I'm no nutrition expert, but I've heard the fat in avocados is really good for you! And I've had whole avocados many times, usually with hummus and crackers, so I also know they're delicious and hard to resist once you start eating ;) It's not like you ate a whole bunch of them, and it's only one day- you'll be just fine! Enjoy those yummy fats! |

honeybanana: Hey there- welcome :) And oh my goodness- you eat such delicious sounding food!! I'm totally trying that breakfast sometime ;) ciana and lowri: Welcome back you two! breakfast- 170g pot of coconut milk yogurt with cranberry-orange-pecan granola, an apple, coffee with some almond milk 40 minute walk with mom... got some good exercise today! after breakfast I didn't really have set meals, I just snacked throughout the day :P "studied" with a few friends- actually only a little bit of studying got done, but we had a lot of fun! of course that involved some snacks ;) late night snacks Decided I won't count calories, I'm already annoyed!! It's just difficult and inconvenient!! I'm usually within 1900-2300 anyway, so I should be fine :) |

I'm a sophomore and I'm also taking the AP European History Exam!! I'm soooo nervous. I have an amazing teacher who has taught us so well but I still feel so unprepared. I can't write that many essays in that short a time :| |

rose: Yay!! Yesterday definitely felt better too. I think I was just way too anxious/stressed that one day- I'm still nervous, but it's not affecting my appetite :) B: homemade carrot-pineapple muffin, a banana ~320 I'm just estimating for the muffins... gym class was awesome- he literally told us to do whatever so we walked for like 30 minutes, stood+talked for a while in the halls, then sat+did nothing for like 10 minutes ;) L: quaker instant oatmeal packet (raisin+spice), apple with 2 tbsp peanut butter 450 S: pretty big iced coffee made w/ soymilk, 1 more homemade carrot-pineapple muffin ~350 D: southwest Sunshine veggie burger on 2 slices wheat bread, 1/3 avocado, some tomato, spring greens 530 edit: had a 25g bar of 70% dark chocolate :) 160 S: a kiwi and blueberries ~90 So although I find calorie counting annoying, I might count for a little while just to make sure I stay on track. Today's eats will be around 1900, pretty solid :) I'll update any changes. |

peanutbuttercup: I think you're right :| Today was smaller than usual, I think the past few days were fine though. I was worried about huge tests and classwork today, maybe that's it? I honestly don't know, I didn't even realize... I tend to make up the calories later through snacks, but still- I know I should have had better meals. Thank you so much for pointing that out. I promise tomorrow will be much better!! |

Ah that's what I've always been so afraid of- them using my hand :| I remember my mom telling me that would hurt so much more, so I've never let them try, haha. glamgram: Oh goodness, haha I feel like they would tell me that and wouldn't be able to draw anything. Red Cross is probably coming to our school again next November, so I'll go down there and try anyway! I'm wondering if my veins are going to stay like this forever or not. Because that would be really inconvenient. It's such a hassle every time I need to get blood tested, and I'm really hoping they somehow magically expand O_O |

ciana: I just looked through your pictures, and girl you're so beautiful and cute! I realize I'm risking sounding really creepy with this comment, but I promise I'm not! So today me and like 10 other people went down by some train tracks and picked up trash. It was so sad to see how much people littered- we found tons of empty cups, plastic bags, candy wrappers, even a pregnancy test box O.o So anyways, happy earth day everyone, and keep the earth nice and clean! Ok enough ranting, here are today's eats ;) B: banana, 2 crescent rolls with olive oil and thyme Late lunch/dinner? at mom's friend's house:
S: Large soy latte.... so I ordered a small, but the owner of the cafe is a family friend and he gave me a large for free- he's such a sweetie! Hehe I enjoyed all of it ;) S: way too many tortilla chips and salsa (these chips are seriously way too addicting!) right before bed: 2 tbsp maple almond butter |
