Too Small to be Effective…
Soul:
One small step can have a multitude of ramifications. One step to being healthier can really make a difference on your attitude. What if you chose to eat one more serving of vegetables, chose one less beer to drink, exercised for 5 more minutes, took that phone call ? Sometimes when we look at all of the little things that we have chosen, we can get quite a wonderful big picture. You can change, you can make a difference, you can achieve your goals.
Let’s see I left you Friday so we will start with..
Saturday:
6 mile Hike around the Lake! Little did I know, there is another 3 mile (ish) trail around the other side of the lake I have been running at for 6 years! I had company this time, we ran a little for the normal loop and sprinted up the hills but then ventured over to the other loop and hiked.
Rest! I had so much school work- studying for an exam, career portfolio, etc. etc. I took my own advice and really planned my time ” study vocab for exam 9-10, prep portfolio 10-11, break 11-11:15…etc” and checked one thing off at a time. I finished all of it, studied everything, and felt completely prepared!
Monday:
Cycling at the gym!
Tuesday:
9+ hour work day = Rest Day from exercise
5 mile run in the morning at the gym.The weather has been absolutely gorgeous but today we had a cold/rainy front so I hopped on the treadmill.
Monday’s Exam in Medical Nutrition went *really well* fingers crossed, I have a good feeling but sometimes that is good and sometimes it leads to bigger dissapointment!
Monday I also had a project due that I will present in two weeks- We had to put together a career portfolio and I did a power point but it was mentioned that we could do a website. I was not happy at all with the quality of my power point and decided to throw together a site at the last minute just to see if I could do any better. I am so glad I did- I did not realize how many skills i have with “Website” development but after putting it all together, I feel very proud and excited to present.
My mock interview is all scripted and practiced ( check) … My counseling session outline will be finished this weekend (check check)… Tomorrow I will be working on a video about the Epidemiology of Lyme Disease ( check check check!~)
Let’s get to what has been fueling Being Healthier for all this work lately…
This weekend I was asked to attend a Baby Shower for some friends… They had Chicken Fingers and Mozzarella Sticks and Chips with Salsa..
I think I had two of each, chicken finger and mozzarella stick. They also had fabulous cake that I most definitely took a picture of, because so many people watched me and looked at it, I know I did. It is not in my gallery of photos though. So strange!
Monday I woke up very early to get crackin on work… Started my day with a fun little bowl:
Lunch on Monday was quick again to get to my exam etc…
PB&J and veg
Once I got to campus, I had a Pre-Exam surprise courtesy of our Professor:
Note to Self: Verify that Dark Chocolate makes Exam Scores Improve!
After the exam, I have two more classes back to back. In the last class of the day, I was starving but had not prepared myself properly. On our break, Sarah and I headed to the vending machine but I could not find a single thing that was worthwhile. Did you know that a bag of M&M’s in the vending machine now costs $1.35 ? Good thing my friend Sarah offered me an apple that she did not want! She is my hero!
After a pretty long day, I threw together a mix of tuna & cottage cheese, broccoli stir fry veggies on top of organic greens.
I packed a silly mess for lunch at work on Tuesday: Strawberry Yogurt, Cottage Cheese, lots of Fruit
And… that lasted me through lunch… ( A PB&J plus an unphotographed yogurt)
After class, I stopped by whole foods for some lovely dinner
