"  Hey guys! School just started, and my teachers and classes are awesome! Being a senior, I get treated with more respect by teachers and it&amp;#039;s different from previous years. I am unable to go off campus for the next two weeks so I&amp;#039;ve been bringing my own lunch. I pack a pita sandwich of turkey and lettuce and bring carrot sticks or bell peppers to munch on. As Ashley, my trainer, reminded me, I have to balance all my fruit with nuts. Say I have one apple, I need 12 almonds to balance it out. It makes sense, right? Now that school has arrived, I&amp;#039;ve been home an hour earlier since I only have 5 classes. This makes it easier to find time to exercise. We just set our tread mill up in our living room, and I bought 5 lb. weights and have been using those to do some curl ups. I&amp;#039;m still doing the 30 minutes of cardio four days a week too! I walk on the tread mill at 3.5MPH with a 1.5 incline. In the next month I want to come up with more school lunch ideas (I&amp;#039;m pretty sure I&amp;#039;ll get sick of pita and salads pretty quick--anyone have any other ideas?). I am also bringing a 1-liter water bottle with me to school, and manage to finish it throughout the day and then refill it for after school until dinner. It&amp;#039;s an easy way to keep myself hydrated! I also want to take my exercise up a notch and try walking at 4MPH instead of 3.5, or walking at the local sports park. I just got a bike (we don&amp;#039;t live in bike-friendly terrain) and plan on riding it once in a while as a change from walking. I&amp;#039;m thinking of even starting a gym membership so I have access to some classes or weights.  Have fun at school! Don&amp;#039;t get stressed! And make sure you leave your healthy lunch ideas for me below! "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
