That’s all I have to say.  mmmmmmm

 I missed breakfast and lunch today - it’s the first week of the new semester and I’ve got new students, new classroom layout, new objectives for the lab… and all that newness means a lot of work, and that means no time to EAT! 

So when I came home today I made myself breakfast - a glass of fat free milk and a peanut butter and banana sandwich on toast.

Lunch will be for dinner, and apparently I’ll be short on calories today because I’m not staying up late enough to eat a third meal.  I’ll be asleep by 8 - racked out on the baby’s bedroom floor.  That’s where I was last night.  How pathetic is that?  Can’t even stay awake long enough to get to my own bed after getting the baby to bed.

Then I’ll be up at 4:30 to get some exercise because that is the only time of day I have.  I think I’ll make myself another peanut butter and banana sandwich to eat while I’m walking.  Then I’ll at least have had BREAKFAST, for once!

I’ve decided to look for a job closer to home when the contracts come up in March.  I love the job I have, I love the challenge of trying to help the kids who need the help the most, but it is draining and I hate having to leave my house so early to get to work.  I’m applying at my kids’ high school, which is only about a mile from my home, and looking into the daycare that is closer to my neighborhood.  I just think it would make life that much easier for all of us.

Still eating the veggies and drinking the water, but I’m a little bloated because last night we celebrated a bit and we had pizza and I had a beer (oh and it was awesome to have hot pizza and cold beer!)  So today I’m still aiming for persistently following my plan.  No more celebrating for a while.
