Multitasking Morning

Hello friends!

I have an exam in my biochemistry class this morning, so I got up super early to get in some exercise while studying my notes. You guys know I love multi-tasking. 🙂

I started in our little apartment gym on the elliptical since it was still dark outside, but relocated outside once the sun came up. The gym was kind of crowded, the TV was on, and it was hot — not the best studying environment. Outside in the fresh morning air and the quiet streets of my neighborhood was muuuuch better. 🙂

I just came back, showered, and threw together a quick packed lunch — I have a 9:30 a.m. class, followed by my biochem exam, followed by a group meeting and some study sessions for comprehensive exams. Busy day ahead!

For lunch, I packed up some of the leftover Simple Pantry Tuna Salad I made the other day, plus a Chobani yogurt and some grapes. I also have some almonds in my bag for extra snackage.

Aaaand I’m off! Wish me luck on my exam this morning! 🙂

    Hi! I LOVE your blog but I never comment. I just wanted to tell you how much I admire your lifestyle and attitude. I'm dedicated to working out/cooking/eating healthy but my last semesters in college are really not fun anymore and I just want to get it over with. It's so hard to stay motivated and keep up the energy for doing good in school while also making time to work out. I sometimes dread my busy days, but reading your post every morning helps me just DO IT. With a smile on my face...usually :) So thank you for your inspiration, recipes, and contagious attitude :) Good luck on your test!

    Good luck Anne!! I really appreciate people like you. Those who work hard to better themselves, but also towards the ultimate goal of helping others! Love your lunch box by the way! Where's it from? Mine is getting pretty beat up so I'm on the prowl.

    I love being able to study and run/elliptical at the same time! I've never done it outside though, I'm afraid I'd run into something while reading!

    Boy, have I missed you. I just got my computer out of the hospital. I have been without it since Monday. I actually went to the library 2 times this week to read your blog and see what I have missed. I had withdrawal symptoms. Did you and Matt find a place to live yet??
