I actually had the majority of my homework done yesterday, but I still decided to get up bright and early this morning to get started on next week’s homework. Sleeping in would have been nice though! Oh why, oh why, so I have to be so responsible?
For breakfast, I had PB/Banana toast and milk for 5 points.
While working on homework, I sipped on some Orange flavored coffee with FF vanilla creamer for 1 point.
I worked on homework and planned out the rest of my semester. It’s hard to believe there are only 5 more weeks of classes before finals week! Once I wrote down what I had to accomplish, I felt my stress levels go down. I am all about being organized, making lists, schedules and plans. It really helps with the stress and I need to start doing it more often.
After a good couple of hours on homework, I hit the treadmill. I did my usual treadmill workout. I walked .25 to both warm up and cool down and ran 1 mile straight in 11:08!!! That is HUGE for me! I really pushed myself! 
After the workout, I made a green smoothie out of: 1 cup spinach, 1 orange, 1/3 cup light vanilla yogurt, 1 tbs. milled flax, and 1/2 scoop of Jillian Michaels vanilla protein powder. I also had 1/2 cup of Cheerios for a total of 4 points.
I forgot how delicious those green smoothies with oranges are. YUM!
On my way to class, I ate 1/2 oz. of dry roasted peanuts for 2 points.
I love my first class. I am taking the History of Ireland and it’s so interesting. I have an Irish heritage so that makes it all the more interesting to me.
Before my second class I ate a Fiber One Calorie chewy bar for 2 points.
My second and third classes went quickly. I have to create a project using Adobe Dream Weaver and I’m just frustrated because I really don’t know how it works. Any of you use it? So I’m trying to learn but also stressed because I have to have this project done in a few weeks and I can only work at it at school because it’s an expensive program. It’s just frustrating because it’s so difficult to use. I don’t understand the basics of what I’m doing.
On my drive home, I ate a WW string cheese for 1 point.
And an apple for 0 points.
I felt like I had to go out of my comfort zone a few times today at school and that’s just stressful for me. I am exhausted. I have a headache. Here I go again with the stress! I think I create it for myself. Why can’t I just be a more laid back person? lol
Hubby pulled in the garage right when I got home from school! I was so happy to see him home early! We decided we’d go out for supper tonight and just take a little break. I’m so looking forward to it.
