Thankfully this week wasn’t nearly as stressful as I thought it would be.

♥ ♥ ♥

Since I read so much ahead of time, I actually knew most of the information before class even started and this time around my teacher is actually writing the tests and quizzes as opposed to her receiving pre-made ones by the book company. Which is a lot nicer, because what she actually talks about in class is now what is actually on the quizzes and tests.  Makes sense right? Well, sadly it wasn’t like that before.

So I am proud to report I did quite well on my quiz, practical and test. Oh yes, I basically have three tests a week.

It’s awesome.

Not.

Along with feeling more comfortable with the material I actually did not go to the library in the mornings before class.  A few of us actually met up a few days to study and review, but even when I did that I was able to spend more time at home and more time preparing a decent breakfast.

I actually had the same thing two days in a row. Can you believe it?

Oh wait, coming from someone who tends to get into ruts, I’m sure that actually isn’t too surprising huh?

What can I say, I’m predicable. :)

Welcome one of my true breakfast loves.

soy chocolate pudding panini. i seriously love these things and can’t get enough of them. i’m such a sweet eater it’s a bit ridiculous.

But alas, again I was a bit rushed this morning. I actually can’t believe I took the time to photograph it, because it was actually consumed in the kitchen, standing up, while making/packing my lunch.  Not to say it wasn’t enjoyed, how could I not, just again rushed.

i used the pumpkin butter again and of course you have the apple/pudding/and some cinnamon love meshed all in there. grilled to perfection.

I try and tell myself that since the apple is in there this is an acceptable breakfast and that pudding for breakfast is ok.

That’s what I tell myself.  It seems to be working.

and of course paired with the remainder of my apple and pudding on the side for some extra dipping.

Not gonna lie, as soon as the photo’s were taken the apple went right into that pudding.

And then into my mouth.

Another frequent visitor came back for an appearance on the breakfast menu.

i know i said i was getting egg sandwiched out, but not having it for a few days brought back my craving for it. although i think i crave the jam component more than the egg component.

By the way, I’m not sure if any of you have tried this (although some of you told me you did and that made me super excited!) but it is a very very messy breakfast.  At least for me. Maybe I’m just messy. That’s always a possibility.

i even took the time to pair this with a delicious mini greek yogurt mess. i ended up adding a bit of my apricot preserves to the yogurt to sweeten it up a bit (which was amazing) and topped it with some cherries and pineapple and a light sprinkle of my maple cereal.

I haven’t had cereal in awhile (I was told by my therapist that it was one of the top binge foods, so that kind of freaked me out) so I try and use it sparingly now.

Although I did just finish my big tub of Fage greek yogurt, and we do have some dark chocolate almond milk. And with the addition to cereal in that tub…is kind of amazing.  So it may need to make a comeback. Just a quick one though.

deliciousness. up close and personal

I’m actually starting to worry that I eat a bit too much jam/jelly.  One the sugar issue kind of crosses my mind and two I need to stop making the excuse “oh I need to gain it’s ok”  Because when I don’t need to gain anymore.  These habits may be hard to break. And may cause restriction due to me wanting to “cut back”.  Both not good options.

Although that may be a complete eating disorder thought.

I don’t even know anymore.

Even though I haven’t been too stressed out and going to the library in the morning (trust me my after school/appointments/nightly sessions are still happening) I have been doing a lot more studying at home.  I’ve mentioned before how great Matt has been with helping me study, but the other night I had another study buddy.

Now when I say study buddy you would think I mean someone who is helping me study. But I think this one had other motives.

oh he looks soooo super cute doesn’t he. i swear this guy wants nothing to do with me, unless i’m laying on the couch, trying to do something else.

I swear this cat when I try to pet and love on him he wants nothing to do with me.

But oh, mom is laying on the couch. She looks busy. I think I’ll go lay on her now.

i mean seriously. look at that face.

Now what a great study buddy you think right? I mean. He’s just sitting there all supportive.

Then this happens.

done-zo. passed out kitteh. i took the hint. we stopped studying.

♥ ♥ ♥

I hope everyone enjoys their weekend I know I am looking forward to mine.

Will there be trips to the library in my near future?

Of course.

But Matt’s parents are driving down to do some shopping (they moved to Payson, AZ which is a small mountain town that does not have some of the stores they like) so that is always a good time to see them.  And then let’s pray the Colt’s actually win a game.

We have our lucky snow globe to root them on!

go colts!

 ♥ ♥ ♥

Do you have any weekend plans?

Do you like to study by yourself or with a study buddy?

And I’m curious to know how people are doing on their Christmas shopping?  I haven’t barely started (although Matt is already done) but I love to Christmas shop! I really wish I was working and had more money to spend, I went to the mall the other day and was soooo tempted by so many things. I just love the holiday season, it puts me in such a giving mood. I just wish I could give more right now!
