But it’s a good thing. A month off for winter break was way too long, in my opinion, because it went from constant stimulation and friends and studying and brainpower to doing absolutely nothing. And i’m not happy when i’m doing nothing. I get very cranky. I prefer to be busy and intellectually stimulated. 

Anyways, today I went and got some snacks from Trader Joe’s for my dorm room and they look so yummy I want to eat them all now! They consist of:

Dark Chocolate Covered Blueberries

Soft & Juicy Dried Mango

Peanut Butter-Filled Pretzels

Dried Tart Green Mango

Sesame Honey Almonds

Satay Noodles

and

The Dark Chocolate Lover’s Chocolate Bar, 85% Cacao

Yay! Sounds delicious. They’re good snacks to last me a while, and are mostly protein to get me through late nights or to snack on before a workout. I can’t wait to get back into a routine.

So I’ve lost about 2 pounds, says my Wii Fit (I don’t know whether to trust it or not!!), and if that’s true then that’s a great thing! But I’m also feeling my progress in other ways. Since I’ve been starting to do my strength routine more frequently, I’ve felt my legs get significantly stronger. 50 squats and 50 lunges will definitely do it to you! My butt’s also getting tighter, so now I just need to see some fat loss. Yay! I’m excited.
