Birthday Full Day of Eating

Date: May 4, 2018

Author: astottler

Yesterday was my birthday! It was definitely a good one! I celebrated with my family a little last weekend:

But yesterday was the actual day. I also had a super nice class schedule and only had a few hours of class! I figured, what better way to celebrate than a full day of eating?

Breakfast:

Birthday pear from my parents (amazing) and a flapjacked muffin.

Lunch:

Salad with chicken, pear, goat cheese, and crackers.

Bonus selfie with Jackson:

Snack:

One of my friends made me GF cupcakes, which was so nice because I rarely get to eat cake! Not a bad way to spice up lecture either!

Snack 2 was a bar.

Dinner:

My friends took me out to dinner, and it was such a nice night. I of course had to have a beer.

And then I got a salad with bleu cheese, currants, and grilled chicken.

And of course I finished the evening with more cupcakes.

Full Day of Eating: The End of Neuro!

I survived Neuro! Today we had 2 anatomy exams, one on the anatomy of the brain and the other on the structures around the brain and in the head. Let’s just say that I am tired! Today’s schedule was a little different since I just had 2 random exams during the day, so let’s check it out!

Pre-workout:

Apple cinnamon Cheerios. My usual pre-Crossfit.

For some reason I was actually STARVING during Crossfit today. Huh. Crossfit was fun today. The workout was an AMRAP of pull ups, sit ups, and squats. I have various aches and pains right now so I’ve been avoiding some of the heavy days. but luckily this week has been more skill and less weight heavy!

Breakfast:

You know, it’s funny. I almost never eat hard boiled eggs, except that one week of the year when I eat massive amounts of them. Blue are my favorite!

1 egg+1 egg white on GF toast with a mango.

Lunch:

Salad with a hard boiled egg+1 egg white, hummus, creamy goat cheese, and champagne vinaigrette. A few GF crackers on the side.

Snack:

Between exams after I finished studying, I relaxed with some Netflix to give my mind a rest! I had a bar and a square of chocolate.

Pre-Dinner:

I went to Trader Joe’s and found these Churro bites. They are GOOD.

Then I settled down with a beer, a kitten, and Modern Family. Ahh. I knew I was getting drinks with friends later in the evening but I couldn’t wait! This was a lighter beer which normally isn’t my favorite, but it was good for early evening!

Dinner:

Keeping it simple. Salad with guacamole, cheese, deli turkey, and ketchup. With cheese puffs.

Dessert:

Flourless chocolate chip banana bread from the freezer.

In the evening we went out for beer.

And before bed I had a handful of Cheerios.

Full Day of Eating: Before a Test

I’m back with another full day of eating! Tomorrow is my Neuro final so we’ll make this quick!

Breakfast:

Half a container of blackberry yogurt with vanilla cereal and sunbutter, plus a mango.

When I got to school, they had a free breakfast provided. Since I’ve been feeling pretty good lately, I decided to have the top of a chocolate donut.

Post-workout:

We had an early lab this morning, and a gap between class so I spent some time on the spin bike. As a post-workout, pre-lunch snack, I had some dried fruit.

Lunch:

Salad with pear and goat cheese, and hard boiled eggs on the side! I had some of the crackers while making lunch.

I also had half of a chocolate marshmallow egg for dessert.

Snack:

Pineapple

Dinner:

Some cracker while cooking and this salad:

It was supposed to be vaguely Greek, but I realized I didn’t really have any ingredients other than hummus to make it so! Leftover turkey, hummus, creamy goat cheese, and champagne vinaigrette.

Dessert:

Parfait with apricot jam, persimmon bread from the freezer, and vanilla pudding. Super random, but delicious! I’m seeking out more cold desserts now that the weather is warmer!

Snack:

Nugo bar

Back to studying…wish me luck!

Full Day of Eating: First Time Cooking Meat in….

Welcome back to another full day of eating!

Preworkout:

Apple Cinnamon Cheerios

The workout was Crossfit. It involved lots of double unders!

Breakfast:

Crackers eaten while packing lunch, protein shake drunk in class. Crossfit mornings can be a mad dash to get to class.

Snack/lunch dessert:

In vet school, clubs often hold fundraiser bake sales. There are rarely GF options, so if there are any, I jump at them! This was a butterscotch bar with butterscotch and chocolate chips.

Lunch:

Salad with hummus, goat cheese, and of course hard boiled eggs. GF crackers on the side.

Snack:

GF toast with fancy brie and apricot jam. This was a good combo!

Dinner:

I made a cheeseburger salad with half a baked sweet potato. For the meat, I added chopped celery to the ground turkey. I actually don’t think I’ve cooked meat all year…so this was a big step! I seasoned it with basically everything in my spice cabinet. Topped with cheese and a drizzle of ketchup for good measure.

Dessert:

Mint Halo Top with whipped cream. And then a piece of Easter candy.

FDOE/ Easter 2018

I hope everyone had a fantastic Easter! I’m going to do a quick recap of mine, continuing with the full day of eating theme.

I started my morning with a blueberry flapjacked muffin and a mango.

I spent the morning studying before heading outside to the park for a workout. I did a Nike Training Club workout, and then a sprint/agility workout that I had saved on my phone from years ago. The weather was perfect to head outside!

When I got back, I had a super light lunch of egg whites, spinach, and garlic and herb laughing cow with some peach Cheerios.

I have 3 Neuro finals this week so coming home for Easter wasn’t plausible. My parents were nice enough to come up to me, and we went out to Easter “brunch” with some of my friends. They also brought me Easter eggs!
