I wore my hair down for work today (which is a first...I usually wear it up to keep it out of the bunsen burner....haha....) but to avoid constantly tucking it behind my ears I did a little side braid and clipped my hair to the side of head. It was pretty cute if I do say so myself.
I absolutely love braids! I'm constantly looking to add new braiding techniques to my repertoire, but so far I know how to do a normal braid (duh), fishtail, side braids, and a twirl braid (I forget what it's actually called). I keep meaning to try a french braid on someone but I keep forgetting to try it out.
I had a delicious lunch today, still following the guidelines given by The Program. I had some plain (boring) cereal for breakfast today, so I brought a decent sized lunch.

| PB&Banana sandwich, pita chips, strawberries, and mache salad with ranch dressing |

| This little ziploc tupperware containers are super helpful! For lunches and for the environment... |

| I chose leftover salad from dinner last night instead of my usual carrots I pack in my lunch. |

| Trader Joe's always has the best |
To keep track of what I'm eating, count calories, and see how many servings I've eaten of a food group daily, I keep my special journal thing with me wherever I go. I also use it for random doodling, lists of various things, and whatever comes to my mind. It's actually a lab notebook, but it was a pretty color and I liked how the pages were numbered so I bought it for my own personal non-lab use.
In other news, I'm so excited for the weekend! One of my teammates has a beach house (it is California) so the whole 18U team is going there for the whole weekend! We'll leave Friday after practice and get back Sunday afternoon. I'm so ready to get rid of my horrible swim suit tan, but mostly my cap tan which has progressively been getting worse.
And with that, I'll leave you with my favorite song from last summer which I heard on the radio today for the first time in a while:
