Getting Things Back Together

So, I need to get my life back on track. Get back to school work, and also get back to my old eating habits. I'm making up a plan for the rest of November until I go back home on December 10th for my winter break.

Eating: Mostly fruits and vegetables. I'm running out of money so either 1 egg for breakfast or some fruit. Lunch will be salads, for the rest of this week I'll probably make sandwiches until I can buy more food. Dinners will be low calorie options like beans and corn, or frozen veggies. Snacks will be things like 100 calorie popcorn or fruit or a little bit of cheese.

Exercise: Try going back to the gym twice a week. Wednesdays from 2-230 and Fridays from 11-1130. Also, work on doing ab-ripper twice a week.

School: Study extra every day. Go to every class. I need to stay on top of things before finals. Study mostly chemistry and anatomy.

Ramblings

     So, I've been doing pretty good with cutting out snacking lately and I'm very proud of that. I think it's because I have to buy my own groceries and I only buy healthy stuff to snack on.
     I'm working on creating different eating plans for myself. I need frequent snacks because I have class form 8AM until 7PM and that's a long day. Sometimes I don't have time to come back to my dorm and make lunch. I've made my daily calorie limit 886, which I've calculated should allow me to lose 1-1.5lbs a week. Plus, I can still eat. And once I lose more weight, I will just recalculate this number and adjust.
     School is going great. I'm so happy. My teachers aren't that great. Lots of thick accents and getting off track. But, this semester I'm actually really excited about what I'm learning, so when I do readings and homeworks it's not super boring.
     I'm taking Anatomy and Physiology [but it's mostly physiology], Electrical Circuit Analysis and Design [basically circuit 1 & 2], C++ Programming, Chemistry [again because I failed last year], and Technical Communications [public speaking and technical writing]. It's a challenge, but I'm feeling really positive about this year. Although the class time isn't that much fun, I do enjoy learning so much.
     I'm such a nerd.
     Well anyways, sorry for this super boring post. I'm off to do a "learn how to use a microscope" lab. For the 4th time in my life. -__-
