Hi Ho Hi Ho...It's off to work I go...


Well me and the 2700 other dwarfs that teach in the state of Texas are headed back to work for our 1st days of school. I have been busy this summer preparing. A lot of the time neglecting my workouts and diet due to late night prep work.

I won't say I am the perky super teacher but this year I plan to try to be.  I will be back on my routine and I am going to challenge my students to work for their best also.

Materials Used: Sheet protectors,fabric tape, cardboard, white paper
My husband has always supported my career and this year is no different. Since I had surgery he will be at the school helping me set up my room and decorate.  He also made my student white boards. He finished them in about an hour. THE MAN IS TALENTED!
Finished Product Student Whiteboards!



Thanks for Reading,

Shades of Blue

I'm not depressed but I have been hit by a case of the blues. I don't know what to do to bring it around.

What to do when you're feeling blue?

Work starts Monday and in my head its going to be great, I'm a little afraid in my heart I won't be able to make that greatness happen. :(

Might explain the blues

PS....
Still no workouts went to the store with my daughter my body is mad it me. Still on the mend

July Nature Box .........post is picture heavy

YES, ITS TRUE I'M AN ADDICT.  No, I'm not addicted to anything bad just subscription boxes. I absolutely love getting packages in the mail. The latest is from NatureBox.

The cost is $19.95 Its really not that much trust me.  I got my 1st box on discount and you can get 25% off your 1st box with the code REFER25. The discount is worth trying it out for one month. 

Each month, your box will include 15 to 20 servings across 4 to 6 different NatureBox snacks. We take pride in picking the healthiest and most delicious snacks for you to enjoy.  You can trust that our products will be made from the most wholesome ingredients and will be minimally processed, if at all. Everything you eat from us will abide by our strict quality standards. ( taken from naturebox.com)


Here is what I got this (July) month which suggested you to Snack Freely!:
 inside the box



Zesta Fiesta Mix (Party Mix): My personal favorite so far
Sunny Trails: Fruit Trail Mix
Lemon Pucker Pistachios: My husbands favorite
Garden Tomato Crunchies: Almonds with a tomato flavor


Southern BBQ Sunflower Kernels: Just a hint of the BBQ Flavor but tasty
We have tasted most of the Box and I am already looking forward to next months selection. There will be  4-6 different items in each box and the will all have multiple servings to give you and your family ample chances to taste the product.   
Check out the website here www.naturebox.com and if you are interested use the code REFER25

Tired or What else is new in your world?

I have been working non-stop since June. This doesn't seem unusual except for the fact I:m a school teacher who would generally have a few months to relax and detox from the school year.  This summer I've spent the last few weeks preparing for the upcoming year. So in total I've had just about 2weeks off.  I'm not complaining. I'm thankful for my job in a time when so many are unemployed.

I haven't been working out much but I have been trying to eat healthy so stay tuned. I have a few new recipes coming up and new workout I plan to try this week.

Pushing Back from the Table

Ive had a rough week.  Ive exercised most of the week but didn't eat as good as I should.  I'm literally jumped off the wagon.  Sunday is the start of a new week. Hopefully no stress will come to disrupt my plan.
Have a good week.

How do you deal with stress?
