I can't believe I haven't blogged in almost two weeks.  Anyway, I am glad to link up with Farley's Currently.


I am sitting in bed and listening to the sound of the fan spinning.  I figured if I got up and started doing some things on the computer while sitting in bed it is closer to sleeping in than getting out of bed.

I LOVE my Australian Shepherd, Nala. She always makes me smile. :)

I did bootcamp Saturday morning and then yoga yosterday. Every muscle in my legs hurt.

I need to figure out what I want for breakfast.  I have been avoiding grocery shopping the last few days so we have no food.  (When I get really stressed, I avoid things.)

I went up to school yesterday and finished organizing my classroom. School starts for me tomorrow. I need to go up today and do some finishing touches and some lesson planning. Below is the start of my bulletin board.  I need to add colored paper for the place for where I will display all student work.  I love how using ribbon border turned out though.  I don't think I will ever go back to regular border. I like the rubbon a lot more.

My goal all year has been balance.  I have been doing hot yoga for several years now.  I find yoga helps me destress and stretch out the tension. This is my 200 class wristband I just received. It took me several years to get it, so I am proud of finally reaching that goal.  I generally have only averaged going once or twice a week so it took me much longer to get there than some people do.

I have been doing a bootcamp fitness class for a couple months now.  I absolutely love it!  I am getting stronger, and it is never boring. I just show up and someone tells me what kind of workout to do. I do much better with accountability.  Even with yoga I try to get friends to go with me because I do much better with that accountability of someone is meeting me there. 

With lots of working out, I know I need more rest.  I also am starting my PhD this semester, so between school, graduate school, and working out I know rest is going to make a difference in my sanity. The other thing I try to do for myself is pack bento lunches.  I find if I pack a healthy lunch with variety all in the same container I eat better.  Lately, I have been packing a lot of veggie wraps with spinach, veggies, and hummus on a tortilla. Somehow salad on a tortilla seems more appealing than actual salad does at lunch time.
