Now that's a wrap

Monday, November 23, 2009

Happy Monday everyone. I hope you had a great start to your work or school week! Just keep reminding yourself it is a short week because THANKSGIVING is in 3 days! I am very excited to go home, spend time with my family, and celebrate the holiday! Oh yes and I forgot to mention...decorate for CHRISTMAS :)
Let me rewind to last night's dinner, I had broiled chicken, peas & carrots, and a Harvest Dinner Roll with milk.
I feel like the last time I had peas & carrots (besides here at school) was when I was a lil kiddo. It is so nice to have foods I have not had in a long time! Last night I did NOT get a good nights sleep at all! I went to bed around 11:30pm but my roommate stayed up til nearly 2am writing her paper. I kept waking up every so often and then had to go to the bathroom, so I was up the majority of the night. I hate night's when I don't sleep well :/

To make up for my lack of sleep last night I deserved a much needed yummy yogurt mess for breaky to wake me up. I had Vanilla Brown Cow yogurt, Kashi Go Lean, a sliced banana, with some Teddie's peanut butter with milk on the side. It was the perfect breakfast :)

I then had my weekly Monday appointment with Karen which went well and then I had two morning classes.

Lunch was a turkey whole wheat wrap with swiss cheese, romaine lettuce, and tomatoes. Now that's a wrap!

I also had a juicy Fuji apple,
the last remnants of my pretzels,
and milk.
Ok so for some reason my copmuter is not letting me upload my pics of dinner and I really don't feel like fighting with it so I will just tell you! It says there is some internal problem, I don't know! But anyways dinner tonight is broiled chicken, green beans with mint, a huge Country roll, and milk. I will try posting my dinner pics tomorrow morning.
Tonight is my last night here at school before going home for Thanksgiving Break!! I have two classes tomorrow morning and then my mom will be coming up to get me :) I am very excited and she also told me today we can go grocery shopping together when I get home! Whoah. Yes, I do love grocery shopping ;)
Gossip Girl, Jon & Kate plus 8, and Cake Boss are all on tonight! Although I do watch Gossip Girl instead of Jon & Kate since they are on at the same time and then Cake Boss. A nice relaxing Monday night :) A great way to start my Thanksgiving break!

A Dollop

Sunday, November 22, 2009

Good afternoon lovies! I hope you all enjoy a nice Sunday afternoon filled with relaxing and watching football because that is exactly what I will be doing :)
So last night after I posted I got a lot of comments regarding my eats. I love having a blog and I really appreciate all the awesome support and advice I get from you all! Now I thought A LOT about what you all had to say and then I thought about it some more...and then some more. All I could think about last night was what I have to do for myself :) I decided I was going to do something about it and this morning I was going to do something about it!

I had a yogurt mess with Vanilla Brown Cow yogurt, Kashi Go Lean, a sliced banana, and A DOLLOP of Teddie's peanut butter with milk on the side!

Yes, that is right I had a nice yummy dollop of peanut butter on my yogurt mess and there was no skimping whatsoever and I enjoyed every delicious bite :) I mean let's be real, a yogurt is NOT complete with out the key ingredient on top...PEANUT BUTTER ;)

A great yogurt mess! The way it is supposed to be made :)

Today is going to be spent relaxing and watching THE PATRIOTS dominate in their game this afternoon!

Are you a big football fan? If so, what is your favorite team?

I guess I was tired

Saturday, November 21, 2009

Good Evening! I hope you had a great Friday night! Mine was kinda uneventful but very fun. I just hung out with friends in their dorm and then called it an early night since I was tired for some reason?!
Breakfast this morning was eventful however ;) I mean how could a yogurt mess ever be uneventful? Let's be real! I had some Vanilla Brown Cow yogurt, Kashi Go Lean, sliced banana, and Teddie's peanut butter with milk on the side.
Ok so for some reason I must have been REALLY tired because after breakfast I went back to bed until nearly 2pm! I know crazy, right? I guess by the end of the school week I am in need of sleep.So after waking up I was not real hungry for lunch so I read some blogs in the meantime (obvs) then ate some lunch. I had a smoked turkey whole wheat wrap with swiss cheese, lettuce, and tomatoes.I also had a cold Red Delicious apple with unpictured pretzels and milk.
My afternoon was quite boring. All I want to do is go home in 3 days! It seems like the next few days are going to go by oh so slow. But I tried to keep myself busy this afternoon!
Dinner tonight is broiled chicken, mixed veggies, a dinner roll and Lactaid milk.
Well tonight I don't know what my friends and I have planned for the night but I am sure we will find something fun to do ;)
Do you usually make plans ahead of time or just go where the night takes you?!

Happy Friday!

