It’s Official

14 Dec

It’s official! I am done with this semester. It was a lot more difficult than I thought it was going to be. It took me too long to figure out how to stay organized with everything, but I finally got the hang of it (um yeah, towards the very end).

I ate breakfast while cramming Smile I had the last Vitatop Sandwich – even with a bad review I wasn’t going to let it go to waste.

At school the student government was giving away free donuts and coffee! How cool is that?! Plus they had scantrons for free too. Very nice.

But, I didn’t see this until after my test and I was determined to go on a run right after my final. So, I had to decline a donut and get on the road.

I pounded out 5 miles in my favorite neighborhood by my school. Ben used to live right around the corner and I would run here all the time. There are good memories here Smile

I felt pretty sore and tight, but my mind relaxed and I had some much needed quiet time with my thoughts.

It’s official I found my new favorite bar! I tried this new to me Atkins bar post run. Loved it. I’m trying to up my protein, and even though this isn’t the cleanest way to do it, it’s the yummiest!

I think it’s pretty much official that I am willing to put anything on top of a bed of lettuce and call it a salad. Lunch was a big bowl of salad mix topped with pico de gallo, light ranch and leftover 3 layer casserole. So good.

I’m official – my bio is up on the Fitbloggin website! You can check it out here.

It’s official, I am behind on Christmas shopping! Okay, to put it more clearly – I haven’t done any Christmas shopping at all! I better get on it.

    I hated paying for scantrons in college. IT already sucks having to take tests, but I have to PAY for them too? Ugh, so annoying.

    I love putting leftovers on top of salad – I get strange looks from my co-workers sometimes, but it’s delicious! 🙂

    Yes – Yikes! I’m in the same boat with the X-mas shopping (or lack, thereof). Things have been so crazy I just haven’t had a spare second to myself to even THINK about shopping…much less to actually get out and DO the shopping! Ugh!
