School has officially started!  There was something very satisfying about being a student today and not a teacher like the last two years.  Of course I’m sad that I can only take one course this semester, but I’m very happy to start chipping away at my long list of prerequisite requirements; I’m on my way!

I woke up around 7:30 today when Adam left for school and got to work creating my half marathon training schedule.  Then I had to actually implement it – I did 2miles on the treadmilll.  With warm up/cool down it was ultimately 2.3miles in 24minutes.  Afterwards I did abs (100reps) and stretching, bringing my total to 34minutes, 330calories.

I got a little behind schedule, so after a shower I had to rush to my hospital volunteering shift.  I’ll be doing 10-2 every Monday.  I walked to the bank on my way home, and at 2:40 I had yet to eat anything for the day.  I knew my first meal had to be something special.

I hated the flavor, but liked the texture of this PB Gnu Bar, so I knew it was the perfect way to add fiber to this bowl.

• Oikos Fat Free Plain Greek Yogurt
• 1.5t Crofter’s Organic Superfruit Asia Spread
• 1.5t TJ’s Sunbutter
• Peanut Butter Gnu Bar

The only problem now is that I want to eat this for every meal for the rest of my life!  The mix of sunbutter and greek yogurt truly might be the best thing on earth!

While I drooled over my bowl I got myself ready for the new school year – I printed out all the online materials, organized them and my Chemistry for Dummiesnotes into a binder, and made a google calendar of important assignment dates.  I finished up my work with a small plate of crackers and the last of the homemade french onion dip.

Adam was a sweetheart and drove me to my first class.  Mondays and Wednesdays class will be from 6:30-7:50, and on Thursday it’s 5:00-8:50.  The class seems ok so far, but I know it will be challenging for me.  The professor said that in order to achieve success most students study at least 7-10hours a week.

When we got home we took a walk to the post office and stopped at the gas station because my hormones have made me very angry that there’s been no candy in the house.  I stalked up and Adam bought an ice-cream Snickers.

He must be the nicest bear in the world, because he gave me a big bite!

For dinner I did leftovers and a quick salad.

I prefer noodles cold so I ate my portion straight from the container.  Note: I also ate 4big bites before I could manage to take a picture.

My salad was organic spring mix lettuce, Newman’s Own Asian Sesame Salad Spritzer, Newman’s Own Organic Dried Apples, and chunks of leftover party cheese.

To drink I had my plain Ooba sample.

We watched Bones while I ate and for dessert I tucked into my new candy stash – Sprees.

I realize this isn’t exactly a health food, but I do love that a whole package has less than 200calories.

Now it is a late late bedtime, clearly I have to skip tv time on class nights!  See you in the am.

Did you ever take chemistry?  How did you do?  I was a 4.0 student in high school until I took chemistry, so I am understandably a little freaked out!
