Week Two, Day Four

Sorry for the belated post.

I forget how exhausting the first week back for teachers can be.  For me, it's all the excitement of a fresh new year coupled with the enormous undertaking of teaching every individual student at his/her own level with ever-increasing class sizes.  With all of this in addition to trying to make healthy choices, it was a tiring day.

It began well, though.  It was not as hard to get up and go exercise as it was on Tuesday morning.  My right knee has been bothering me all week, but I still want to keep strengthening it, and did what I could at the gym.  (I walked there and back.)  I cooked my breakfast- my ususal omlette with a cup of grapes, and got my vitamins/meds in.

I made sure to get my morning snack in, even though I was eating it during our training.  Lunch was brought in- chips and sandwiches, so I stuck with the taco salad I brought.  No treats in the afternoon today.  Yay!

When I got home and Paul was telling me about his day, I kept falling asleep on the couch.  I was exhausted.  He ran to get a few groceries, and I sacked out instantly.  We had one of our go-to meals that we love- steak and steamed veggies.  I had a couple diet 7ups with the meal- I was thirsty and wanted something flavored.  This weekend, I'll pick up some limes and lemons to start my own flavored water.

For a snack that evening, I had an ounce of cashews, a couple cups of popcorn, about a cup of Baked Lays (they're almost gone), and, yes, one oreo cookie. 

All in all, a pretty successful, albeit tiring, day.
