Mondays!

Usually I hate teaching on Mondays because the kids are not in their routine and often tired. I also dislike our early out teacher meetings because the whole time I thinking about how much I could be getting done in my classroom instead of being in the meeting. Today I tried to be invested in the meeting and forget about my classroom. It works better to "LIM"--live in the moment. I am not very good at that technique but I will improve on it. I worry and plan too much sometimes.
Today I ran over my pedometer with my van because it dropped off my belt as I was getting into the van. I forgot my water jug and my lunch at home. Not off to the best start. I am finding that I look at labels on food now and ask myself if I am hungry or just bored. So many times I think I am just nervous and so I eat to calm my nerves. Some people bite their fingernails I eat!!!

I think weight loss is 90% a mental battle to do what is right for your body. TO eat and exercise so that the body feels good-- I am my own worse enemy.
