Senior project is done and turned in!!
This has definitely been one of the best finals weeks ever. Both yesterday and today have consisted of basking in the hot rays for hours. Got a little Vegas shopping in at Forever 21 tonight (yes – going to Vegas next week!!). And Chipotle for dinner!
Chipotle finally opened up here in SLO a couple weeks ago, and we figured the hype had finally died down a bit so it wouldn’t be super crowded.
Vegetarian salad with black beans, sauteed onions & bell peppers, extra pico de gallo, corn salsa relish, and guacamole.
I got the vegetarian JUST to get free guacamole, and this Chiptole skimped on the guac. Usually they load that beast on!
This morning I woke up not hungry, so enjoyed a cup (or 3) of delicious coffee while blog reading.
Still not hungry, and with a slight stomach ache, I grabbed a small breakfast on my way out the door to a nanny interview.
Whole wheat bagel thin – Justin’s honey PB & Crofter’s superfruit spread. That little corner of white stuff is cream cheese. Then I ran out. Oh well – I tried!
1 1/2 hours later, my hunger caught up to me and arrived home starving. I George Formaned another bagel thin with turkey, cheese, and BBQ sauce.
Plus kabocha squash on the side.
While finishing up my project post-sun time, I snacked on these cinnamon almond cookie bites. They give a funky aftertaste. But are okay to munch on.
Turned in that 25 page project (yeah-yuh!!), and hit up the pool for a quick 30 minute swim.
- 500 freesyle
- 500 freestyle pulling with paddles
- 100 IM
- 100 freestyle
(repeat above IM/freestyle sequence 3 times) - 100 cooldown
I’m so glad I made myself go, because I was not feelin’ it at all. And I was this close to just saying “screw it!”. But I knew I’d regret not going more than I’d regret actually swimming – you know?
Swimming made me a hungry fishie, and I had half of this bar to hold me over until dinner.
Really not such a fan. Especially for the very small bar to high calorie ratio. I’ll try the other flavors, but we’ll see!
Then dinner, shopping, and now American Idol! I’m telling ya – it’s been a good day 😀
Shopping must have been hard work because I came home 2 hours after dinner starving! And made myself 2 bags of mini-popcorn. So much for the portion control of mini bags…LOL. Oh and 3 clementines. And a spoonful of PB.
Dang. For such an un-hungry morning, I sure got ravenous later on.
Thoughts on tonight’s Idol?
I love Lee. I voted 😉
Is the weather by you as nice as it is here?
I’m pretty sure it was in the 80’s today!! So nice. And definitely got burnt. Whoops! Time to aloe it up.
That must feel so great to be done! Congrats!!
I love Vegas!! I wish I was going lol have fun 🙂 As for American Idol, I am a huge huge huge fan of the rolling stones so I didn’t think that I would enjoy the contestants’ versions of their songs, but they were all pretty good. I was never a Lee fan before, but he was awesome. Siobhan is my favorite.
Yay! Congrats on finishing your project!
ah sweet relief, no? congrats on finishing up the projecto!
Congtats on being done! What a good feeling! I took 3 years off before I went back to grad school, and now I’m in my second year, and I really love it. Good luck with figuring out your next step! 🙂
Since you have been swimming instead of running because of your injury, how has that changed your eating? I am just asking because I run and I know I use running to eat more. Or if I feel like I have eaten too much I will run longer, and I am like just tired of this pattern. I want to be a little more balanced, like reduce my exercise and just be able to eat moderately regardless of my exercise. I just wondered what it was like for you? Thanks & congrats again-Jesse 🙂
yayaay for being done!! I want to go swimming so bad, its amazing exercise, I wish my gym had a pool 😦
those Kays protein bites are AWESOME!
hello, beautiful eats! chipotle and that melty cheesey sandwich both caught my eye. YES for being DONE. good work, tay! vegas?! hoorah! that will be a blast!

I agree with Janetha–the chipotle looks good and I def wanna get some Chipotle soon!
Congrats on finishing your project! I bet that feels amazingggg. And Vegas – what a way to celebrate!
Weather was gorgeous here (Boston) today!! Finally starting to feel like spring, I love how it lifts everyone’s mood!
ooohhh yum, i love chipotles gauc.
Take me with you to Vegas! You know I’m a good Vegas friend 🙂
CONGRATS!! You need to do some serious celebrating this weekend!
For what it’s worth, shopping is my form of “long runs” that other bloggers do. Shopping is exercise!! Haha 😉
That Chipotle salad looks delish!
P.S. when I was at the airport the other week, I stumbled upon a Jamba Juice and ordered their steel cut oats for the first time–invariably, I thought of you! They were DELICIOUS!
