Tips to be Healthy in College

I recently shared one of my grocery lists with you:

This is just one of the steps/planning methods I am going to use while in school to stay ON TRACK!
Not everyone reading this may be in college, but everyone knows what it's like to be in a HURRY!

Sometimes, I think the biggest challenge I face is when I am not prepared, HUNGRY and have to buy somthing out of a vending machine. 

While I have not done that in the past eight weeks, I have also been on Summer Vacation. 

Being hungry at school or at work with no snacks or if I had no time to pack/eat lunch is the WORST!

I used to be NOTORIOUS for just saying "whatevs"
and buying poptarts for lunch from a vending machine. 

Obviously if I want to continue this journey towards a HEALTHY, LONG LIFE

I can't do that anymore. 

So here are some of the tips I have (for myself) and anyone else who finds them beneficial:


Buy Non-Perishable Healthy Snacks Ahead of Time...Lots of them. 

Then store them! 



Pre-Portion ALL your snacks Ahead of Time!
(To avoid over snacking) 

My Cute Little, Tiny Paleo Pantry
 In the bags I have portioned out dried apples, dark chocolate, nuts, & dried bananas that should last me a WHILE!!

I even bought those sweet potatoes that are washed & you microwave them in the plastic for SPEED

(These are also the PERFECT snacks for me to eat in class/at work)

Even the stuff in my fridge is portioned...
Yogurt, cheese sticks, carrots in baggies ect....

I am PREPARED!

Bring it ON college!

Now... when will I workout?!

Well, I deemed this my New Motto, and YES it's going up on my black-board:


 We'll see how this semester goes!

Weekly Weigh-in LOST 1 Pound!!!




Every Sunday I weigh myself and take new progress pictures. 

Last Sunday I maintained weight after my trip to Disneyland and a cheat date with the Boyfriend. 

This week I pushed myself hard in my workouts and ate very well, I am SO HAPPY to have weighed in at 152!

I have lost 5 pounds in 8 weeks! 
(that's healthy weightloss for ya, slow and steady wins the race)
Here is my beggining picture:
I wish I took my measurements, because even though I am losing weight at a slow pace, It looks like I may have lost some inches??

School starts on tomorrow and I am so freaked out! I have had TONS of time this Summer to workout and now everyday I will have to go straight from school to work until 6 p.m.....

So I am going to try and get ahead today!

First I will go out grocery shopping for these things:
Then I am going to cook ALL the chicken, as well as per-portion out all of the dark chocolate, nuts, & carrots...

I'm hoping this will help keep me in check this week!

Wish me luck!

Photo Diet 8/18/12


It's been years since I have gone to Laser tag people, YEARS

I went on a double date tonight and had a FUN time at Laser Tag after dinner...

and it gave me a CRAZY idea....

Next time I go I'm going to wear gym clothes, and use my sports tracker to calculate my calories burned!!!


Anyways, here is what I ate today:






 Whole-wheat sweet pork quesadilla!



Looking back I did NOT get enough veggies today! I will definitely have to make up for that tomorrow!

Also..

 
I bought my copy of the Hunger Games!! YAY!

I have read all three books twice....
