The Plan

For one of my classes, I am assigned to write the nutrition tip of the week. It goes out to all of the participants in UCO's Employee Wellness Program. The program is run by the senior classes of the nutrition and kenesiology departments. Each participant gets a fitness coach and nutrition coach, that are exclusively their own until the semester runs out. (That means I get my very own teacher to coach!! Woot!) Did I mention that this program is free for employees? ...what a cool deal.

Anyway, in addition to coaching my person, I have an extra job in the class, and that is to send out that tip of the week on behalf of the nutrition department here at UCO. Well, I thought it would be fun to put those tips on my blog each week, as well. As a fun little project.

P.S. No, if you were wondering, I don't get graded based on if my teacher looses weight or not. That would just suck really bad and I would either end up stalking them to starvation or trying to find some way to give them the flu. My grade is just based on my end of the effort.

Well, be expecting that to start a couple weeks from now!!!!

Back to the books

School has officially begun! I'm taking 4 classes...2 of which are capstone classes!
In order of time demand and personal dread...
1_Institutuional Food Managment (capstone)
2_Biochem II
3_Advanced Nutrition (capstone)
4_World Foods & Culture

If all goes according to plan, I should be outa here by DECEMBER!!!

On another note, I didn't invest in a decal for my car this year, with the intentions of forcing myself to walk to school everyday for some extra exercise! Good plan, right!? It most definately IS (..until its less than 12 degrees outside and  all of the sudden your wearing 2 pair of pants, 2 long sleave shirts,outerwear and a pair of your sisters old ski socks that she left behind) But in all honesty, I still like not having to find a parking spot... and some people who do, actually park their cars further away than I live!

I hope everyone enjoys their new semester/new year!!
