Fresh Start

Day 2

Breakfast 

This morning I woke up at 6:30 am in order to prepare myself to get ready for my internship. I was exhausted from school and work, and didn't get the chance to eat breakfast until 9am. Like I was saying previously before, I'm use to skipping meals but I made it a priority to get something in my system. As soon as I ate this small breakfast I gained energy to push myself through the day. Also, as a side note, the fact that I used only four packs of sugar was very shocking. This is a terrible confession, but I put a lot of sugar in my tea. The only reason why I used brown sugar is because that was the only choice of sugar I had. I know its healthier, but it didn't taste the same at all if I were to use regular sugar (white sugar). 

Also, tea is healthy. Well at least I was taught that when I was growing up and I love to drink different varieties. However, pouring multiple cups of sugar into my cup eliminates the healthy factors that tea is associated with. Don't judge me, I'm working on it! 

My breakfast consisted of:

• (2) yoplait yogurts original preach flavor 
• (4) packages of RAW brown sugar 
• Earl Gray tea bag 
• Hot water 

Lunch 

I was able to go home today after my internship and get some home cooked food ! It was great. Even though this dish is one of my favorites, I didn't consume as much as I usually would because I was in a rush to get to class. However, on a positive note, I did see a difference after I finished eating. I wasn't extremely full, but satisfied. My lunch consisted of:

• White rice (2 cups) with a pinch of salt.
• Fresh salmon (2 -3 ounces broken up) 
• Fresh Peppers, onions, parsley, and garlic.
• Tomato's 
• I used some Salmon broth front the can 3-3/4 oz
• Ketchup (2 tablespoons) for flavor. 
• Sazon and Lawry's seasoning for color and flavor. 

Dinner 

Dinner at Manhattanville College is always something that I usual do not look forward to, only because I love my mothers home cooking. Nonetheless, dinner was pretty good I kept it simple and healthy. One aspect about my nutrition that I did not mention is that I love vegetables and fruit. As you can see I placed more mixed vegetables on my plate than meat. The noodles with the sauce was great as well, even though I could've eased up on the amount of sauce I put on it. My dinner consisted of: 

• Infused watermelon water. 
• Corn, peas, carrots. 
• Beef (about 10 sliced pieces. Manhattanville gives small portions to help with students portion sizes I believe, but I am still hungry after I finish my plate. I usually go for seconds. 
• Noodles and alfredo sauce. I placed about 3 tablespoons into this bowl.
