Wednesdays seem to drag on…no? The longest day of the week, followed by my favorite day of the week tomorrow! I started off this long day with a brisk walk (for the doggie’s sake), and a batch of chocolate protein + almond butter. I also took a green monster to school and drank it around … Continue reading »

Jambalaya and a crawfish pie and fillet gumbo…
My day started off with an incredibly energizing and vigorous spin class at 5:30. I can’t even tell you how much I enjoyed myself. Not only was the gym unbelievably nice, but the spin studio was out of control! While spinning (in a room with about 50 bikes!) the instructor put on a movie (muted … Continue reading »
No Such Thing
When the students in my class asked me what I wanted for Christmas, I had the same answer every time. “There is no such thing as too many Starbucks cards” They’re pretty good listeners. I took my cards this morning (really, I only needed one) and went to Starbucks for a grande latte before running … Continue reading »
When I grow up…
First of all, thank you all so much for your incredibly kind comments about the student who transferred out of my class on Tuesday. I can’t tell you how much they meant to me. It sure has been a crazy couple of days. Last night, I came home and literally fell into bed, and slept … Continue reading »
SNOW DAY!!
Yup, it happened. It’s a snow day. I woke up at 5:00, looked out the window and thought… “no way” – there was hardly any snow. However, I checked anyway (hoping for a delay, at best)…and I found out the entire school district is closed. That’s wild. I tried to go back to sleep, but … Continue reading »
Top Ten
I’ve been pretty bored with my own posts/eating lately – so I’m mixing it up. I present to you…my top 10 foods, and how I like to eat them. In order… #1: A is for Apple Maybe it’s because I’m a teacher. Maybe it’s just a fantastic coincidence. Either way, I love big, crispy, juicy … Continue reading »
Nothing wrong with toast
After an invigorating bike ride this morning, I was craving yogurt. But I know my metabolism, and yogurt doesn’t usually cut it until lunch time, so I added some fun things. About a cup of plain yogurt 1 handful (about 5) grapes – cut in half 1 scoop chocolate protein powder 2 tbs. Nature’s Path … Continue reading »
Nourishment
Woke up this morning to clouds and fog. At first I was kind of excited, since there is no running on Sundays, I could just curl up on the couch with some coffee and enjoy it. But, then the coffee went berserk, and I was cold, and the house was a mess and I felt … Continue reading »
Yes, I want lettuce wraps.
I spent the better part of my day dealing with an angry parent. Grrr. That is by far the worst part of my job. I try to remember that I am not a parent yet, and I remind myself that if/when I am – I will probably act like the seemingly nutty parents of my … Continue reading »
Monday, Monday
Remember how yesterday I said that if I had plain yogurt and a chocolate Odwalla bar… my breakfast would be stellar? Well, look who was hiding in the back of the pantry… plus 1/2 cup plain yogurt, a splash of vanilla, cinnamon and chopped almonds = Ah, perfection in the form of breakfast. What a … Continue reading »
