Day 09 - Something you're proud of In The Past Few Days

I am proud of the fact that I completed my first Collegiate Cross Country season!
I am proud of the fact that I am doing good on grades as of right now,
and I am proud that I am completely and utterly happy.

Today was a homework day and now i must go to class!

Oh we got a nutritionist to talk to our team yesterday and it was very informative I learned that for every meal (even breakfast) you need something from at least 3 food groups.  I learned I need to eat at least a snack every 3 hours, if its been three hours since the last time I ate i should have a snack.  She gave us all the good healthy snacks to have and a plate with portion sizes of how much of our diet should be carbs (50%) Proteins (20) and Heathy fats (30%)  She also told us things in the cafeteria that are good to eat like baked sweet potatoes (which is what i had for dinner after our talk).  It was informative and also exciting to go to the store and buy the stuff on the list.  I wasn't too far off from what she told us to be eating as I already eat about those portions.  The only thing I wasnt doing was snacking.  I need to have a snack between lunch and dinner so my dinners are not so heavy.  Also since training is about to be in the afternoon next semester a snack between those two meals is essential!  I learned a lot and love talking about nutrition and going to the store and finding foods that will enhance my performance as much as possible!
