Day 8 Was Great!

Ok first of all, I officially am a student teacher :) My first day was WONDERFUL, and I know this is going to be a great experience. Hence, the rhyme in the title. LOL Raise the roof! Raise the roof! (I think only mom and dad will get that one, lol, they heard every detail of my day)

Today was also a little rough on the realization of what it's like to be a teacher. Yikes. I have a total of 20 minutes to eat lunch. Talk about a major challenge! I asked my cooperating teacher how she does it. Her answer: I eat quick foods. Chewy bars. Yogurt. Quick and easy! Me: I'm sorry I'm choking on my sandwich here trying to eat it quick enough. LOL

I did have a good eating day today, though, and definitely on the exercise portion. I am physically and emotionally exhuasted! I started off my day with an egg, made by none other but my mom! :) I made this super yummy and filling lunch, unfortunately it would take WAY too long to eat it. So I got in my sandwich, my yogurt, and a grand total of 5 sunchips. :) Immediately following student teaching I had to go to my student teaching seminar, where there was more food that I should not be eating. So I pulled out my remaining sunchips, and finished my lunch :) Haha! Dinner was yummy, dad made turkey burgers and green beans. YUM! I finished it off with a nice big glass of milk!

With exercise, HELLO, I walk around that school so much that I definitely am getting in my steps. Unfortunately today was a 12 hour day with everything, so I did not get to Yoga tonight :( But I still burned plenty of calories for the day, so I'm not really worried. AND I took the stairs today at the university (yes, all 4 floors)!

So all in all a good day! I was successful both in the classroom and in my lifestyle change. :) Tomorrow brings another day in the classroom, my first school staff meeting (yikes), and then hopefully getting a workout in! I will get a workout in. I will. I need to. Hope today has been as wonderful as it has been for me! :)
