A Grad Student's Journey Toward Healthy Eating

Chewy Fudge Brownies December 6, 2011

Filed under: Desserts — Maria @ 7:21 pm

Today I made Duncan Hines chewy fudge brownies. As part of the Foodbuzz Tastemaker Program, I received free coupons from Duncan Hines to try any of their products. I am a huge brownie queen and these did not disappoint! Honestly, I made brownies from scratch a few months ago and I really like these better. I think everyone enjoys a good brownie (except the boyfriend.. but he doesn’t count here). I will bring these to school tomorrow since it is dangerous to have something I love so much around the apartment, especially when I am trying to eat healthy and exercise more. I didn’t get to the chance today because my computer got a virus and I spent 3 hours on the phone with my brother trying to get rid of it. Thankfully my brother is amazing and it was successful. Back and better than ever. Love you bro :)

 

Turkey Sandwich, Carrots, Hummus, Strawberries, Almonds

Filed under: Lunch — Maria @ 8:07 am

For lunch today I packed an oven roasted turkey sandwich on toasted whole wheat bread, cocoa roast almonds, baby carrots, garlic hummus, and fresh strawberries. Yesterday I was a little bit hungry in the afternoon so I threw some almonds in today to hopefully satisfy that little craving. I didn’t make it to the gym yesterday but I did go for a walk for 75 minutes so that at least got me moving a little bit. It was sooo nice out. I seriously cannot even believe it is December with this weather. Christmas is in a little less than 3 weeks. How is that possible? I feel like I just started PA school back in June and I am already halfway through my first didactic year. I wish that the school part would go a little faster and the life part would slow down. If only ha! Alright I must do some dishes before heading to school. Toodles!

 

Pineapple Greek Yogurt, Grapefruit

Filed under: Breakfast — Maria @ 8:02 am

This morning for breakfast I am having a Chobani pineapple Greek yogurt with half of a grapefruit. I am still absolutely loving the grapefruit. I really might buy like 5 this week at the store and eat them all. Today I don’t have class until 9am and go until 3pm. It is probably my ideal day. I always feel like 8am is sooo much earlier than 9am and as expected I prefer to get out of school while it is still light out. We have some activity today where we have to learn how to research in the library for our big research project. We had to create two accounts for programs and I hope I did them. I know I did one a while back, but I forget about the other one so I will have to check when I get to school. Hopefully it won’t be a bad day minus the mounds of EENT studying I have to do when I get home ha. Ok, time to share my lunch.
