Okay ladies, (and Larry
), This weekend (friday/saturday) has been a oops weekend...
Lets start with Friday... I began my practicum placement in a 4k classroom... all day with 4 year olds, most of whom don't speak English (and I know no Spanish or Hmong... oh boy, learning experience!). I had a good breakfast, and packed a good lunch/snacks for lunch, tallying my calories in calorie count the night before, good right? Then comes lunch time... they had a Packer pep rally for the kids since the superbowl is today, so the staff had a pot luck lunch. I ate a little of my lunch, but mostly ate potluck. I went over my cals just a tad, but most of it was cake and cookies... uh-oh. add that sugar to the fact that I had gotten up 2 1/2 hours earlier than normal to get ready, and had not gotten to bed any earlier than normal... ugh. Sugar coma... Then add the pep rally - hundreds of 4 year olds shaking bean shakers and screaming "go Pack go!" --- *shudder*
I came home a walking zombie Friday night...
On a cute note, the teacher's daughters did not have school Friday, so they came to work with their mom. Another teacher was going around from room to room, asking everyone if they had stopped at the desert table, there was plenty of cake left. I told her " oh boy, I've had enough sugar to last me a week, but thank you!" then the teacher's daughter looked at us and said "how come when you get old you can't eat sweets anymore?" How's that from a 9 year old? LOL. Now I guess I'm old, LOL.
I went to bed early saturday night, but I got up early, my boyfriend had to pull two stuck cars out of our driveway, then snow throw before we could leave. We both had class, in two different directions. I got over 8 hours of sleep that night, but had a 7 hour class yesterday. Again, I packed my healthy lunch, and went to school. Turns out I missed the memo, we were doing another pot luck...
Someone brought veggies and dip, so I had some minus the dip, but eventually I caved to the sugar cookies, the chips and dip, the crackers and cheese, etc... of course the sugar made me want more sugar, so in an attempt to NOT eat a third cookie, I ate my apples... then the pita chips I brought... then my sandwich... ugh. yesterday was an epic fail...
And here we are on superbowl Sunday... I plan on making homemade pizzas... any good veggie topping ideas? I plan on peppers and mushrooms... ideas? HELP! LOL
