So many of you write fabulous food journal posts that show your readers what you’re eating each day. Not only does this help keep you accountable for what you eat, but it gives us (your readers) great meal ideas.
Up to this point I haven’t done any photo food journals because of the time it takes. [...]

I’ve finished the first week of school, and I have some mixed feelings about it. School itself is great – the classes and students are awesome, for the most part, and I’m looking forward to getting to know them so much better as the year continues. I’m excited about trying some new lessons this year [...]

On Monday evening, after my first “teacher day” day at school, which started at 5:20am, I went to my training appointment at 6pm and I was really looking forward to it because we were doing MEASUREMENTS!
As you know, the scale hasn’t been the best indicator of all of the work I’ve been putting in, so [...]

One great thing about being back at school this week? I’m burning tons of calories!!
Yesterday I burned 2156 calories by 4:15pm, without really doing that much. Just walking around the school from the main office to my classroom, to other teachers’ classrooms, etc I took 5162 steps. That’s a lot more than I normally get [...]

Today is my last day of summer. School starts on Tuesday, and tomorrow I have to be at school at 8am for our “teacher day.” (meetings, getting the room organized, copying my syllabus, etc). *Sigh*
Lately in the WW meetings, and even in some of your comments, there has been this recurring theme of how difficult [...]

This week, I had seen great results at my un-official weigh-ins mid week. Because I knew this was going to be my first evening weigh-in, I wanted to see what the home scale said this morning, as well, just so I could get an idea of what I accomplished this week (to be better able [...]

Before I tell you about the delicious lunch I just enjoyed, I have to apologize for the poor quality of the photos. I took them in a fairly dark room (it’s hot today, and I have the blinds a bit closed to keep the heat out). Still, I think you can get the idea.
The components [...]

Today, this is exactly how I feel! Whew!
I wanted to post a quick update between appointments to tell you about what torture Jimmy had in store for me today.
Since we didn’t workout last week (I cancelled two appointments because I was feeling under the weather), today was deemed “cardio day.” Ugh. What does cardio day [...]

This week is going to be CR-AZY! That’s ok, though, because I’m thinking of it as a “dress rehearsal” for my school days (aka daze) when everything starts to get a lot busier.
Some highlights since last week:
I tried Zumba and really enjoyed it, although I felt like I was taking a different class than [...]
