    I'd love to join this group. I'm a sophomore in college, and as I'm a science major, my life basically consists of homework and lab. On top of working two jobs to pay for school and living with a roommate I absolutely hate, stress definitely gets the best of my healthy efforts sometimes.

    On the bright side, I did manage to find time to get to the gym today (while my roommate was sleeping...as she always does) and run/walk 3.25 miles. I want to cover 100 miles by Christmas.

    i just broke my laptop screen last night (my roommate has an old monitor though, so i have my laptop hooked up to that, haha) so that is added stress onto my BIOCHEM STRESS AGHHH.

    but in good news, i burned more calories on the eliptical at the gym today than ever before - 390 in 33 minutes!

    I just decided that it was time to start backing up what I was planning on doing since I started college. I would suggest going to workout first thing in the morning so you can get it out of the way.

    Two miles in 14:45 today, new fastest ever. Runner's high felt so good. haha

    I'm a student too. Fun.

    I think regarding buying healthy stuff...

    fruit and veg is brill, but if its too expensive go to supermarkets at weird times or days, like sundays, or a weekday evening, because the supermarket is more likely to have 'reduced to clear' items, usually fruit and veg, i also find they have a lot of bread (i wait til sundays to buy my bread - as its usually reduced to about 9p! and then just freeze it) with the veg, that is potentially going off or bad, you can make a soup or a casserole with it, make a large batch and freeze some, its healthy plus you get a good couple of meals out of them. You can also make dips for tortilla chips (very studenty) and sauces.

    pasta - cheap, filling, a regular portion size with a tomato based sauce, rather than a cheesey one, is healthy.

    eggs - relatively cheap and you can do so much with them. Midnight omelettes are lovely!

    i'll think of more ideas im sure.

    I'd love to join in on this. Full-time student and full-time worker. School starts on Monday, so I'm afraid of what it'll do to me, BUT I'm excited for some fitness classes that the gym offers! I'll do them, work permitting.