Happy Friday!
Happy Friday! Happy Friday! Happy Friday! Woah! Can you tell I am happy this week is over?! This week absolutely flew by, at least I thought so. I am also very happy because I am going home in 4 DAYS! I have only been home once this semester during Columbus Day, over a month ago. That is a huge accomplishment since I am such a home body. It is going to be soo nice and such a reward going home.
So last night's BINGO was to say the least...a failure! I won nothing, nada, zilch! I didn't even come close to winning, oh well. It was a fun night with my friends :) It was perfect because it got out just in time for Grey's!
Breakfast this morning was a fab yogurt mess with Vanilla Brown Cow yogurt, Kashi Go Lean, sliced banana, and some Teddie's peanut butter with milk on the side.All mixed together :)
I am also excited to go home because I have lots of packages waiting for me as my mom keeps telling me :) I can't wait to open them all!Lunch was a turkey wrap with swiss cheese, lettuce and tomatoes on a whole wheat wrap...with a RED PEAR! Yeah that is right, I had a different fruit with my lunch. I know it is a really small change with my lunch, but it is a start right?! I must tell you I have only ever had yellow or green pear but never a red pear so I decided to give it a try and it did not disappoint! I thought it was still sweet but more tender than yellow or green pears. I also had pretzels and milk both unpictured.
I was so bored this afternoon but luckily I had a lacrosse meeting to keep me somewhat busy for awhile. If I have not already told you I always like to be doing something! I like to keep busy all the time although I love my down time to relax :)Dinner tonight was broiled chicken, mixed veggies, and a Harvest Oat roll with Lactaid milk. So the TWO topics being talked about today...NEW MOON and OPRAH!
Are you interested in either of these? Are you a Twilight or Oprah Fanatic?!

BINGO!

BINGO!

Yes that is right, tonight I am going to play BINGO! I am pretty sure my college is the only one who hosts Bingo, hah! But I must tell you I went last year as a freshman and it is a BIG deal. The prizes are redic, like iPods and Wii Fits, hollah! You can count me in. I love playing Bingo except for the fact that I have bad luck and I never win :( Perhaps tonight might be my lucky night? Wish me luck!
I don't have pics of my breakfast AND my lunch. I know, such a bad blogger :/ I will admit it today. But I have to tell you my roomie went to bed wicked early because she did not feel well and then this morning she felt worse. So she was still sleeping while I got ready for my morining classes and then when I got back from all of my classes for lunch she was still sleeping, so I could not really snap pics of my food. I wanted her to get some rest like the good roommate I am. She actually went to Health Services this morning and they are sending her home.
I just hope I won't get sick just in time for Thanksgiving! I will be febrezing, cleaning, and airing out my room later on tonight to get rid of all the germs! Oh and I will also be using lots of Purell, not that I don't use enough as it is ;)
So since I don't have pics of my breakfast and lunch I decided to give you a lilttle extra of my dinner pics to make up for my slacking!
Dinner was broiled chicken, carrots and green beans, a Harvest bun, and Lactaid milk.

Well I am leaving super early for Bingo to get a good seat with my friends! Ahh I can't wait! It is going to be so much fun. I am like a little old lady excited about Bingo! Hah.

But don't worry I will be back in time for Grey's tonight. I can't believe it is already Thursday night. This week definitely flew by. Anyone else with me?

Do you enjoy Bingo?!

Busy Bee

Busy Bee

Why hello everyone! I hope you all are having a fabulous Hump Day :) Mine was decent in case any of you were wondering, which I know you all were ;) It seemed like all day I was on the go, I was such a Busy Bee!

I enjoy Wednesday mornings because I acutally get to sleep in and not set an alarm the night before since I don't have to get up at a certain time for an appointment or class.

So after I woke up I showered and had some breakfast, Vanilla Brown Cow yogurt, Kashi Go Lean, sliced banana, and Teddie's pb all mixed up with milk on the side!
After breakfast I had two morning classes, grabbed an early lunch, had an appointment with Karen the therapist, went to the gym, and then listened to a guest speaker for extra credit for two of my classes! Whenever my professors offer extra credit I am all over it ;) So as you can see I was very busy today!
Dinner tonight was broiled chicken, 7 way blend vegetable blend, an artisan roll and Lactaid milk. Sorry for the quick post but I have been very busy and I have some studying to do later on tonight! Good night :) Have a great Hump night?!
Did your teachers/professors every offer extra credit in your classes?

An apple a day

An apple a day
Good evening! I hope ya had a terrific Tuesday and tomorrow is Hump Day :)
Breakfast this morning was another yogurt mess ;) Vanilla Brown Cow yogurt, Kashi Go Lean, and a sliced banana with Teddie's pb and milk. I did not snap a pic because the roomie was in the room and it was an early day, but ya get the picture!
Classes went well today and then I came back for some lunch. I had a turkey whole wheat wrap with pretzels and a cold Fuji apple. As you can tell I ate most of my pretzels before I took the pic, I always seem to munch on them while I am preparing my lunch ;)This afternoon I was kind of tired because I went to bed kind of late last night and then the roomie came back from the library and did some work and kind of woke me up, I am such a light sleeper. I will wake up to a pin drop!

Now something hit me today while I was eating lunch...I am kind of getting sick of eating an apple practically each day with my lunch. Can you believe I actually said that? I mean don't get me wrong I absolutely LOVE apples, but just not really as the weather is getting cold. I realized there are other ways of getting in my fruits each day besides an apple with my lunch, ya know what I mean? So this week I would like to try a new lunch!

This afternoon was rather unproductive as I layed down for way TOO long and got no work done and then I had lacrose practice. We did some sprints, lacrosse, and then we played soccer and my team won of course and I scored one of our teams' two goals ;) All of those years of playing soccer payed off and I got to show my soccer skills to my team ;)

I then came back to have dinner which was a mixed salad pea pods, mushrooms and onions, topped with broiled chicken and a huge wheat harvest dinner roll on the side with Lactaid milk.

Well I am now off for the night to watch THE BIGGEST LOSER! They are all getting makeovers and motivational speeches. I can't wait to see how they all look afterwards! I will also be watching The Hills and The City. As you can tell I love my t.v. shows, probably a little too much! But of course I will be studying and getting work done all night.
Do you have any ideas on a new lunch I should try? What is your favorite?
