Some Catching Up

Right to business..Song of the day is Waka Waka by Shakira. I cannot stop wiggling around to it, I am literally dancing with every step I take to go somewhere. I am a HUGE Shakira fan to begin with, she is kind of the like the woman I want to be. Go listen to some of her music and tell me if you can stop moving, because for me it is impossible; I LOVE THE FLAVAAA.

Next, I finally have time to post!! I have been so busy with classes starting and doing my first day of interning today :) I will get to that in a little bit. First class talk. So the hardest thing for me is organizing how I am going to take notes and pay attention and what not. For this semester I have decided to leave the computer at home so that I am not surfing the web and telling myself I am just multitasking. I am challenging myself to sit there and pay attention, allowing only the occasional day dream. But this leads to a lot of extra work. I have coincidingly decided that I am going to write the days notes in my notebook when I get home every evening, reiterating what I paid so much attention to in the actual lecture. I think it's a good plan. I mean I review the notes twice and then I am not cramming to write all the notes down the day before the test like I have had a history of doing…whoops! But it also takes time away from blogging--wah wah waah.

Back to today though! Where I do have the time to write and tell the world or whoever wants to hear about my first day of interning. I love loved it!! I have tons and I mean tons to learn, but I am excited to jump in. Today was more of an orientation day, I got info with a side of info and some more info on the top, but I think I am retaining it pretty well. The office if full of great girls who are really willing to help and let me ask as many questions as I need which makes the environment so comfortable. Really I don't think they will ever know how much it helps that they are so nice and willing to teach me. My goals are written and I plan on going into the job full throttle next week after I have the weekend to sit down and get familiar with everything. I am going to keep the details to a minimum on here because I do not like to mix work with pleasure, but I just was so excited about starting this whole new chapter of my life and considering that is exactly what this blog is supposed to be about I thought I had to put a little tid bit in here.

So next on my list, was healthy to go snacks that I have been creating that I wanted to share. After making my Nutella cookies, which were great-the empty plates in my kitchen two days after clearly showed that for fact-made me realize how much sugar I ate in the last few days. I needed to get back on  track and with school starting and a hectic schedule I started to use some great healthy muchies that have just been saving my overeating habits in my long days lately.

1. carrots dipped in honey or hummus (depends on your mood really)
2. celery stalks with peanut butter and raisins
3. greek yogurt with cut up peaches and raspberries
4. pretzel crisps (amazing! I found them in Fry's) and hummus/salsa
5. cucumbers with whipped non-fat cream cheese
6. quaker minis with almond butter (my go to is the caramel corn)
7. fat free rainbow sherbet with sliced banana (great dessert substitute)
8. Starbucks grande iced coffee with sugar free cinnamon dolce sweetener and soy milk
9. Almonds (when paired with a Special K protein water, they really get THAT much better)
10. Cherry tomatoes with whipped non-fat cream cheese

I think that is it for now, more to come this weekend! If you have any other food ideas for the craziness let me know!

This is my hectic face and what I looked like the whole time writing this haha. 

This is Red Mnt. It is right near my parents house, anytime I need a moment to relax I go and sit outside and look at it. So in crazy times, take a break to have a fresh breath!
