Hmmm. . . It's Wednesday and I finished my test.  I had a little celebration by eating some Jell-0 pudding.  I know I should have had yogurt, but the pudding just sounded really good.  I've got just a few minutes to post before I go out to run so I'll catch you up quickly.  I had oatmeal with, yes, hot chocolate and peanut butter.  I also had a cup of coffee, which was needed!  On call made me sad cause I got snacky around 11, so I really need to just go to bed earlier.  So yeah, didn't go to bed until 2 and therefore needed coffee at 7:00.  By lunch though I was hungry!  I had a turkey sandwich and an apple and of course, the pudding!  

My afternoon is a run, 12 miles again, and a meeting at 4:00.  I think I have some friends cooking dinner at 7:00.  I'll need to drink lots of water in order to make it until 7:00 though.  I guess we will see.

Alright, out the door

have  a good day

Ellie

Oh and I have bangs now, I've never posted a picture of myself, but I thought you might like to see the bangs!

Wet Dog

I was a wet dog today.  I did a 12 mile run, the whole thing in the rain!  I loved it though.  Something about the rain makes me feel like a spring flower, ready to bloom!  I had a "long" day with lots of class and doing work, but I'm also being a procrastinator!  I have a child psyc test in the a.m.  and although I spent a lot of time studying last night I still have a TON to get through.  I'm also on call tonight.  I almost always go to mass on Tuesday in or dorm, but I think I'll skip and do work tonight :(  I had a bowl of chicken tortilla soup for dinner after getting cold from the rain run.  I also had an egg white on a arnold sandwich thin and a teaspoon of PB and J (how I fend of cravings).  I finished it off with a tiny brownie (made by a resident) and a cup of hot chocolate that I'd been craving.  Seems like a lot of food (I guess that happens when you run 12 miles in the rain!  

Yum Yam

MMMMMMMMMM............. I had a Yam for dinner and can I say MMMMMMMMMMMM....  I got some casion salt and added that to the yam that I cooked on my George Forman.  I also had some yogurt and mulitply the cookie by two (hey it was SO good).  I'm off to our late night 10 pm mass.  I'm not actually sure how I'll stay up that late (11:00).  I'm so out of it, tired.  Anyway, I don't want Monday to start, I like my weekends.  I hope I can find a way to make them last longer someday.  Plus I have a test this week and I have to say, I don't want to study!!!

A look inside

I thought you might like to see what food I have in my room!  SO I took pictures!

Lunch?

I'm not sure if this counts as lunch but it turned out to be lunch.  I started getting really snacky around 10:30 for some reason.  I had an orange, a carrot, more than plenty cereal, a string cheese, and a pudding.  It's an odd lunch, but it's what my lunch turned out to be. 

I had an easy breakfast.  An easy bowl of shredded wheat and milk!  YUM

Poor Planing

Man, it was a day of poor planning as for eating, emotionally though, I'm a little back on track. Being back on track feels really good.  Thanks Cori!  She rocks.  I was snacking on shredded wheat so I didn't really feel hungry at lunch.  I grabbed an apple and went to the farmers market!!!  I also knew that the farmers market has AMAZING cookies so I wanted to make sure I had room in my calorie bank for one.  It was amazing.  I also bought flowers, daffodils are my favorite and they smell SO good.  I went to bread co. to study and got a little homework done!  However, I got SO hungry at 3:30 and didn't have a snack.  I went up to the desk and knew I needed more than a small cup of fruit.  I selected a chocolate chip muffie.  I've looked up the calories online and it's about 250 which I decided was a good amount.  I wish I had had a balance bar and I could have gotten some protein.  Anyway.  Cori and I had dinner together!  I had a broccoli bowl!!!!  It's white meat chicken, broccoli, and brown rice.  SO yummy and at 350 calories, plus protein and vitamins.  Anyway, I got some good sleep 

I now know!

OH MY GOSH Chobani is SO good.  I now know what I was missing out on.  It is SO yummy and 140 calories and get this 28% of your daily protein!  I also had a chewy granola bar and snacked on some frosted shredded wheat.  Oh and I had a cup of coffee.  I did a 10 mile run and then already cleaned my room and did my laundry.  Now I'm planning on hitting the farmers market and doing some homework at Bread co. *Panera.  I have a some homework to do today!  I'm hopping to also get some work done relax a little.  

Enjoy your Saturday!

ALSO I'm almost done with Gilmore Girls season 5 (crazy because I just started it).  I think I'll take a break and not start season 6 until Easter.  

Dinner with Lovely people

I got to have dinner with one of my closest friends, which was wonderful.  We had noodles!  I am not comfortable taking pictures yet in public places, so I'm posting the web page! 

it's noodles web page, I can't get it to copy.  SO I had the noodles Thai Curry Soup, it's about 500 calories, and was wonderful.  I also sucked down some grapes and strawberries!  And had a single girl scout cookie!

It's Friday afternoon, take a break

So It's Friday afternoon and I'm taking a break!  I had a rough hour or so, so I did errands!  I went to whole foods and picked up some things I've been wanting to try and some cereal *frosted shredded wheat is my favorite.  I also wanted to try to chobina greek yogurt and a synergy drink (good, kind of fermentation taste).  I also got some Strawberries for tonight with my CLC girls!  Yeah I can't wait.  While I was out I got a shirt to wear to my interviews and new running shoes.  I also got some running toe socks cause my toes have been rubbing together.  I'm gonna hit the road for a 10 miler and then come back and do a little reading!

It's Friday

Yeah It's Friday.  I'm not sure what is going on today, but at least it's Friday.  I really want to stay on track this weekend.  Also Note, I will have some dinner pictures, I need to work up the guts to take pictures of dinner cause now I have all of you!  I don't know what I want for lunch, but I'd like to hit whole foods up soon.  I kind of want some greek yogurt and a piece of bread or something!  I'm also thinking about upping my protein.  I read that 25% is the good amount to eat and I know I am way below that.  So anyway.  I actually got to eat my breakfast today!  It was what I wanted yesterday. But that is okay.  I had Oatmeal and a banana and some coffee!  Yum

What a day

Ofta, it's only 1:30 and I feel like my day has been a reck.  I'm really having trouble calming down after a resident, I'm an RA, got sick this morning and last night.  I've decided I will be very bad at this when I have my own kids.  SO I'm in a little bit of a frenzy.  

Some how, before my resident woke up I was able to do pilates for half an hour!!!!!! and take a shower!!!!!!!!!!!!!!    Breakfast got crammed in.  I was planning to slice my banana over some oatmeal, but because of my sick resident wasn't able to get that done.  So I grabbed a chewy granola bar and banana and ate as I ran to class.

Lunch was funny.  I couldn't think of anything to eat that didn't involve peanut butter so I ran over to the gas station and picked some up.  I did get a little snacky because of the frenzy.

Breakfast: chewy:110

Banana:110

Total:220

Lunch:  small PB and J 50

PB and Arnold sandwich slim  300

Apple  100
