super quick post

Cause I have lots of homework to do!

Today was an eaaaaarly day so I just grabbed a quick breakfast for the road.  (I had to eat really light because we eat in food prep lab after we get done cooking our “experiments.  Just a few bites of each thing).

Clif Z bar, giganto peach, and a laaarge cup of coffee(cowboy blend from Tiger Farms Market, which is a really neat gas station/health food store that just happens to be on my way to school)  When you’re on the road at 6 am this is a necessity!

Today in food prep lab we worked with fats.  Which basically meant frying and emulsions.  It was way fun BUT my face has been oily all day from all the grease and I smelled like the food section of the state fair all day long.  I smelled like a funnel cake!  My group made donuts,and fried zucchini with sunflower oil.  Other groups also made donuts with peanut, canola, and vegetable oils.  We were supposed to figure out the difference in taste between the different types of oils.  Luckily my partners did all of that for me because I volunteered to man the fryer.  So I got to copy all of their answers and didn’t have to consume many calories.  Sweet!

Then I was off to Dallas to see my brother.  He’s working at the clinic because he’s getting close to graduating from Chiropractic school.  It’s kindof like an internship I guess.  Anyhoo, I went to see him.  There wasn’t any time for actually getting any sort of adjustment because they have to do lots of tests and take lots of info first, but I’m going to go back next week.  I’ve been having a lot of problems with my tendonitis lately so hopefully I can get some relief soon!

Then back to school, with a stop for yogurt on the way!!!

I heart this place!

I got cookies and cream yogurt with a little sprinkle of oreos, coconut, strawberries and kiwi.  DELISH!  The best thing is that it’s only 90 cals and zero grams fat/serving- yay!  Oh and it DOESN’T taste fat free!

Then on to Intro to Nutrition.  We talked about diarrhea, constipation, and gas today.  Awesome!  Needless to say there was lots of giggling in class today.  The instructor thought it was funny that we were giggling so much. 

On that note, I think that’s all I’ll say about class!  On the way home I stopped by the gym and hopped on the treadmill.  I’m going to do the Race for the Cure 5K in October!

Then to the house for dinner.  I made a quick little frittata with squash and goat cheese.  Served with some crusty whole wheat bread. Yum!

Oh and a glass of this!  Sent to me by Foodbuzz- thanks dudes.  And it’s from a box, but it’s DELISH!!  I will definitely be buying more of this when I run out.  YUM!
