Good-bye Spring Break

So this blog is a continuation of a blog I started on Sunday.......

 I'm not going to do the whole Made to Crave blog today, but today Spring Break is coming to an end, and my feelings are quite mixed about going back tomorrow. Waking up at 5a.m. (or before) is not ideal . . .I haven't opened my eyes before 8a.m. any day on Spring Break. Lazy, I think not. I was resting to prepare for the inevitable: going back. I will definitely need a double K-cup. I am excited for the lessons that I have planned. Spring Break gave me plenty of time to get my creative-lesson-planning-juices flowing to prepare for the week to come. I have six weeks until the special education teacher comes back and I am finished at Howard Roosa. I am sure those 6 weeks will fly by...Then I need to figure out what I will be doing this summer, once subbing comes to and end. Still hoping and praying for a teaching job for next year. I'd appreciate the prayers there.

I have been logging my food on a diary on my IPOD. It is called MyFitnessPal and you can also do it on a Smart Phone or on the computer. I love it! At the beginning it profiles you asking what your height, weight, and ideal weight are.  You enter the food that you eat throughout the day and it tells you  how many calories and how much fat you have consumed, as well as which nutrients you need more of and have had too much of. It has really opened my eyes to the times that I do overeat  and the fact that I use food when I am bored, feel sad, am stressed, etc, etc. Although I have gone over by a few calories almost every day, I know that I am getting closer to eating the amount that I am "supposed to eat."

Robert and Ashlee came over for dinner last night. I made stroganoff and meatballs for the first time. I even blended the mushrooms--per my husband's request. Sure hope our kids do not take after his picky eating habits.  :) I also made angel food cake with pudding icing. Yum. We had a good time!!

Tonight, Tonya and Jordan came over. We had tacos with all kinds of fixings and ah-mazing peanut butter pie that Tonya made. YUM!  Another good night!

Tomorrow night I am having a girls' night. Josh will be in Indianapolis, so let the girlieness begin!

That's all for today!
