A BLURRRR

The past week has been a blurrrr! Seriously, I can't believe I have been home for a week! Where has the time gone?! I am going to get some stuff done today....PRODUCTIVITY! :D lol It has been an awesome week of relaxation....now back to the GRIND (aka.....studying my butt off!). I only have about 5 more weeks of school and then I will have finished my first year of college.....craziness! I want to finish these last 5 weeks hard (study hard, eat healthy, workout and just feeeeel GOOD!).

I am contemplating on how to continue with the blog.....possibly not posting about every single bite of food that goes into my mouth (actually, I already dont post EVERYTHING). However, I am considering doing just one meal a day and maybe focusing more on food science facts and things I am learning and how I am dealing with college and staying healthy. Ok, this is just some contemplation. I will post more later once I figure out what I want to do! I know I want to keep the blog running, but I am just not sure which road I want to take! Any suggestions?! What do you want to see? The day in the life of a college student? More about my workouts? My thoughts on various food articles? Food reviews? A meal a day (instead of every PBJ, banana, coffeee, etc that I eat frequently)? Something else?

Yummy Lunch *the banana was for "b-fast" at 10:15 when I woke up*! :D I better get ready to wake back up at 6:30 on monday (Hello COFFEEE!). Lunch was a bed of romaine with a tuna salad (Miracle Whip, one whole can of tuna and a squirt of mustard) on top. I also had some triscuits with a little mozz cheese melted on top and some tomato slices. Then I finished off the box of triscuits (probably 2 or so "servings")...they were delish!

Time to wash my car (manually....so I can really get it clean....since I can't wash it by hand at school in the middle of a huge parking lot! lol), play with my puppies....who I will miss dearly!, study for the CLEP test I need to take as soon as I feel ready, possibly study for my Biology and/or Art test that I have the week I get back, get things packed up (I dont know if I am leaving tommorrow or Sunday), Possibly go shopping later when my mom gets home for some school snacks to bring back with me and then play some more games with my mommy!

After those 5 weeks of school, I come back home and go to a 3 week mini mester of summer school (History...yuck!) and then (hopefully) have a job! I like to plan ahead~ :D

P.s. I almost forgot........I got up feeling awesome and in a "running mood" (Which does not happen often when I have just woken up). So I stretched, got on my workout clothes, grabbed my water bottle and Ipod, pulled out the treadmill and got pumped. Then, I turned on the my ipod and started running. It said it was 2/3 of the way charged...good enough for me! However, 2 seconds later, it says "Ipod is powering off, please connect to a power source". It has been doing this for a while now and I am ABOUT to throw it out and start over (BUT I would rather salvage the ipod I have.....these things don't grow on trees!). I am going to try charging it with Alexa's wall charger (as opposed to the computer) and if that works, I will buy one of those. Otherwise.......RIP Mr. Ipod. Let's hope I can revive him!

Oh and needless to say, I didn't run because running is only fun (For me) if I have some rockin' tunes to accompany/encourage me....and if it's not fun, then what's the point!?

What a LONG Post......F.Y.I. I have finished 2 and a half Seasons Of Gilmore Girls on DVD this week! :D

No One Guy's Pizza This Week! :(

I am loving my spring break and can't believe how fast it is FLYING by! :( Another Picture recap because King of Queens is coming on soon! :D
Dinner last night: One Large sweet potato (microwaved and cut into chunks) layered in a bowl with Amy's Chili and sauteed Kale sprinkled with Mozz. Cheeeeese! YUMM! So good!
Dessert las night (and a game!): No Pudge Brownie and SEQUENCE! Have you ever played it?


Some Heart to Heart last night with a little GG thrown in (ok, ALOT of GG!) haha


BRUNCH: 2 slices of honey wheat bread dunked in a (milk, egg, cinnamon, sugar) mixture and cooked on the stove until crispy, then cut into French Toast Stix! Served with a side of warm maple syrup and a sliced banana with a Tablespoon-ish of PB (I started putting some of the PB on my fork, then putting a bite of french toast on top and dunking it into the syrup.....ummm HELLO!)! And a glass of milk to wash it all down! SOOOO good!
A new necklace ($10) I got yesterday at American Eagle on sale and a new shirt ($6) at Forever 21! Bargains. Love them.
A Shoe Arsenal we got at Khols today. The black ones were on sale for $21, the red (which are mostly my mom's, but I will undoubtedly borrow them when I am home this summer!) were $11 and the brown were $15! I was actually in need of some new shoes...havent had any in a long while! :D

VEGGIES! Carrots, broccoli, edamame, lima beans, asparagus, spinach, cauliflower.....that's all i can remember! Check out the mug! CHEA! I also have a Dragonfly Inn one (you will understand that if you watch Gilmore Girls! lol) I got them for my mom last year for Christmas online!
I also had another big, soft Pizza-pretzel, some triscuits with spinach dip (ok, more than some), a no pudge brownie and a 100 calorie pack of Girl Scout cookies and possibly a handful of cereal. I am not used to eating a brunch (not enough calories for this girlie), but that is what you get when you sleep in until 10:15! Oh spring break, how I love thee! I have only been on the treadmill twice this week; but you know what, it's vacation....live a little, right!?!? :D

*****CoLoRs****

Hey hey! It's beautiful outside and my mom is heading home early, so we are going to get a little shopping done! Here's my lunch though for your amusement! lol

I decided to make a HUGE wrap.....4 slices of Chicken, 1 slice of Provelone, 1 roma tomato chopped up and about 3 huge leaves of romaine chopped up! YUM!
I also tried my FIRST blood orange!! SO excited!!! I LOVE the flavor (and color!). It tastes like a combo of cherry and orange. I can't wait to go get some more! :D
And to end the lunch on a sweet note: (the pic would NOT come out, so I gave up!)

CHECK OUT Bender's Giveaway!
p.s. I am definitely not commenting as much over spring break, but I am quickly staying touch! I'll be back full force soon (unfortunately...because that will mean spring break is over!).
