I Hate School Sometimes.

Last night I had a much healthier salad than I had for lunch:

Herb salad mix with chorizo/lentil/carrot/mushroom mix, homemade guac (1/3 from a blend of 1 avocado with tomato, onion, and garlic), fresh chopped tomatoes, and a tiny blob of greek yogurt.

I felt much more cleansed after that! I also had 2/3 cup of low fat chocolate ice cream for dessert:

I have a self imposed deadline of finishing my first comprehensive exam TONIGHT, so I am a little haywire right now, and very tired and hating the topic of mathematics registers. Really.

After a terrible night of tossing and turning, I ate half a Luna and begrudgingly went to the gym.

• 15 minutes elliptical (was NOT feeling it today)
• 30 minutes bike (level 13) as I read for my seminar paper

I then rushed to the grocery store, munching on the rest of my Luna on the way:

I have a few interesting meals planned for this week, but mostly shopping was done around leftovers and frozen stuff we already have so that we don't waste much food.

I cooked some Annie's Mac and Cheese while I unpacked... I am seriously stressed out if all I want is mac and cheese out of a box!

As you can probably see, I have one big mexican themed meal coming up this week. I know it seems like we eat Mexican flared food a lot, but I think that is because when you cook at home, Mexican food involves a lot of fresh produce and spices... and I love fresh, HOT food! So, Mexican food is a big part of my diet, and I can't wait to prep what I am planning for Friday :-)

After I put everything away, I had a big bowl of Annie's:

And am currently locked in my room trying to finish this stupid paper. Wish me luck!
