Whew, I am tired. I didn’t stay up that late last night, but for some reason I woke up super early and couldn’t fall back asleep. I had an all day training for my animal emergency response certification, so I decided to just get a little run in since I was up. In terms of my ankle, I’m totally fine to do 1 run a week; any more and it seems to get a little sore. I did 2 miles to start the day.

Breakfast:

The last of my Easter eggs! This breakfast has been on repeat this past week and I’ve really enjoyed it! I actually basically ran out of bread and am most of the way through my freezer supply as a result. Which is probably good, the freezer stuff has been there a while!

Lunch:

I picked up a Trader Joe’s salad to bring to my training, plus some crackers.

Snacks:

A bar, plus a couple of pieces of dried fruit, and some cheese puffs. The fruit is from my favorite produce stand ever. I went after my training, and got my $0.69 a pound zucchinis. Even more exciting? Now they’re the big ones! Lately they’ve just been little ones!

Dinner:

I got this BEAUTIFUL tomato from the produce stand. I’m not a huge tomato person, but I do like heirlooms. This was so good I was eating slices of it while preparing my salad! The salad had Trader Joe’s new green goddess dressing, and I like it! It tastes very fresh and summery. I also had a chicken tamale from the produce stand.

Dessert:

1 small cinnamon cookie and a sunbutter cup!

Later that evening, I went to a fundraiser for a vet school organization at a brewery and got a milk stout.

I also had a chocolate cupcake. I was in bed before 10. So…post-neuro celebration? I’m just tired!

Today I had my “mini-rotation,” which is where I shadow a 4th year vet student in their clinical rotations in the teaching hospital. I was on community medicine, which is basically the equivalent of general practice.

Breakfast:

The tiniest piece of GF toast from the freezer with hard boiled eggs and a mango.

Lunch:

I’m never sure how fridge access will be on rotations so I usually pack something that doesn’t require refrigeration. I made a sunbutter and apricot jam sandwich, with snap peas on the side.

Snack:

I had this far earlier in the afternoon than I should have because I was starving by the end of the day!

Dinner:

Immediately upon arriving home, I had a serving of these.

I WAS going to make something interesting and different for dinner, but my zucchinis apparently went bad, so all I really had stuff for was my cheeseburger salad.

Dessert:

Greek yogurt bar and piece of chocolate.

Snack:

And of course…bonus Jackson pictures!

I survived my Neuro final! Well, final 1 of 3. I have 2 anatomy Neuro finals on Friday, but hey, I’ll take what I can get. Shall we do another full day of eating? In doing these, I’m reminded why I stopped doing them all the time…they can be sort of repetitive. Guess what I ate today? Salads with leftover ground turkey. It’s normal for me to eat the same meal multiple times a week, or similar meals with repurposed ingredients. This week, that meant ground turkey and hard boiled eggs! Allll the protein!

Breakfast:

Hard boiled egg+ white white on GF toast with a mango.

Mid-morning, I went to Crossfit for a little study break sweat. My new washer and dryer were supposed to be delivered today so I had the joy of freaking out about whether or not they would fit throughout he door…long story short, they cancelled the delivery today and I think they’ll fit by a few millimeters. So we’ll see. My test wasn’t until 2 pm, so that allowed for plenty of studying in the morning!

Lunch:

Salad with ground turkey, creamy goat cheese, a pear, gluten free crackers, and a side of neuro pathways.

Pre-exam snack:

Post-exam snack:

Dinner:

Another cheeseburger salad. I actually measured the meat this time because as I learned, it’s easy to give yourself a LARGE portion of ground turkey, and after my previous cheeseburger salad on Monday, I was so full! Cheese puffs on the side to celebrate the end of the exam, I suppose!

Dessert:

Evening snack:

I packed a sunbutter and jam sandwich for lunch tomorrow, so I snacked on the heel of the bread with jam and sunbutter. Plus a bite of my Easter candy.

And that should be it! After my exam, I went to look at our sheep brains to study and when I was done, I saw that not only was the Giants game on, but it was going well! So that’s what I’m up to now!
