Wasabi Monday

I just got wasabi in my eye. Why I thought it was smart to grab a handful of wasabi peas at 5am before putting in my contacts is a mystery to me – but lesson learned.
After flushing my eye with water, I cooked up a nice breakfast for this rainy Monday morning. First, I sautéed [...]

I started the day with pilates and this trashcan sized mug…

No, not coffee…(although I did have that later, too)

A monster! Of the green variety. Banana, raspberries, spinach, water.

I also had a piece of toast with almond butter about an hour later.

I finally found the jars at Sprouts…where else?

Lunch was light and enjoyable.

Hot water, Mix 1, [...]

Ahh, nothing like a day off of work, and a short week to look forward to.
I started my morning with a nice sunny run, followed by yoga for runners.

After a lot of laundry, cleaning [...]

Inspired by this recipe – I mixed:

½ cup cooked oats
1 banana

Started off this morning early with a 60 minute yoga class from Yoga Today – it was for beginners – and I consider myself a complete beginner – but I was a little frustrated because it was too easy. I kept going because I was waiting for the challenging part, but it never came. Boo.
However, [...]

Today was fairly uneventful which, – in the world of 3rd grade teachers – is a pretty good thing.  My eats, however, were anything but mundane. They were outstanding…and oh so filling.
Lunch was an enormous salad – that kept me full for 4.5 hours.

Bottom to top: raw cabbage, steamed carrots and broccoli, hummus, and spicy [...]

Twenty-Four

In twenty-four hours, I will be at the airport, about to board a plane for Mexico. I am giddy with excitement.
I woke up with some yoga this morning, and I’m about to head off to work to do some organizing and socializing.
I know I will be presented with cakes, cookies, pastries in the staff lounge [...]

One more day, one more day, one more day…

I kept chanting this to myself over and over again today. The kids were vibrating with excess energy. We had a long Christmas concert at the end of the school day, and as you looked across the gym, it was nothing but a sea of wiggles…I swear [...]

I woke up and it was twenty-two degrees BELOW zero. Insanity. I’m moving to Arizona.
Because of the chilly weather – we had a one hour school delay, which means nothing for teachers because we have to be there on time anyway – but I did get an extra hour of plan time chatting with other [...]
