I'm Back...

I haven't blogged in DAYS. I'm having a problem with internet on my laptop, but now that I've uninstalled AIM and updated a few things, it seems to be keeping connection for more than one minute!

I haven't done the best with food choices over the weekend, Danielle and I discussed our small issues and I think, once again, we're over them. There are bumps in this road but we aren't stopping and that's what counts. I can't recall everything I've had since I blogged last but I did make some great choices for breakfast and lunch... usually its later in the day that messes me up. Today was different...

I started off with a wheat bagel with whipped cream cheese (less calories) for breakfast... I just have a thing for bagels in case you haven't noticed. I have them a few times a week, but I try not to have them every morning. I like to mix it up with yogurt and peaches mixed together. Anyway, for lunch I had one slice of ham and one slice of cheese on whole wheat flat bread which I'm finding has a funny aftertaste... maybe it will be better toasted. I also had 100 calorie pop corn from the school store (haha) and yogurt with fruit on the bottom. When I came home from school I had a 100 calorie pack of Lorna Doone shortbread cookies- YUM! My mom made a delicious dinner with pieces of chicken, basil, rice (should have been brown but no one else likes it), string beans and crushed tomato. It was amazing. I had one helping, and tried to eat more of the chicken and string beans as opposed to the rice.

Tonight I was all ready to workout for an hour and a half- I finished dinner early, had a cup of coffee- I was ready to go! The damn lights go out just as I was getting ready to change into workout gear. GRRRRRRR! The lights didn't come on until much later (I thought it was earlier since our clocks were all messed up.) When I realized what time it really was, we decided it was a bit late. Ugh. I had so much to do to get ready for tomorrow-- I'm going to meet my first official class!!! AHHH! I'm getting so excited just thinking about it! They are expecting me around 10 o'clock so I'm going to get up nice and early to be prepared. I want to bring a notebook and everything so I can take notes and make observations about the children. =)

I better get some rest, if I can sleep!! Goodnight.

Three things I'm thankful for:

1) Danielle for not giving up!
2) Every teacher I've ever had for making a difference in my life =)
3) My mom for continuing to support me <3
