Scheduling

Evening all! I write to you mid-experiment of my schedule. See, I am very efficient in getting things done during the day because I am a big morning person. However this leaves me ahead in my classes all of the time (which I'm totally fine with) but also leaves me in bed doing nothing for several hours each night, which I don't like. 

I have decided that I am going to try to get at least one thing done after dinner at least 3 nights per week because despite being a head I am still often stressed and I think this may actually help.

To stay productive I have kept my jeans on instead of changing into sweats and I have put both my room lights on instead of the christmas lights that I like to put on for the evening. I'm also allowing myself to relax during dinner by blogging and watching the new House so We'll see! 

I packed lunch to have in class

Whole wheat tortilla with butter beans, tahini sauce and siracha that I forgot to put inside

With a side bag of orange

I got hungry for a snack earlier than normal and grabbed this out of my backpack. I had half during class and then finished it when I got out.

Pure protein bar

I also had a little spoonful of barney butter to tide me through getting more homework done

For dinner I ventured to the kitchen again but not as exiting as last night

Two eggs over easy with spinach, broccoli, mushrooms and peppers and a baked potato that I got from the school snack bar

Topped with Mrs. Dash Tomato Basil Garlic salt and nutritional yeast 

One guess as to what it's all getting dipped in

I'm sure I'll end up having a desserty type study snack, will report in the morning! And I would just like to take a second to brag that my pre workout snack, breakfast AND lunch for tomorrow are currently in my fridge, woo hoo!

Peace!

Woo I'm tired just reading it, but at least I got a lot done!

Lunch was eaten in my school's fancy science center with my date cell respiration (he is HUNKY)

Salad with spinach, cauliflower, red and yellow pepper, quinoa, and my new Bobs's Red Mill TVP which was great! Good texture and could be flavored all different ways!

Topped with white wine vinegar and a bunch of Bragg's Liquid Aminos which I am loving already! In addition to garlic salt and red pepper flakes

I also had some "sweet milk" I just mix a pack of truvia with skim milk, I love it! Oh I also enjoyed a club cracker with my bio class to help demonstrate the first stage of digestion =). 

While studying and reading a few snacks were had 

Apple

Chili-Lime dry roasted chickpeas

I love these! They are a convenient, delicious, energizing snack and would probably be a great salad topper, good crunch! 

For dinner I went quick and convenient which will probably be a common theme this week 

Whole wheat tortilla with veggie chik'n pattie, hummus and avocado. And some Okra to go with my ketchup

Siracha =)

Peaks inside!

Hope everyone had a great start to the week! See you in the AM's!

Peace!

Cute outfit!

I love getting things done!

I have been to two stores, printed my study guide for bio, put my laundry in, made and am now consuming lunch, ya hoo!

I went to my FAVORITE store this morning, Bushel and Pecks. Think along the lines of trader joes had a baby with a farmers market... I surprisingly  spent a little too much money but I am quite excited about all I got!

0% plain chobani (I got all they had left) and a vanilla one for a treat =). Chocolate coconut larabars which I'm SUPER excited to try! A few cliff bars (apricot, peanut toffee buzz). White wine vingar and Braggs Liquid Aminos which I've never tried but it totally intrigues me. Black beans and some gumbo spice and of a strong dark chocolate bar (70% cocoa mmmm....).

I also grabbed these Bob's Red Mill (always reliable) products. I was excited to see you can make TVP in the microwave and I'm pumped for alternative protein option! I also have a plan for the pancake mix hopefully later this week so stay tuned... 

And this was callin' my name and I'm sure you'll be seeing it with dinner tonight!

After B&P I headed over to the more standard Walgreens to get some reasonably priced a few things B&P's doesn't carry. 

Dried fruit (figs, pineapple, craisins), gum, nail polish and foundation, protein bars and a luna bar.

I also found this which I've never seen before but it looked legit so I thought I'd give it a try. It's natural, non-GMO, vegan, organic, gluten-free and kosher so can't be too awful will report back when actually tried! 

After everything found a home and the clothes cleaning began I was HANGRY PANTALONES so enter...

Pita with avocado, cheese and egg whites, carrot sticks, and grapefruit slices 

Mmmmmm cheesy..... 

In the middle is ketchup and siracha, oh yes, I love it. 

Pumped for yoga! My only problem is that it's not until 4pm so sometimes I loose motivation throughout the day but today I came up with a plan... 

Been wearin my yoga clothes all day yo! Now I have no excuses! Yes I went to the store like this... with a jacket of course! 

And my soopes warm boots!

Now I must actually begin my bio study guide... see you later!

Peace!
