[MENTION=2]Ivy[/MENTION] Beef jerky is really awesome! I used to eat it a ton when I was in the desert because it was such a convenient form of heavy food+portability+precious sodium. A piece of beef jerky and water could tie me over for hours when I knew I needed to eat but never felt hungry because of the heat.
March 4th: I had a kind of frowny-faced day yesterday with the icy roads, icy rain I had to walk through, and a test I had to cram for. I did, however, make time to go to the rodeo so I walked around there for a while.

It was fun. I also ate horribly awful... I cannot even remember what I ate, but I'm almost sure 90% of it was junk food.
March 5th: However, today I ate pretty decently. It's amazing what having an extra few hours in the morning does for me starting things off right. I had a home cooked green soup (broccoli, onion, garlic, celery, spinach, cilantro and parsley pureed with some lemon meat and herbes de Provence and juniper berries) with basmati dill rice, orange, banana, and some thin-sliced high quality bacon for breakfast.. sufficient hydration during school.. and vietnamese food for dinner. (some chicken broth with green onion, cilantro, lime, and hot sauce broth.. steamed rice with lots of hot sauce and hoisin sauce.. char-cooked chicken with an awesome hoisin-based sauce, vinegar carrots and cauliflower and a dipping sauce made from pepper, salt, and lime juice.) I still need to remember to eat breakfast. @_@ I did do my stretches for my hips too.
Overall: Yesterday, I sucked. Today, I rocked. And I'm okay with that if I can just keep rocking it out. Tomorrow is clinicals, so I'll probably chew on some oats and fruit for breakfast, stop by the grocery and grab some fruit and a thing of sushi for lunch, and eat a fig bar sort of thing while driving home to cook up a soup and salad for dinner.
It's the start of my spring break after tomorrow, and plenty of time for me to get things in shape for myself. I plan on at least hour-long work outs for the times I have off, and while I'm not really into extreme diets.. I was thinking it'd be a good time to test out something new diet-wise. I'm still working on the research for it.
