I survived the first two days of classes! Monday wasn’t as bad as I expected (the night class was a little on the long side, but the professor said the material will be more interesting next week.. fingers crossed!) And Tuesday was…. difficult, but the classes weren’t that bad. Bonus? I have NO classes on Wednesday AND Friday. Sweet Jesus, I’m happy about that! I jammed a lot of classes in on Tuesdays and Thursdays, plus an early morning lab and night class on Monday to get that schedule, but I still think it’s pretty kick ass. Waking up at 7:00 on T/Th and not getting a break until 3:00 is quite rough, but hey, welcome to the real world? At least those classes are fairly interesting. I’ll talk more about my classes later though, because it’s time for WIAW:
I’ve really been focusing on getting my sh*t together after how horribly I ate at Christmas and NYE. I’ve been consistently tracking calories since the first annnd working out (as usual, but I have been upping the intensity a bit). So I’ll show you some pretty pics of what I’ve been shoving down my pie hole and then I’ll show you the boring calorie count for this week 
.
Literally two-ingredient pancakes everyday for breakfast (I love switching things up for dinner, but I’m not going to lie, when I find a breakfast I’m really digging I will have it everyday for months.)
I did buy chocolate coconut butter to put on top to switch things up (with a little vanilla almond butter as well)
Lot’s of boring open-faced sandwiches and peppers.
I’ve been putting garlic hummus, guacamole, turkey lunch meat, onion, and lettuce on them and LOVING it.
Lot’s o’ veggies and lean proteins for dinner:
Kale + eggs + salsa = mmmmm.
Chicken + green beans + tons of spices
Chicken + roasted zucchini and peppers
Oh, and it’s me so I HAD to have a dessert. At least it was healthy!
I made Danielle’s Gingerbread Cake for One and I smothered it in coconut butter after taking this pic. (I promise it tasted better than it looked.)
And here’s all the calories I’ve consumed since last Wednesday:
I’m off to be productive on my “day off”!
oooh man, that’s a great schedule!! i’d MUCH rather a few packed days and get wed/friday off. My absolute ideal work week would be to have Wednesday off – makes the week fly by!
Totally! I’ve never had that before and it feels super weird to not have to go to class or work today.
You have some fantastic looking meals! I like the scrambled eggs with salsa, with a side of kale. Great combo idea! Congrats on two days down . . . how many to go?
just one more this week…… and waaayyy too many until spring break hahahaa
All of your eats look delish! I’m trying to get back on track, myself. That chocolate coconut butter is really calling my name!
Thanks! I highly recommend the individual packets for the chocolate coconut butter. A little treat while still staying on track
Great job on tracking everything! It can be tedious but it really does work!
Thanks girl!
Wow awesome job with the calorie tracking and meeting your goals! Your food looks good to. I like the idea of an open faced sandwich for lunch to switch it up. I like to do a half of a sandwich but it always feels so small. I’ll have to try this out!
That’s totally how I feel. Sometimes I’ll make a half sandwich, but it just looks so puny. An open faced one tricks me into thinking I’m eating more haha
Hi there.
New reader here!!!
Loving your post so far–will be reading.
xo
thanks! Sorry it took me so long to reply, for some reason wordpress put your comment into the spam folder.
that’s so nice that you have no classes on wednesday and (especially) Friday (3 day weekends!!) I had my first night class last semester….yeah it would suck going their every Tuesday but then I didn’t have to worry again until the next week, I have another one this semester so hopefully I feel the same way haha
Yeah, I had a lot freshman year and I always felt the same. They drag on and feel like forever, but it is very nice to just get it over with. & I actually rarely have Friday classes because my school is on a weird quarter system and only have Friday classes for a couple business classes and some language classes. Love it.
Everything looks so good and healthy. So impressive for college meals! I think I lived off of cereal! So glad you tried my recipe. I hope you loved it
thanks danielle! I try to not be the typical college kid
. And I loved the recipe! I always search your site when I’m craving a mug cake 
All that food looks delish! I wish that I had Wednesdays and Fridays off! Another reason to look forward to college
Thanks! Yeah I love my schedule so far
Congrats on sticking with a healthy food regimen, those are some impressive calorie counts!
Thanks!! I just feel so good physically & emotionally when I eat like this. Gotta keep that in mind when I feel like binging on junk!
I love the easy AM pancakes that only take a few ingredients. I usually add almond butter so I will have to give it ago with just banana and egg. Great idea! Congrats on surviving your first few days back!
Thanks! Yeah I always make it with just banana and egg but smother it in AB when it’s done instead of syrup
I must try that!
Chicken +roasted veggies is such a classic combo:) Looks like a great day of eats!
Totally. One of my fav easy dinners!
I love all of the fresh, whole foods here! Tons of great colors and flavors.
Also, Friday classes are totes for freshmen! pft!
Thanks! Trying to eat healthy. And ahahahaha I knoooowww!
Wahoo for surviving your classes and that’s awesome that you’ve got 2 days off! I had a similar schedule for a semester and loved the mid-week break and long weekend
And yum to your eats!
I know, I’ve only got one week down, but I absolutely love the day off in the middle of the week. Just feels like I have SO much more time to get stuff done!
All of your food looks awesome (as usual) Looks like you’re off to a great start!
thanks
