I got (Hoping for an A....but think I got a B). Whatever, it's over, so let's move on!

Before I show you 293789 pics from the past 3 or so days, let me tell you a FUNNY STORY! You may laugh...BUT I was not laughing.....(lol)

Let me precursor this story with the fact that I wake up every MWF around 6:30 (glorious, right?). Last night (while studying for Chemistry), I accidentally unplugged our fridge/TV/printer because the cord is shoved right next to the wall by my desk (the joys of living in a 2X2 ft dorm...)....long story short: I had to reset the time on the microwave.
On to the story.....My roomie and I went to bed last night around Midnight (I think I probably fell asleep around 12:20ish). I then woke up and saw that my alarm clock was at the "30" and I needed to get up. So out of bed I went, I put on my towel wrap, walked to/took a shower, came back and looked at the wall clock above my bed: the second hand was between the "50" and "55" (which means I am doing well time-wise). I then proceeded to do my make-up, blow dry my hair, get dressed and decided to look at the microwave (easiest clock to see in the dark) and saw that it said "2:20". I must have set it wrong by accident last night. I looked at my watch: "2:20". I ran to my phone "2:20". I stood in the middle of my room in the "almost dark" just thinking and pondering "WHAT THE HECK". I couldn't believe my eyes. The fact that it was 2:20 means that I woke up at 1:30 (only about one hour after falling asleep). And I must have waken up on my own because my alarm was set for the right time. AND It is REALLY wierd that I happened to randomly wake up on a "30". Moral of the story: DONT (no matter how tired you may be) simply rely on the second hand (or minutes part) of a clock to gauge your time. I was so embarassed and said "Im Sorry" to my roomie as many times as possible (though the poor thing claims that she only woke up for a sec and simply thought I was going to the restroom!). Uh, I feel so bad and so stupid! I wasn't even tired when I laid back down in my bed at 2:30......but I did fall asleep around 4! I think this week has left me frazzled!
Ok onto the eats! I am going to keep it short because of that book up there^^!
Breakfast at the little Health Food Store around here! This place is Alexa & I's new addiction (Affordable and DELISH!)!
I requested an egg white omelet (though it was not on the menu, they gladly honored my request....and successfully!).

Turkey, advocado, tomato & Jack Cheese! It was so good, I couldn't stop taking pics!! :D
Stacy's Cinnamon Sugar Pita Chips (Stacy's Pita Chips are my weakness so I barely ever buy a big bag....I did tempt Alexa into buying them and giving me a bag....now she is addicted! lol!)
PBJ & APPLE & BANANA (there were a few of these consumed since I last "saw" you guys!)
Yum! A treat I picked up at the Health Food Store (on sale!).
Study Fuel!
The Health Food Store again! I got Minestrone Soup! It was nothing short of what I expected!
Alexa got the Nachos! One of OUR favorites! MMMM!
I used to hate raw broccoli (love the cooked stuff) UNLESS it was covered in hummus (YUM!).....Apparently, Laughing Cow achieves the same effect.
I LOVE LAUGHING COW!
I consumed this snack MORE than once! :)
I got a brownie thrown at my head again in Chem for asking a ? (no complaining here!). I split it in half (it was so dense that 1/2 of it was satisfying) and divided it between 2 days!

An All Natural Apple Cinnamon Cereal Bar
I had a few of these! (Fast fuel!)
TIRAMISU GELATO ( I got another cup today! nummmm!)

This is what stress/studying does to you. I am officially (and thankfully) burnt out on Chex Mix!

Honey Bunches of Oats Cereal (Courtesy of Alexa, who did not care for it!).
Everyone knows that I love every and all cereals! PERIOD!
The other half of the delectable brownie!
BLAAAHHH!
Snackies today!
I also got a Sammie from the Boar's Head Sandwich shop on campus today and that was delish! Obviously this is not everything I ate, but it is alot of it! I plan on getting back into my running routine tommorrow! No more tests until next Friday! :D I am also running low on Food (***gasp***) and need to run to the store and stock up on HEALTHY EATS!
Have an awesome Thursday!
And PLEASE...for the sake of your roommates, family, friends, spouse.....DONT wake up and get ready at 2 in the morning! Look at that hour hand!


P.s. Regular blogging will commence tommorrow! YAY!
