2 Tests and 1 Quiz
Yes that's right your girl Jenna had 2 tests back to back (mind you one of them was a mid-term!) and then 1 quiz all this morning. So you could say I am very happy today is finally over and done with!To get me through the morning I knew I needed a nice breakfast to fuel me up. So of course I choose a yogurt mess with Vanilla Brown Cow yogurt, Kashi H2H, and sliced banana. What a perfect way to start my day!

After all of my tests and quizzes were done for the day it was a big sigh of relief. But the week is not going to get any easier. I still have a Biochmistry Test on Thursday and a paper due Friday.

Lunch was a smoked turkey wrap with swiss cheese, lettuce, and tomatoes along with pretzels and a juicy pear.

The rest of my afternoon was spent relaxing for a little while but the I got started on writing my paper. Ugh. Not exactly what I would like to be doing but it has to get done.

Dinner tonight was broiled chicken, BRUSSEL SPROUTS, and a country roll. Can you tell I love brussel sprouts? Well I do! I don't think I will ever get tired of eating veggies, which is a good thing! I love trying new veggies :)

Biggest Loser tonight? I think so!

Do you watch The Biggest Loser? Because I am pretty much upsest with it ;) Great show! I love Bob and Jillian.

Late Halloween Card
Good evening lovies! I hope everyone had a fab fun Halloween weekend and had a great start to their week today!

This morning consisted of eating breakfast which was Vanilla Brown Cow yogurt, Kashi Go Lean, and a sliced banana on top then followeed by an appointment with Karen which was okay.Then I checked my mail like I do everyday and I had a cute lil Halloween card waiting for me ;)

It was from my family wishing me a Happy Halloween! They are so cute, they all signed it, even my dog Bella, haha!

Dinner and lunch are unpictured today :( Yes, I know I am slacking at my job but I promise to step it up this week. Today was just one of those days. My lacrosse coach had a meeting with us tonight telling us that she resigned, which was a total shock to all of us. Then I did 50 minutes on the elliptical while studying. Doing two things at once, that is how I roll ;)

Well I am off to study the night away since I have two tests tomorrow. But a much needed distraction will be involved. Can you say Gossip Girl :)

Do you like to study watching tv or listening to music?

Novemeber 1st

November 1st

Can you believe it is already November 1st? The month of October flew by! Although it was a fun month with Halloween and all, I am happy November has finally arrived because that means it is closer to THANKSGIVING and CHRISTMAS :) Anyone else as excited as I am?!
I hope you all had a very fun Halloween night! Mine was good despite the fact that the weather was lousy :( I did have fun but then me and my girl Carly called it a night and decided to snuggle up and watch a movie. I crashed in her room since her roomie went home and then we grabbed breakfast this morning.

Breakfast was Black Cherry Stonyfield yogurt, Kashi H2H with a sliced banana on top with a glass of milk on the side. I normally don't eat breakfast in the caf, I usually always have it in my room so it was nice to eat breakfast in the caf for a change with my friends.

Thanks for the handy dandy cell phone for the pic. Last week I just figured out I can e-mail pictures from my phone to my laptop! It was a very exciting moment. So now I will be able to capture more of my eats when I forget my camera or when I feel awkward taking pictures of my food with my camera!

After breakfast the first thing I did was take a shower and I felt so much better since I slept in my Halloween costume last night. Whoops! I thought I was going to need a nap today but after showering I felt awake and decided to get workin' on that homework of mine considering I have three tests this week!

I did a little work then went to the mall with some friends and then came back for some lunch...and more homework. No, I didn't not go shopping. We just went because one of my friends' phone broke because he spilt beer on it and because I needed ink for my printer!

Lunch was a smoked turkey whole wheat wrap with swiss cheese, lettuce, and tomatoes with pretzels and a juicy pear (I already bit into!)

Although this afternoon I did manage to rest and 27 DRESSES!

Dinner tonight for me was broiled chicken, peas & carrots, and an artisan roll. While the rest of my family is celebrating October birthdays at my cousins house and having a nice home cooked meal :( This makes me a bit sad and I wish I could be there with them!

Does anyone ever miss their family while away at college like me?

Happy Halloween

Happy Halloween
Good evening everyone! I hope you have had a great Halloween day thus far and it only continues to get better tonight! I just realized that this is my first holiday blogging since I started my blog this summer. Yeah :)

This is my lil dog Bella! Isn't she so cute dressed up in her Halloween costume and bow?! She says HAPPY HALLOWEEN :)

To start off my Halloween morning I had a yogurt mess with Vanilla Brown Cow yogurt, Kashi Go Lean, and a sliced banana! I know it is not very Halloween spiritied but I don't really have any Pumpkin foods in my dorm room.

My dad came up to visit me this afternoon and to watch the football game! It was nice to see him and spent time together :) He brought me up a bag of stuff (like my CAMERA!!!) and slipt me some mulah ;) Love when he visits. Yes, I finally have my OWN camera back and I can now give my friend's camera back to her. I am so thankful to have such nice friends and I am so excited I have my camera back! Even though my college team was winning the whole entire game...they ended up losing :( But it was a good game!Dinner tonight was broiled chicken, mixed viggies, and an artisan dinner roll.

