When I was teaching, I used to eat dinner around 5 o’clock. I’d come home starving, make dinner and eat it as fast as I could. But these days, I’m lucky if it’s 8 o’clock before I get to sit down and eat. That’s going to make for some bad photo lighting come wintertime, but … Continue reading »

Early Morning
I think God is preparing me for those midnight feedings and diaper changes. I woke up at 2:30 this morning – unable to go back to sleep. At 3:00am, I finally decided to get up and go work out. There’s no time like the present, right? Warm-Up: 2 rounds of: walk 200 m, 5 air … Continue reading »
Easy Peasy Monday
We didn’t have kiddos at school…professional development day. Even though I had to work all day, it almost felt like an extra day of the weekend –no complaints for my Monday. Workout Breakfast 1 cup coconut milk, 2 handfuls spinach, 1 scoop protein powder, 12 ice cubes, 1 banana Lunch – (I got to come … Continue reading »
Kitchen Creation
I haven’t touched my computer in over 36 hours. It’s been glorious. Among other things, I’ve been busy in the kitchen today. Meeker agreed that this veggie/orzo kitchen creation was blog-worthy. To start… I cut up the first set of veggies: bell peppers, eggplant, red onion, zucchini, and garlic. Then, tossed them with about 2 … Continue reading »
Squished
I turned on the air conditioning in my car today. In February. I don’t even use my air conditioning in July. Baby Cakes is making me hot, and, as someone who is freezing cold 90% of the time, I love it. Breakfast Pinova apple and my homemade nut butter We had ½ cup(ish) each of … Continue reading »
Valentine’s Day Picnic
One of my students told me he could see my baby’s head ‘in my stomach’ today. Hmmm….I can’t see any features. Just a big ol’ belly. (I only have eight weeks until Baby Cakes is considered ‘full term’ – can you believe it? I can’t wait to meet her.) Breakfast Udi’s bread, toasted with Earth … Continue reading »
Dynamite Dinner
This dinner kind of happened by accident when I came home tonight. I started with just the cous-cous, but then realized some veggies would be nice. When I had finished that, I envisioned an egg on top of the whole mess – and voila, a dynamite dinner. Oh yeah, I put a spicy mustard + … Continue reading »
Smooth Sailing
No complaints about today – everything has been pretty smooth sailing this week. And that’s a great thing. Breakfast Eaten at school. A baggie full of Puffins, and Fage Greek Yogurt with honey. The honey was kind of hard, so I ended up just eating the yogurt plain, and snacking on the cereal throughout the … Continue reading »
Competent
Everyone always told me, teaching gets easier after your first year. But it didn’t. I figured I was just doomed for a profession that sucked the life out of me and required 60 hours of work each week. But, it seems I’ve turned a corner! The third year is a lot easier! A significant change … Continue reading »
Tattle Turtle
Happy Monday! I hope you all had good ones. I started mine off with level 2 of the thirty day shred. I hadn’t done this in months, and I was surprised by how much strength I maintained. Speaking of strength…remember my push-up challenge? When I started, I couldn’t do a single push up, and I … Continue reading »
