desperado

I am so thankful that I am in college. Today, as I was walking to my class on Mass Violence, I felt as though I were in a dream….a fantasyland of sorts. “Pinch me!” I thought, “I can’t believe that I am really here, at college, on my own, taking the classes I want to, and having a great time.” I also had breakfast for the first time in ages, since today I woke up at 10am and figured that there was no way I could hold out until 12 without eating something (or worse, overeating during lunch).

Daily Diet:

Breakfast: 1 Kashi TLC Trail Mix Bar (140)

Lunch: 1 Boca Burger (130), Green Beans (70), a few Asian-Style Veggies (100), 1 small salad with fat-free Thousand Island (100)

Snack: 1 bag of Popchips “Original” (120), Gum, 1 Kashi TLC Trail Mix Bar (140)

Dinner: 1 Boca Burger (130), 1/2 Apple (60), 1 small salad with fat-free Thousand Island (100), 1 Vanilla Cake Cone Fro-yo (200), 1 “Elevate Me” Powerbar (240), 1 Kashi TLC Trail Mix Bar (140)

Exercise: Elliptical for 30 minutes (-200), weights, abs

Estimated Caloric Intake: 1,550

Room For Improvement: Branching out my foods! The dining hall food is not exactly appetizing, so I end up eating the same thing everyday: salads and Boca burgers and Kashi bars, oh my! : ) But I don’t really mind, since the stuff I eat is probably some of the healthiest foods offered in the dining hall. The only problem is that sooner or later I am going to run out of my Kashi bars and I haven’t yet found the time to go to Safeway to restock!
