First Face-to-Face Class as a Grad Student

I finally had my first face-to-face class this semester! As nice as it is to take classes online, I really prefer being forced to go to class and pay attention. If nothing else it actually gives me something to go do during the day - a reason to get dressed in something besides my workout clothes. I am actually excited about this class. The instructor has a lot of experience in project management, so unlike most full-time professors, he has a lot of great stories to share with us. Also, he looks like Elvis, so that is always amusing!

I LOVE pancakes, so Caroline and I made some great whole wheat buttermilk pancakes from this awesome cookbook. We love that the author focuses on raw, natural food choices - everything we have tried has been really good. The pancakes this morning were delicious of course, and the recipe makes enough pancakes that we were able to freeze enough to pull out for another breakfast, yay!

Neither of us had class until this evening, so we both hit the gym. Caroline seemed a bit more tired than me after our respective workouts today - guess I'll have to work a little bit harder tomorrow. She ran through a great looking workout in Oxygen Magazine. I think I will have to borrow a few of her issues to get some workout ideas.

Lunch was easy and healthy today. If you haven't tried spaghetti squash you definitely have to. We love to eat it with a ground turkey meat sauce in place of spaghetti. I can honestly say I was skeptical before I tried it the first time, but it's remarkable how similar they are. Whenever I eat spaghetti squash I get this guilty feeling, and then it's like "Oh, yeah, this is good for me."
