700 calorie workout
Mmmmmm I like the eliptical mmmmmm....
60 minutes, 700 calories, and a damned good sweat session put me right over the top today. I had sushi for lunch (sushi? I LOVE SUSHI!) with miso soup and salad and damnit if I don't feel like a rockstar. And my ankle doesn't even hurt!
I wonder what the nutritional breakdown of miso soup is...
I did well on my A&P test yesterday tho I can think of at least two (of the 50+) questions that I probably got wrong... *sigh* I was, however, the first one done... which puts me right back into the swing of testing that I left behind when I graduated from OSU 8 years ago. I am a very intuitive tester. I read each question twice, answer and move on. I do not check my work, I do not second guess the answer that first comes to my mind/pen because I have found thru experience that generally (more often than not) my first answer is the right one or the rightest one I'm going to be able to come up with.
So I'll know next week how I did "oficially" on my first test. This week will be a bit tougher tho because we are looking at cells and tissues on a more in-depth level and theres a LOT more to... uh... KNOW... ya know?
Thanks for all the advice below, by the way... I do need to get into a nightly "little bit every day" routine with the homework or I will be screwed in a couple of weeks.
Maybe tomorrow I'll post my list of "official titles" that I came up with this week. Right now my official title is pooped network professional... time for COFFEE!!!

Brenna, you are going to do great this semester. I think the discipline you've developed with your eating plans and workouts is gonna transfer over to school as well. And a commando test-taker, too? You are so gonna ace that class. I'm a "bad student", myself. Best of intentions at the the beginning of the semester, but studying just always seems to take a backseat to my real life. I just go with it- I end up doing well in the end and my home and work lives don't suffer too much. Good luck finding a study system that works for you.

Another fast test-taker. I always feel weird finishing way before everyone else... (doesn't mean that I always did well though...) I'm terrible at checking my work, which is sorta bad since I put stuff on government web sites for the world to read... hahahaha

Just wanted to say that I luuuuurve your new bike. I'm lusting after a road bike right now, but am having to reign in my lust for now. I absolutely adore my mountain bike, but sometime's a girl just wants some speed!
It's so cool you're pursuing midwivery. Have you read "A Midwife's Tale?"
