The End is Near

Posted on February 4, 2010 | 8 Comments

Last night we got a wonderful surprise from my in-laws!  A gorgeous set of linens for our new bed.

Here is what our bed looked like:

We desperately needed something new and colorful.

And now we have something:

It was so wonderful to sleep in! Super soft and luxurious.

We are happy…..

This morning after the wonderful night of rest in our bed, I started with this:

I love drinking coffee with soy creamer in bed while catching up on blogs.

Then Pepsi and I ventured out for our second run this week.  I am so proud of us.  I owe some of my motivation to my blog friends for sure!  All of you and specifically Berni and Mariposa Girl!  Berni is running a half this weekend-I hope to do one in the near future.  It has been too long since I ran a half.

Then I donned my runners (again) and walked to work. Love it! It is such a stress relief and a good time to catch up with friends.

Had breakfast at my desk:

Had my snack a few hours later (almond butter, organic jelly on a rice cake):

Lunch was leftovers and an apple and orange:

Between 5th and 6th period I ate one of my homemade vegan energy bars.

I hope to make some sautéed vegetables of some sort for dinner.  Not exactly sure what is on the menu just yet.

I am off to the bike shop.  “Tabitha” (my bike) needs some TLC.

The end is near-tomorrow is Friday!

Super happy for the weekend. 

I hope to get a pedicure-it has been too long. 

We are also meeting friends at our favorite wine bar Saturday night.  Not sure what else is going on but so far it looks good.

Do you have any fun plans?

How Do You Eat Healthy?

Posted on January 22, 2010 | 5 Comments

Today I woke up not as energetic as I usually am.  I think all the rain and all the meetings have finally gotten to me. 

Usually I have just one cup of coffee with soy creamer.  Today I knew I was in trouble when a second cup was needed to get me going:

I think just knowing I was in for yet another training in a flourescent lit room made it tough to get going for the day. 

Yup here is the room:

I know sitting all day is hard for everyone but I think it is especially hard for teachers.  We are so used to moving around all day.  The thought of sitting for another day was making me crazy!

Anyway, on days like this when I know they are going to provide breakfast and lunch I always bring my own snacks just in case. 

This is what they had for breakfast:

This is actually not so bad.  At least there were no costco muffins!  I still chose to eat this:

I think I may have converted some people to green monsters!

I was very “snacky”  all day due to boredom.

I ate this:

Lunch was served at noon and they provided us with various subway sandwich boxes.  The boxes contained a sandwich, chips, and cookie.

I chose the veggie sandwich.  There were not many veggies on it! I did not eat the chips or cookie.

After lunch I snacked on an unpictured homemade energy bar.

Now I am home after having a lovely glass of cabernet with my friend, Jamie. 

Thanks Jamie!

I can’t wait to dig into my dinner:

I was wondering…..

How do you eat healthy in these types of situations?

Do you “wing it”  or do you bring all your own food?
