Jenn's Tip of the Day:

Eat 3 meals a day (only snack if it's really needed).  If you eat less than 3 meals a day you might end up overeating at meals.  Who doesn't eat too much food too fast when their starving?  Seriously!  I used to be able to shove it in pretty fast back in the day.  It would often only take me 10 minutes to eat, but then 20 minutes later I would be miserable.  

Yes, I am guilty of not eating my 3 meals a day on occasion.  Since I slept through the morning hours I didn't eat breakfast today.  There were calories and protein in the unsweetened soymilk that was in my coffee so it sort of counts.  When I made my dinner plate I was thinking about the possibility of enjoying some pistachios this evening if I'm still hungry.  Thinking of them made me realize that I'll need to save some room because I will NOT overeat.  Portion control is a huge key in my dieting success.

I slept a lot last night… probably a good 11 hours.  Apparently I was pretty tired.  I lounged around for a good chunk of the early afternoon and then hit the gym which felt great.  I needed to go for a long run today, but I just couldn't bring myself to get out there and run.  I was feeling a little blue because today was "Black Monday" for 4th year Medical Students.  It became very real that we'll be dealing with finding out whether or not David matches to a Residency Program at this very time next year.  It's overwhelming, terrifying, and exciting all at the same time.
