Election Eve

Today was a super productive day! I spent an hour at the gym this morning multitasking. Working out and studying at the same time. I found this amazing way to study while working out. Itunes U!. This is especially helpful for my biochemistry of nutrition class. I just search for topics that we are covering and can listen to lectures for free while I'm at the gym or out for a walk. This is going to come in very handy for the next two years. Notecards are also easy to go through while doing a cardio machine. For lunch today I was super hungry and didn't want to be snacking all afternoon like yesterday.

I had a smoothie: 

1 cup almond milk

1 cup frozen cherries

1 banana

4 cups spinach

Plain greek yogurt w/pom seeds and 1 tablespoon peanut butter

 1 slice organic cheese and Applegate Farms organic salami

The afternoon was spent tackling the to do list and getting more studying done. I had calls to make, laundry and cleaning to do and a lesson that I'm teaching Wednesday to prepare for. 

Dinner was simple. I made some kale chips for a green vegetable!

And leftover beef stew with veggies to warm me up!

And of course some Vitamin C for dessert! These are my favorite. 

My goals for this week are to:

1- aim for 10 servings of fruit and vegetables combine each day

2- To get in exercise each day this week even if its just a 30 min walk because I won't have time this weekend with class 

3- Drink enough water (getting much better than this) 

Don't forget to vote tomorrow everyone. It is super important. 

Coconut flour pancakes are on the menu for breakfast so stay tuned.
