Crunch Time, Snack Time, Time Flies!
Time always flies by, especially when its the last week of classes and we have three big-time projects due! I cannot believe I took on a speaking event at WakeMed for adolescents with scoliosis but I am so glad I did. The nutrition talk went really well and I think the girls enjoyed what I had to show them. They made these AWESOME yogurt parfaits with granola, all kinds of fresh and local berries and waffle sandwiches I recommended. I even heard one say that it was better than an ice cream sundae!
Here is a week recap of what I have been up to …
Body:
Monday-
Cycling at the Gym with Instructor Susan… It wasn’t the best class I have been to but I enjoyed the sweat!
Tuesday-
12 + hour work day at 2 jobs- I had a meeting that ran late too so I didn’t even get a break between aside from the drive from A to B.
Wednesday-

Thursday- I had to skip volleyball this week so that I could work on a group project showing how we can portion and improve the nutrition of macaroni and cheese! Here is one of those photos:

Soul:
It can be difficult as we fill our lives with work, work, work to balance everything. I know I am reaching my limit of taking on activities and work projects in the midst of school but I feel as though I am living a good life. I also know that in a week, my life is going to be alot less hectic so I will fully appreciate that time while it lasts! I am reconnecting with some old friends this week and this weekend and…. tomorrow is manicure time with one of them!
Dinner from work… The new Vintner Burger: Kobe Beef with Caramelized Onions, Blue Cheese, and a Red Wine Jam. I had steamed veggies as my side… It looks so unappealing but it was really, really, really tasty!
