Getting back to work definitely helps, since I'm pretty busy these days. I've set a personal goal for myself to be on-campus from 9-5 every weekday. I don't teach on Mondays, so I have eight hours that day to get work done.

I get to my office building a little before 9 and go to the café on the ground floor for my daily special: a big cup of ice. Twenty-two cents, and the ice lasts through the first two refills of water. I sit at my desk, check my e-mail, and have a cup of yogurt. I'm totally in love with Yoplait Thick and Creamy light yogurts. I love fruit but I'm kind of picky about fruit-in-yogurt. It's a consistency thing. Peaches and apples good, blueberries and strawberries bad, etc. But I love blueberries and strawberries! So the Thick and Creamy yogurts are great. My favorites are blueberry pie, cherry cobbler, and cinnamon roll. Their regular (non-thick) light yogurts are good too - I like apricot mango, apple turnover, and banana cream pie.
I teach one class in the morning, then come back to my office for an hour before teaching two more classes in the afternoon. I use this hour for lunch - usually a small container of leftovers or a Weight Watchers frozen meal, and more water.

After my afternoon classes, I have two hours to work on whatever I need to get done before the next day. I keep sipping at some water, but I usually feel hungry around 3:30 or 4, so I make sure I have some smart snacks on hand. My recent favorite are these cocoa roasted almonds from Emerald. They satisfy so many needs - crunchy, sweet, chocolatey - and best of all, they're pretty filling for a 100 calorie pack! They kind of taste like chocolate Teddy Grahams, which is pretty amazing, I think. It's just what I need to get me through the afternoon!
