Hello, Hello!!! How is your Humpday going? Mine is FLYING by! I worked and worked and broke for lunch around noon. I had a few things I wanted to get done, so I worked through my lunch. I had a delightful little lunch 
I had a peppered turkey sandwich on a whole wheat tortilla with goat cheese, hummus, cucumbers and hummus. On the side I had a kiwi (sliced) and some cheese soy crisps.
I love kiwi and I totally eat the skin…it is like an exfoliant for the throat 
At 1pm, I headed to a undergrad class to proctor an exam. The students were so confused, they thought I was an undergrad student myself. Then they thought I was the youngest professor they had ever met. It was quiet entertaining. After proctoring, I grabbed an organic coffee at one of the University cafeterias. I am dragging today, but luckily I get to relax a little tonight and I am looking forward too it, I need it so badly!
“Ask Me Anything” Questions:
Q: Have you answered every question you’ve received? I’m sure you’ve received some crazy ones!
A: Very funny you ask this. For the most part, yes I have answered everything I have gotten. However, there were a few (about 5%) of the questions that were a little too weird/personal for me to answer. For example: questions about my sex life (i.e. likes and dislikes and frequency) and the age I was when I started menstruating (totally bizarre). Both of those I actually received this morning.
But, overall, yes I have answered pretty much all questions and most of them have been good. I have gotten a LOT of repeat questions and I did not keep answering them over and over again.
Q: I recently started body pump and am trying to do it as often as I can but lately it’s only been twice a week. I was wondering how long did it take you to notice changes in your body if there were any? Did you find adding strength training to your work outs helped you lose more weight then just cardio alone? Thanks!
A: I hope you are loving BP!!!! Well, I can’t really give you the answer you want because I didn’t start doing BP until September 2009. By that point I had actually lost all the weight. I have no lost any weight since about August of 2009, I am exactly where I want to be. I have noticed that BP had toned me even more than I was before. I would say I noticed it after a couple months.
I can say that I did weight train on my own when I was loosing weight and yes, I think it helps. I never did just cardio when trying to loose weight, I always did both cardio and weight training and I think doing both was really beneficial. Hope that helps!
Q: What does your work space look like?
A: Here is a picture as a whole:

I love your blog! And I love the daily outfit pics! So cute:)
weird… i totally had sliced kiwi with lunch today sans skin…a fruit that is normally never found in my house. And you EAT the skin?? LOL!! Throat exfoliant.
How fun….this is my first time coming to your blog.
I like it!
my desk is for the most part pretty organized. i’ve seen how yours looks with stacks and stacks of paper on it. it amazes me how it can still be pretty tidy for the most part. how do you stay neat in times of craziness in the office?
Confession: I AM ANAL RETENTIVE! I live to be organized. I love all things organization (bins, planners ect.) My life is so hectic that I need things to be organized or I will go CRAZY! I make it a priority, for my own sanity. It helps to make sure everything has it’s place.
Does your throat need exfoliating?
Your story cracks me up! I am a professor and am under 30, but luckily teach online. I have only run into one student in-person before and they were shocked to find out how young I am! I NEVER mention it to my classes, as I prefer them not to know. I know if I were say 46 taking online classes I wouldn’t want to find out some 20-somthing was teaching me!
Oh, and I didn’t know that Kiwi skin was even edible, or at least never thought of it! Interesting!

Your office space is so cute!!! I love it!!!
Hey Ali,
Does your sandwich get soggy in the tortilla when you make it the night before? That happens to me, and I can’t stand a soggy (over-hydrated
) tortilla/wrap! Bleck!
