Whatcha eating today? Wednesday, 12/7/2016
First day in the entire term that I could sleep in and not feel guilty for wasting time. It did come at the cost of missing fitness classes, but I'm 100% okay with that. I've been running on empty for many weeks now and really needed the rest.
In other news, I aced my Anatomy & Physiology exam last night! So I have secured As in lecture and lab for the term. HUGE relief since I felt like I was completely not cut out for this A&P stuff after a horrible Intro A&P class last term.
1: protein shake and pumpkin muffin
2: smoked salmon
3: grilled filet mignon, herb butter, brussels sprouts gratin
liquid and vites: on track
exercise: lolz!
How about you?

Congrats on acing your test. Good work.

Breakfast - salmon
Lunch - Dijon lime chicken
dinner - buffalo chicken casserole
I registered for a Spanish immersion class in Seville Spain for this Spring. 6 weeks of Spanish immersion should help my studies! I'm so excited, and I'm so proud of myself to be doing this on my own. I never had the courage to travel on my own in my youth, but its never too late.
It will be an adventure - and I sorely need an adventure now.
Have a good Wednesday, everyone.

I follow a ketogenic diet post-op. I also have a diagnosis of binge eating disorder. Feel free to ask me about either!
