6:30 AM:

PRE RUN WORKOUT SNACK:

CASHEW COOKIE LARABAR and plum

OMG! I thought i HATED this flavor but it's nothing short of awesome. Think of like an amazingly tasty shortbread cookie. It's got this buttery taste, but not like REAL buttery, just like a nice light, slightly nutty flavor that makes you ponder..HMMM what is that? and each bite melts on the tongue. The nut bits are tiny, but still you can chew them...as you ponder the deliciousness of the bar. The aroma of the warmed up bar wafts up like a warm cookie, you don't pick it up, too fearful it will break. So each tasty bite is eaten carefully with a fork, and a fingertip picks up the dropped nuts. Oh wow. It was like nutty, kinda banana-y and delicious. Totally awesome.

Then SCHOOL! TO RUN! and LIFT!
run:
18 times of 1 minute on 20 seconds off. Total distance traveled 2.37 miles. If you average all my splits: 7:38/mile.

wow. it got hard at the end. WHOOO EEEEEE
Then lifting:

3X15 pushups
5X 10 crunches, 10 double crunch, 10 reverse crunch
5X10 glute ham situps
4X7 each side side plank with row 17.5
5X10 ball pike
5X5 push press

then home to eat this (my stomach started growling during my workout! NOT COOL!!!!!!)

Yogurt, peach, kabocha, cabbage, milk.

Digested, then headed to LAVC to help out IMMENSELY IT WAS CRAZY the amount of work i had to do to rehab these athletes!

Left there at 2pm and then went immediately to UCLA flyaway to pick up my mom.

OKAY i know this was BAD but i sort of kinda didn't eat a real lunch?
I had:
celery in the car on the way there

got back at 3 pm. and ate this

a can of tuna, lonely kabocha, and unpictured- a cereal drink.

then i studied organic chemistry (hey, caitlin/healthy tipping point, wanna be my study buddy?) and then athletic training. watched barefoot contessa make the cheesiest mac and cheese (how can people eat cheese! my stomach hurts just watchin it!)

then dinner COURTESY OF MOMS! THANKS TH MOM

Tortilla, Milk, 5 pieces of pan fried basa fillets, and cauliflower. =D
it was gassy and delicious.
Now we're just chilling, and i'll record bones later. for my sister.

Whew! Let's hope i get some sleep tonight!

One of those days...

Wow. Today was ONE of those days

Treadmill walk, bike .

Study for test.

Eat 1.5? Cereal drink and run:

20 times of 10 second on, 5 seconds off. I am NOT a sprinter. Sigh..

Back to study for test and call sis to wake her up.

Then I prepared some food just in case I got hungry during or before the test:

4 egg whites. =D

Then I went to Valley HOURS before the test, and studied....COSMO and learned about guy body language. Too bad I wasn't getting tested on that. My stomach started growling, so then i went to the cafeteria and ate my egg whites. All while watching the clock. Then took the test. EW.

I hate testing.

Then! I went home to make this! I was hungry! Finally!

Yogurty mess of 1/2 cup yogurt, cinnamon, tiny plum, and kabocha. Half a celery stick.

Then I cleaned! and had a well deserved break from studying MCAT or AT.

And I read blogs. FUN TIMES =D

Next thing you know it, it's time for another meal.

I KNOW I KNOW it's the same, but i promise this is the last. I"m trying to eat up little bits and bobs in the fridge since I know i won't have to cook as much since my mom will be back tomorrow and cooking up a storm i bet.

So THBB. and Cabbage. Spicy goodness. Fueled an intense cleaning vacuuming session.....and a power nap of 2 hours. LOL.

Woke up, read more blogs, watched Barefoot Contessa, continued the cleaning rampage, and then made dinner:

CREATIVE!


Egg white (3) scramble that was supposed to be an omelette with napa and some cabbage, and kabocha. and milk. SOME HOW this was extra filling. I"m like SOO full! Could be because I am chewing gum right now. Oh well. Next time, I better not eat so fast! =/ I HATE feeling too full reminds me of the ED days. =(

Today was a day of rest, tomorrow is heavy lifting FOR THE FIRST TIME MY ABS ARE KINDA SORE!

=D

Oh D messaged me today at 8:33 am:
The Wooden (our gym) is empty without T -Lo ;t

and this is his prose in return to my macbeth:

Ahhhhhh, I like the prose from the rose that rises as does the phoenix. Tic toc who sees the clock not if one hears the tic toc of that clock.

=D

Happy wednesday!
Has anyone else experimented in the kitchen? I know i keep eating bean burritos, but when i dont want to eat (ED thoughts) i try to make things I would like. Sorry for the lack of excitement about my meals. I'm kinda stressing.

=(
