I have a single this year (no roommate! Wahoo!). So I bought a roommate. His name is Burton and he is a Betta Fish. He lives happily on my desk in a 2.5 gallon tank with a filter, heater, plant and hiding place. I think he's a pretty lucky fish considering most bettas get stuck in a tiny bowl their whole lives.
I am on the 14 meal plan. Which means instead of 19 meals a week I get 14. That means I need to eat 5 meals in my dorm room. I gained 8 lbs freshman year. Not the 15 I read I was going to gain, but still. I lost it all over the summer by eating right and exercising every day (started with Jillian Michael's 30 Day Shred). So I want to not gain 8 lbs this year and continue eating healthfully. I bought a fridge and stocked up on healthy foods and snacks and literally threw out unhealthy foods. Despite having my first class at 10:50 everyday I get up at 6:15 am and work out with a friend. We go to the gym do cardio abs and alternate arms and legs. If she weren't going, I wouldn't go. If you have a friend (which I am sure you do) make a plan to go to the gym every day! That way you have a friend who is waiting for you if you don't show up. Go!
Look at all that healthy food!! Carrots, sugar snap peas, blueberries, strawberries, smart balance butter, eggs, chobani snack yogurts! And in the door I have Horizon Chocolate milks. I keep healthy burritos in the freezer section along with frozen yogurt.
If you really don't want to go, ride the stationary bike and bring homework! I do every time I have a quiz or test that day just to refresh my memory! And I listen to an app with white noise so the gym music and people talking don't disrupt me.
For breakfast every morning I have an egg with fruit or GF Cheerios (I have Celiac Disease) with cut up apples and almond milk (or regular milk). Either strawberries, blue berries or apple. As you can see, I like taking pictures of food.
And that is pretty much my life right now! All summed up with food, classes and exercise!
