Hello my lovely munchkins! I missed you all! I have so many post ideas brewing in my head, and hopefully tomorrow I can get one up for you.
I’ve been pretty busy this semester; the coursework is substantially heavier, and I keep having meetings and different things taking up my time, so I rarely have time to just sit and freely write. I have NOT been getting enough sleep (who’s surprised?), and I really don’t like that, but I’m also the kind of person who will do everything on her to-do list before she goes to bed, even if those things don’t HAVE to be crossed off that day. Anyone relate?
I am working on that, though, just trying to prioritize and be more efficient with my time. I guess the fact that I WANT to do better means I can find a way, right? That’s what I’m telling myself anyway. But okay enough with the complaining already! If you’re ready, let’s jump straight into the eats (these are from Tuesday).
Breakfast was a Perfect bar and a chai tea with a splash of almond milk. Plus a side of my Harry Potter stickered laptop :p LOVE
After my groggy 8am, I went back to my room and whipped up a matcha latte to help me perk up. Read: because it’s delicious. I recently got collagen peptides, and I’ve been loving putting them in my daily matcha. I don’t know yet if it’s having any sort of tangible effect, but I’m enjoying the process anyhow 🙂 I usually do a scoop of collagen, a teaspoon of matcha powder, and fill up the cup almost all the way with hot water. Then whisk it up with my special matcha whisk, and finally just splash on some almond milk. So wellness :p
Then I met Georgetown Bestie for our weekly Tuesday lunch date, and we went to South Block today. I got the Evolution Bowl, which had avocado, banana, peanut butter, maca powder, and spirulina. Plus some granola on top. DEE-LISH! Oh and obviously my fave iced almond milk latte. (Decaf because I wanted to keep the caffeine low so I could finally get a good night’s sleep that night).
After that I had two long classes and then was hungry again (shocker), so I pulled out this Quest bar during Econ. Also I don’t know if I’m insane, but for some reason it tasted better than ever before, so I’m not sure if they switched up the formula or I was just really hungry LOL.
Right after class, I went to a yoga class right on campus, which was PERFECT for today. I was a little sore from my workout yesterday and had been planning on doing yoga anyway, and then a friend asked if I wanted to join her for one of the evening classes. Obviously, I was game, and it was wonderful, though I was sort of falling asleep throughout. #sleepdeprivation
I grabbed dinner from the dining hall right after. Almond crusted trout, green beans, and this eggplant-squash-tomato thing. All the veggies were delicious; the fish was very meh. But Sriracha fixes all. 😉
Bedtime snack was a small apple I’d stolen from the dining hall + half a banana, served with a nice puddle of almond butter. And some juicy green grapes!
And there you have it, a glimpse into my daily eats when I’m busy running around. Also curious, does anyone actually forget to eat when they’re busy? Because I’ve always heard of this, and it NEVER made sense to me. Like…I am late to class because I want to finish my oatmeal and green tea in the morning LOL, and I personally can’t focus when I’m hungry, let alone be a pleasant human.
Have an awesome and DELICIOUS Wednesday, lovelies, and I hope to see you back here tomorrow!
Linking up with Laura for What I Ate Wednesday
Ever forget to eat?
Tell me the best thing you ate recently!
Joyce @ The Hungry Caterpillar says
Yeah, I’ve never gotten the whole “I forgot to eat” thing. How does anyone forget to eat?
Your Harry Potter sticker, though. That’s adorable. Sorry about things being so busy. I hate that feeling of not being able to quite keep on top of things. And losing sleep. Hope you got a good night’s rest!

Haha thank you!! I actually got a nice 7 hours last night, so feeling much better over here. Hopefully will have a repeat tonight.
Patrick@looneyforfood.com says
Im the same way about my to do list! I won’t let my self relax or finish the day until I have accomplished my list. Perhaps we should make our to do lists shorter. HAHA 1)have coffee 2)eat food 3)walk dog done.

Nicole Rosalyn says
Haha I’ve definitely done that thing where I put super simple things on my to-do list like “listen to this song” or “take shower.” So fun to cross it off hehehe
Cora says
I never have understood it. Same with the “I haven’t eaten all day” thing. It all used to seriously bug me but I’ve been able to just let it slide as a “I don’t get it and never will so whatever…” kind of thing. I am also late BECAUSE having a good breakfast and enjoying my morning is way more important to me, aha. Your dining hall does trout? How fancy. Too bad it was only meh…

LOL omg yes! Like what are you running on, petroleum?? And hehehe glad someone relates to the breakfast indulgences 😉 I just love slow mornings and feel like they set me up for the whole day.
Katherine says
I can relate to this so much!! Like how does someone “forget” breakfast? It’s the main reason I get out of bed! And it used to annoy me too, but I like your perspective- we don’t have to understand, but we can let it be 🙂
Nicole Rosalyn says
Hehe I don’t understand it, but I can accept it (kinda) :p
Alyssa says
