Big day
Today was a big day in our household. My hubby turned 40, he started back to classes (what a great gift), our son started kindergarten and I had the first day with my students. Fortunately everything went well. I was worried that our son would be teary when I dropped him off at the before-school daycare but when we got there about 7 little boys were playing. He couldn’t get away from me fast enough. I barely got a quick kiss and a “See you later, Mom.” I did tear up a little in the van as I was driving away but I’m glad he’s excited for school.
My 1st day w/kids was good as well. I think that at least 2 of my class periods are going to be challenging due to 3 different kids. A few of them tried to get into a pissing match with me today and I’m glad to say that I came out on top in every situation. It’s a small victory and I know that there will be others that I lose but it’s nice to start the year on a good note.
I think one problem I’m going to face is the time around my lunch/prep period. It’s a good problem to have but I have 2 classperiod back-to-back when I don’t have students. I ate my lunch today and was still hungry. Normally, my lunch fills me up so I’m hoping I was just extra-hungry, but I’m worried that if this continues that I will face a challenge b/c I would actually have time to eat something else. I’ll just have to monitor things and make a plan if I continue to be hungry.
Tonight I restricted myself to 40 minutes on the treadclimber b/c I think my feet will become a problem again if I don’t take it easy. Then I was on the bike for 20 and did about 10 minutes of abs before I went home.
Progress toward workout goal: 37/250
talking back already? how many days into the school year are you? glad you came out on top of that!
Glad to hear you won your contest!
They sure start young and early in the year, don’t they? Good work on the exercise. Do you use your planning period to plan or is this truly free time? Maybe you could take a quick walk around the school or something to help with your eating.
Happy back to school week!
You are a stronger person than me with all the exercise you are doing! I cannot wait till I start. I am still working on getting me an MP3 player, I KNOW that will help me start exercising. I don’t know how long hubby will get away with the comment…I am sure it will get brought up in some way or other.
Good luck with the classes. Hold strong with the little toots.
I , too, sometimes get hungry out of all the sudden. I have a great snack though that I can carry with me at all the times and that is highly nutricious and fills me up- PINE NUTS! If you look at how much protein these little sucker have its just crazy. Half of a hanful, some water and you will be good to go - just try it :). Dont do more than half handful though- they are pretty high in calories. However every bit of a nutrient in those nuts will be oh so good for you.
dang girl. great job on all that exercise. way to show us all up!