Well I am off to get ready for Halloween festivities round two! Tonight I will be rockin' the black cat again because I absolutely love my costume! My friends are all being different colored M & M's, I could be one with them tonight since they got me a shirt but I love by cat, it is so cute!

What is everyone being for Halloween? I wanna know :)

Not so good oats

Not so good oats
I must admit I am have not master making oats yet :( So I need all the suggestions I can get. I have only made oatmeal once before and it was kind of an experimental trial, they tasted alright but were just a little bland.
But this morning when I made oatmeal I didn't even want to finish it, that's how bad it was :( I was very disappointed! I mixed a packet of Original Quaker oats, 2/3 cup water with 1 sliced Granny smith apple.
I put it into the microwave for a minute and a half and it came out like this...very soupy and not how I expected.I added a little Teddie's peanut butter to give it some more flavor but it was still very bland and had NO yummy taste whatsoever. This was the worst breakfast I have had in a long time. I think tomorrow I will be sticking to my yogurt mess which I know will be yummy. But I am still very willing to try more oatmeal mixes. So if you have any yummy recipes for oatmeal, send 'em on over to me ;)

But to make up for my yucky breakfast I only had one class this morning and then went out with my girlfriends to finally get Halloween costumes. Yeah I know I told you the other day we were gonna be robbers but I don't think we are doing that anymore, maybe tomorrow night. But tonight I am going to be a CAT!

Lunch this afternoon was a smoked turkey whole wheat wrap with swiss cheese, lettuce, and tomatoes, with pretzels and a Red pear!I am officially on a pear-kick if you can't tell! I tried a RED pear today and I couldn't really tell you the difference between that and a green pear. But they are both juicy yummy
Dinner was broiled chicken, veggie blend, and an artisan roll. Look at all the veggies, I love it!

Well since tonight is Halloween Eve I am off to celebrate! Hope you all have a great Friday!

Are you celebrating Halloween both nights this weekend like me?

Mix My Granola

Mix My Granola
Yeah Friday is tomorrow and Halloween is Saturday! Oh so close to the weekend :) I hope your day was well today.
This morning I woke up, showered and ate breakfast while checking my e-mails, blog, facebook, etc, the usual ;) Good thing I did check my e-mail because my sociology professor sent us an e-mail earlier this morning letting us know she cancelled class because her son got sick last night...score! I mean I hope her soon feels better but I was happy to hear I didn't have an 8:30 class.
My yogurt mess had Vanilla Brown Cow yogurt, Kashi Go Lean, a sliced banana, and a lil bit of Teddie's pb all mixed together :)

After my two classes I checked my mail (like I do everyday) because I love getting packages and letters! Today I had a package but I knew what it was, but I was still exctied about it!

A few weeks back I won the giveaway from Nutricious is Delicious, and I finally got around to ordering some!

I received a $10 giftcard for winning the giveaway. I picked the low fat cranberry granola with almonds, cranberries, and a hint of coconut.

Jenna's Granola Mix...creative name, right?! It took me so long to come up with.
Ingredients: Low-Fat Granola and Lots of LOVE <3

Lunch was a different kind of turkey today, it was very dry and much different from the usual smoked turkey I get each day. Although it was very good I had no problem with it. I had a turkey whole wheat wrap with swiss cheese, lettuce, and tomatoes with pretzels and a juicy pear with milk. I really enjoy pears and I miss eating them, so you might be seeing more of them on the blog ;) The last time I had a pear was in my yogurt mess a few weeks back, but today I got to enjoy each juicy bite.


This afternoon I ran a few errands with my friend Carly and then met with my tutor for my Biochemistry class. It is not that I am doing poor in the class but I just want to keep on top of everything so I can be very successful in the class!
Before dinner I decided to go work out at the gym. I busted out 40 minutes on the elliptical and it felt great. After working out I quickly showered and then ate my delicious dinner that was waiting for me, broiled chicken, green beans & carrots, and a dinner roll. The caf guy didn't skimp on the veggies at all. I am now getting to know which caf servers to go to ;)
Since today was a very busy day I am going to take it easy tonight and watch Grey's!!
Has anyone tried Mix My Granola?!

Autumn-y colors


Happy Humpday everyone! Today has been nothing but RAIN. It hasn't stopped all day. So after my two morning classes today was spent doing lots of homework on this rainy day. But I can't complain because I did get a lot of work done, so I was happy ;)
Lunch was a roasted turkey whole wheat wrap with swiss cheese, lettuce, and tomatoes with pretzels, a Red Delicious and milk.All I could think of when I looked at my dinner was the color there was. It just reminded me of autumn-y colors! There is lots of browns with reds and yellows just like leaves. Anyone else with me?!

I have all my food groups in my dinner... protein, grain, and veggies. Check check and check! I have noticed my blogs have become quite shorter and boring recently but I just have been soo busy with school and such. Soooo to change this PROBLEMO, my goal for this upcoming week is to spice up mahh blog! Everyone else with me? Good :)

Do you try to have all your major food groups in each meal of the day?
