It’s all up to me

As a teacher I truly love conference time but I also hate it b/c life is crazy for 2 days.  Here’s a recap of Wednesday/Thursday.

I was all psyched to have my pizza and then we ended up having turkey sandwiches.  Great, actually, b/c that is healthier.  Didn’t do too badly w/food the rest of the night.

Thursday morning we didn’t have to be at school until 9:30 so I was able to get up at a normal hour to workout.  I did a FIRM workout and as I was doing a lunge I noticed that my left knee was tender.  I didn’t hurt it, it just felt puffy, like there was fluid in there.  It happens every once in a while and as long as I baby it things go away in a couple of hours or the next day.  We are having a change in our weather (for the better, it was 75 yesterday ) so I think my knee has turned into a barometer.  Anyway, it was all downhill after the good workout.  I was very hungry all day, and I realize, too, that I was bored.  Plus, it’s TOM and I was off my regular schedule and everyone knows how much I crave my schedule.  So here’s the damage:

• one bag of trail mix for a snack
• Wendy’s buffalo chicken combo w/fries
• a bag of Reese’s Pieces
• a bag of dark chocolate M&M’s
• 2 little chocolate chip bars sold at the bake sale
• a foot-long subway club
• 3 subway pb cookies
• 1 Halloween size starburst pack
• 1 sf chocolate pudding w/whipped topping

YIKES!!!  So I have vowed to make today a perfect day.  We don’t have school so I will have to be very regimented about my eating.  My knee is still a bit sore but I know how to modify things so I can still workout.  After I have worked out I’ll post to update my goal and report on how I’m doing.

Progress toward workout goal:  87/250
