I’ve now come full circle. I went from full-time student (high school/ college)… to student teacher… to teacher/student (grad school)… to full-time teacher (this year)… and now it’s time to shift bac...
Since the last day of school, I’ve been thoroughly enjoying my summer break! Enjoying summer with my friend Anna at Joan’s wedding last weekend! Okay, maybe not “thoroughly”. I am kind of a wor...
Life has definitely slowed down a little starting today. After the crazy last week of school and a fantastic weekend out of town, I’m thankful to be back at home taking it easy. The day after school ...
That’s right – I’m no longer a teacher! The past week has been a whirlwind of activities and celebrations with students and fellow teachers. On Monday we had eighth grade “celebration” (basica...
Whew, this week has been a busy one! We’re wrapping things up at school (only FOUR more days!) and it’s gotten a little crazy. I’m also trying to figure out plans for the summer and...
I hope everyone enjoyed the weekend! There was a lot to celebrate this weekend (my sister graduated college and Mother’s Day today – Congrats Stephie and Happy Mother’s Day, mom!) but I’ll have to wa...
The Real Housewives of _________ (I like most of them) happens to be one of my favorite shows. It’s about women who are horrible to each other and thrive on drama and I love it. While the Orange Coun...
This past weekend, I visited Columbia and got to hang out with Craig for a few days. Today’s WIAW comes from Saturday aka Cinco de Mayo! The day started off with a long run (7 miles) followed by an e...
In the past two days, I did two of my favorite workouts that have become regulars in my lineup lately. I published them on my workout log, but since they’re two I’m always going back to, ...
Hola! Today’s WIAW comes from Saturday: Blueberry pancakes for breakfast, some strawberries and bananas to snack on, a big salad for lunch (spinach, kale, mushrooms, avocado, and hummus. YUM!), and a...
Yesterday was overcast and rainy (but it was clear long enough for me to get in a run in the morning!) so I stayed in most of the afternoon. I realized that it’s almost May (!!!) and I hadnR...
Happy National Pretzel Day!! Do you know what my favorite food happens to be? PRETZELS!!!! I’ve been excited for today all week. And then yesterday, I got an email from TGI Friday’s about...
Maybe I’m a crazy lady for saying this, but most of the time, I really enjoy my morning commute. And it doesn’t even involve any beautiful views. It does involve sitting in a lot of traffic. Why do I...
Ever since I let you know about my decision to quit teaching and go back to school to study dietetics, I’ve gotten emails, comments, and questions from readers who have similar feelings of discontent...
Today’s eats are from Tuesday, another typical school day, so I’ll go through this quickly. Tuesdays mean leaving extra early for meetings, so I usually make something ahead oft time for breakfast. T...
It feels like I’m finally just settling down since the race on Saturday morning! Overall, it was a great experience! Here’s a little about how it went. I packed up on Thursday night and t...
First off, thank you for all of your kind and encouraging words on my last post. As the end of the school year gets closer, I’ve realized that I have no regrets about leaving teaching, which is...
Happy Easter! The Mizzou Alumni association always sends this picture out for Easter, so I thought I’d share. Go Tigers! Now that Lent is over, I can start counting down the days until summer ...
I took advantage of my day off to do a whole bunch of nothing. Well, I did go to a doctor appointment and run a few errands, so I accomplished something. I was happy to relax after a semi-stressful w...
This week’s WIAW comes from this past Saturday – a day I got to see two of my favorite people that I don’t get to hang out with that often this year: Craig and Melissa! Craig and Jeffrey (my little b...
When we lived in Columbia and were celebrating a birthday or our anniversary, Craig and I didn’t have to decide where to go to dinner. We always went to Room 38 and still go there every time we’re in...
After spending the week with Craig last week (my Spring Break) and the last few days with him (his Spring Break) I got to thinking about how much my eating habits change when I’m with him if I’m not ...
In my last post I mentioned that I had a fun day with the gals in Craig’s family, but I saved the details for today because I wanted to use it for my WIAW post this week. Getting together to enjoy go...
Hope you all had a wonderful weekend! Even though this weekend signaled the end of my Spring Break, I made sure to enjoy it rather than dread going back to school this week. Positive thinking makes w...
The Chobani giveaway winner is… Congratulations, Andrea! Send me an email with your shipping information and we’ll get that yogurt right to you! I’ve had a wonderful Spring Break this year – my third...
Not to rub it in for those of you who do not have Spring Breaks, but I am very much enjoying mine I spent the first few days just relaxing at home before heading off to visit Craig for the week. Mond...
Since Spring Break started on Friday, I’ve made some recent discoveries: 1. “Green monster” smoothies are good. I’d never had one before, and I made two this weekend (in honor...
I have participated in WIAW the past two weeks and shared my weekend eats both times because 1) they are more interesting, and 2) I would feel crazy taking pictures of my lunch in front of my coworke...
With longer days and warmer weather (at least here in Missouri – it was almost 80 degrees today! And Spring Break is only a week away!) it seems easier to live a healthy lifestyle. It’s the perfect t...
Time for the last of my “big races” (so far): My first full marathon! Since I just started this blog, I wanted to tell a little story about each of my races since they were all pre-blog Here are my o...
