It’s That Time Again

Chemistry Test. But also FINALS next week.

Thankfully I’ve already got one out of the way with.

I have:

• Computer Final (really easy)
• Selection and Prep of Foods Final (also easy)
• Nutrition I Final (have to study for, no study guide until Friday but the final isn’t until Thursday)
• Chemistry Final (also have a test on Friday and the final is Monday, but we are allowed to take it Wednesday)

So basically I’m focusing most of my time on Chemistry. I HAVE to get a B in the class, otherwise I get a 3.333 for semester. But if I do get a B I get a 3.7 for semester, crazy how big a gap that is right?

So wish me luck this week!!!!

In other news, here’s some of the food I have eaten this week

Reasons why I’ve taken pictures of my food this week:

    I am participating in a study for a student at my school. She is looking at the bone density of vegetarians vs non vegetarians and I offered to be a non vegetarian. Plus I am really wanting to get the DEXA (Dual Energy X-ray Absorptiometry) done which costs $400 if you have done yourself. But mine will be free!

It helps understand composition of bone, fat and lean mass.

So I have to keep a 3 day dietary log, which I am used to by now, being a dietetics major.

*this isn’t all I’ve eaten, just some highlights. I don’t take pictures of my boring cereal throughout the days.

The last two pictures were fun. We had “Kindergarten” themed dinner. I got fish sticks and a sundae. Plus some fruit cocktail and a spinach salad. The line was super long for the chicken tenders and chef Boyardee type ravioli.

Well back to the books I go!

Cross Training Does the Body Good

We now have instead of a day off, a pool workout. We aqua jog once a week.

I like this because it eliminates the pounding on your legs that running causes but still gives a workout.

We had a 8 minute warmup then a 20 minute workout with hard and easy intervals and then an 8 minute cooldown.

Coach said when aqua jogging your pulse should be at least 20/21 beats per 10 seconds.

The two times we tested mine was 24 and 25. Success.

This workout was equivalent to 4 miles running.

dinner was not very good tonight. I got a little bit of “fettuccini alfredo” which should’ve been called “bowtie alfredo” but I won’t get technical. Then I had some bow ties with meat sauce but the noodles were OVERcooked. Ew. The hot dog with chili and cheese was good. They didn’t have buns when I went up, but it was probably better without anyway.

Then I saw some girl with some fresh fruit!! They must’ve just put it out so I ran like no other and grabbed some!

I honestly love fruit!!!

I was still hungry so of course I grabbed the go to food if there isn’t anything else good: pizza.

Part of my homework was to analyze some research done on calcium absorption.

I thought I would let you all read the article, it’s quite interesting.

All in all: the study resulted in the two ice cream formulations having the same amount of calcium and similar ingredients proved the calcium absorption to be almost equivalent to calcium absorption of reduced fat milk.

Here’s the abstract of it, but to get the full text you have to have an account.

Television

I also watched Hellcats from last week and I really liked it.

I can’t wait to watch it again!

Also One Tree Hill started tonight, however I only watch tv days later online.

I don’t have time to watch at night.

Do you watch tv at it’s scheduled time, or watch it when it’s convenient for you?
