These last couple months have flown by \u2013 now there are only a few more weeks of this semester and I\u2019m off for holidays! While I\u2019m looking forward to Christmas, I have to say that I really love school. I\u2019m already looking forward to coming winter semester in January.<\/p>\n

Here are some bits and pieces of my life lately (via Instagram)\u2026<\/p>\n

\"Soup<\/p>\n

I\u2019m happy to say that I\u2019ve only bought from the cafeteria once (yay!) and I’ve been packing my lunch every day. It doesn’t have to be a boring sandwich every day. On Tuesday I packed some delicious cauliflower soup (from the amazing Pioneer Woman’s cookbook<\/a>) that my sister made. It was such a warm and cozy lunch!<\/p>\n

\"Study<\/p>\n

I loved learning about the muscles of the body \u2013 lots of memorization, but so fascinating! In anatomy\/bio we\u2019ve now moved onto histology\u2026not quite as much fun.<\/p>\n

\"Warm<\/p>\n

There are some really practical classes too, and I just finished writing a paper which mentioned about how important it is to warm up. I even wrote a post about my favourite warm up moves<\/a>. It\u2019s funny how I never used to worry too much about warming up, but now I never start a workout without some dynamic stretching.<\/p>\n

\"Vega<\/p>\n

Somehow I was one of the winners to Vega\u2019s Energizing Smoothie<\/a> contest, which was a surprise. Now I\u2019m happily stocked with some of my favourite products for quite a while now\u2026happy, happy.<\/p>\n

\"Low<\/p>\n

I\u2019m still doing a lot of low carbing and I love it. With a little creativity, I’m thankful I can still enjoy some of my favourite treats (hello Starbucks!) low carb.I deal with a lot less cravings and I feel so good when I eat this way. This makes it almost 2 \u00bd\u00a0 months since I’ve eaten gluten, so I\u2019m still going strong (and I barely miss it!).<\/p>\n

\"Workout<\/p>\n

Did I mention how much I love working out at the gym? Seriously, it\u2019s one of the best things ever. I know most of you hang out at the gym all the time\u2026but as a country girl, I never had a gym close by, so I did my own workouts at home just by running, workout DVDs, and lots of sports. Now, I really love being able to target train my whole body with machines (or free weights). It\u2019s another source of happy.<\/p>\n

Hope you have a fabulous day rejoicing in all that God has given us!<\/p>\n
