How are ya? I'm well on my way to getting into PA (physician assistant) school, fingers crossed! First step: Passed Nursing Aide test. Let me tell you that exam was one of the most annoying/aggravating/painful experiences of my liiiiife!
The written portion of the exam lasted from 8-8:30am. Next they had us wait in a room to be called for our Skills portion of our test. We were told not to leave the room in case they call our names. I was called at 4:30pm! Yes, I waited in a classroom with NO FOOD, book, computer, etc. for 8 HOURS! I felt like I was in detention. After taking the skills exam which lastest about 25 mins, I had to drive 4 hours home (which took 6 due to traffic). Ahhhh, what a day! Sorry for the rant :)
The trip wasn't allll bad I did pass the exam aaaaand order some room service. Friday night I ordered a class of Shriaz and piece of chocolate cake. You bet I ate it in my whirlpool bathtub. Yep, I felt like I was straight out of a movie :) For a wake up call, I ordered some fruit, coffee, and tomato juice to accompany my oats and protein breakfast:
Unsure what the food situation would be, I packed some regular oats and a baggy containing SunWarrior protein to mix in. SO GLAD I ate a big breakfast considering I wasn't able to eat for 10 more hours!
Did you know you can steam hot H20 in your coffee maker? haha...Maybe I'm the only one..

Once I arrived back in the District I had to snap this pic to show you the craziness that is Georgetown Cupcakes:
Ever since the show DC Cupcakes aired, Georgetown Cupcake has become NUTS! This picture shows about 1/10th of the line and was taken at 10pm on a Saturday!
When did cupcakes become so trendy?????
Today I woke to a delicious Strawberry-Pineapple Green Monster Smoothie:
Vanilla SunWarrior, frozen strawberries, frozen pineapple, 2 huuuge hand fulls spinach, ice, h20, stevia, 1/2 tsp xanthan gum (to thicken), pinch sea salt. Yummm.

I was craving a weights sesh at the gym. I took a BodyPump class and it did the trick. Has anyone tried the new BodyPump series?? I think it's BodyPump 74?? Well, it's HARD! The lunge and triceps tracks are killer!!
I met my friend Alyson for lunch at Chop't, my favorite salad place.
Mmm.
Speaking of good eats, here are two recent favorites I've made within the last week...
Healthified Mac N' Cheese:
Diced medium-firmness Tofu (~1/6 block), 1/4 cup oats, 2 tbsp Nutritional Yeast, ~2 tbsp shredded lite cheddar cheese, mixed frozen veggies, sea salt, pepper & topped with hot sauce.
Chocolate Protein Pancakes:
1 scoop Chocolate SunWarrior, 1/3 cup egg whites, 2 tbsp PB Flour, 1 heaping tbsp spelt flour, 1/2 mashed banana, stevia, dash sea salt, 1/2 tsp baking powder. Topped with a PB smear and 1 tbsp organic maple syrup. Perfection, I tell ya.
Alright I'm off to volunteer with some kiddos then take a spinning class with Alyson. Happy Monday!
