Study Sunday Funday

It was a gorgeous day in the 504 but sadly I spent little of the enjoying it...oh well, another one will come soon I'm sure :) Breakfast! I had some scrambled eggs with a little bit of cheddar cheese, strawberry yogurt with sliced almonds and potatoes.  I got a small bowl of pineapple and grapes too after they finally put out the fruit (the dining hall sadly isn't the most time efficient). 

After breakfast it was to the library (again) for some productive time.  It went a lot better today than yesterday, though I still feel gross generally...such unfortunate timing.  While there I had had some brain power fueled by a cute little banana.

The library has become a refuge for me, it's weirdly de-stressing for me and I'm able to get a lot done so I don't really mind spending so much time in it lately.  The life of a college kid ;) Lunch was late and all I wanted was soup.  Luckily they did have a vegetarian option and it sounded yummy-I love when things work out! It was corn and potato chowder and I paired it with a spinach salad topped with beets (!!!), tomatoes, and a little bit of chopped hard boiled eggs.

Some praline Blue Bell ice cream (so southern, right?) may have been devoured afterwards...I knocked out a bit more work then spent the lazing around, talking on the phone, pinteresting, and watching netflix.  A pretty good afternoon...I felt munchie so I had the last of my apples and some pretzels with a bit of white chocolate wonderful-love this stuff, so much.  It's almost time for a new jar. 

For a late dinner I had a veggie burger topped with honey mustard, on a whole wheat bun and surprise! a spinach salad.  This time with tomatoes, shredded mozzarella and beets.  Sorry for the rough picture, I was distracted and ready to dig in.

  My night has since been filled with a quick dorm meeting, and lots and lots of Myers-Briggs tests.  It has become the fascination of our floor for some reason? I love it though, they're weirdly accurate and it's very interesting to hear everyone's!  I'm an ENFJ, the same as Barack Obama! So proud...if only Michelle and I were the same.

Bleh.

That is how I've felt today.  And for the past week or two.  Just bleh.  Everything hurts, I keep getting nausea and dizzy spells, every once in a while I get random stomach cramps and my head feels heavy all the time.  And on top of that I feel exhausted for no particular reason and yet I can't sleep.  Bleh :(. I finally bit the bullet and went to the health center first thing this morning but they were utterly unhelpful.  Being sick at school is the worst.  Nothing makes me miss home more...Whatever, I'm dealing, shit happens-to the day's eats!  I met some friends at the dining hall for breakfast before I went to the health center.  Nothing sounded great so I went with some tried and true oatmeal. 

I mixed in brown sugar, raisins and half of a banana.  I also had the other half of my banana and a little bowl of plain scrambled eggs-yeah, my appetite is a strange one.  After I left the health center I vented to my Mom on the phone for a little bit (always helps!!) then grabbed my books and headed to the library to get some studying done.  While I was there I munched on some mini pretzels which in retrospect isn't the quietest for the library...oops!  I was havin trouble focusing so after a few hours I called it quits and went to the dining hall for lunch.

I forgot to take a picture but I had a grilled cheese sandwich, a small spinach salad with beets and grape tomatoes, and a bowl of grapes with some strawberry yogurt.  I hoped a power nap would help my head but instead I layed in bed for the afternoon on the internet and watching Greys Anatomy on Netflix because I couldn't fall asleep.  That's one of the worst feelings ever-just let me sleep please!!  I wasn't super hungry because of my lazy afternoon so i warmed up some soup in my microwave.  Canned soup has come in handy many a time since I've been here, it's a great staple to have. 

I paired it with a handful of whole wheat Ritz crackers.  Soup always tastes better in an elephant mug!  I'm keeping a low profile tonight, hoping I'll start feeling better and this mystery illness will pass.  Fingers crossed! Throughout the night I've snacked on an apple with Justin's honey peanut butter and some fruit gummies from Target (my guilty pleasure ;)). 

Good night world-here's to tomorrow!  Things always seem better in the morning right?

Hola Fitblr World!

Hi, my name's Erin :)  I'm a freshman in college studying Public Health and Latin American Studies at Tulane University in New Orleans! I've struggled with weight, disordered eating and stress in the past but I've found that nothing makes me feel better like a healthy lifestyle does.  Life in a dorm brings some challenges, especially because I'm a vegetarian (occasional pescatarian - this is NOLA after all!).  I'm just trying to balance class, work, friends, exercise and some yummy food (healthy or otherwise) and I'm always open to new ways to do so.  I've been a fitblr connoisseur for a few years now and decided to finally take the leap into making my own- hopefully someone will read it! From dining hall adventures to dorm microwave cooking I'll share my life as I try to navigate this crazy thing called college with some veggie love thrown in.  C'est la vie!
