What a group this is! Thank you for the words of support. So often I come away from these boards with a huge smile on my face. Love it here & how we support one another! I was able to read most of the posts earlier and it gave me a great boost. Thanks again.
BTS Night went well. I figured it would, but I still was nervous and sweaty, anyway! Had a former student who's now a sophomore come and visit, too, so that was a treat.
Wendy :: I do feel your pain, having put out blanket resumes for teaching positions in several cycles. My subject area is especially tough to find jobs, so I didn’t get many responses. Luckily, I was hired in the same district where I student taught. It was my ONLY job offer. So putting it out there and waiting can be tough, but no matter how long it takes, don’t be discouraged. Keep your hopes high – it *will* happen, probably sooner than later!!…And oh yeah, you earned that rest day!!...So tell me again, where is your half? If I can make it, I’ll come out and support ya!
Judy :: I know what you mean ~ I sometimes get caught up and spend too much time here, too. Join us when you can. It’s always great to hear from you…How exciting to have
Made filmed at school. Some great instant cred for DD#2!!…Are you still doing the X, too?
Kristi :: WW is going really well. I am liking the online system and feel satisfied most of time. Am starting to get a few comments from colleagues, too, so THAT part of it is sweeeet!
…Hope you enjoyed your run. It’s great that Chelsea is making good progress.
Shelly :: I will go with KBext & the new SloMo– thanks for the rec! I truly can’t wait to see the pics of you racing that mule. Poor thing has no idea what he’s up against.
Hope you enjoyed your rest day. Did you REALLY take a total rest day???
Carole :: thanks for sharing the link. Of course, I was immediately drawn to the pic of the FOOD table! *lol* I think I have the de-stress munchies right now…KBext sounds like it might be for me. Shelly mentioned that APX has a lot of equipment changes, and I think I’d probably find that a turnoff. I have been on a kick for some time now where I only use dumbbells – just find it easier than switching the plates on the barbell. Anyway, I probably won’t order Amy til the end of the month. I need to slow down and practice at least SOME restraint.
Absolutely lost it once again with my favorite Carole expression: the whiny you-know-what.
Amy :: Nah, I would say I feel overwhelmed – just busy. You know how it is. But with BTS night behind us, things should now get much, much calmer. Did you have yours already?
Jackie :: PP is one that I’ve only done a few times, and I always forget what it’s like, but I did a Supersets premix recently and really enjoyed it…I do think hill training gives you a lot of strength. Speed, too.
Christine :: Glad you hit your zone and enjoyed a strong run this morning. I don’t have Yoga for Flexibility but will give that one a look.
Susan :: Bet you ran those itty bitty Snickers right off…Rain sometimes has the same effect on me. I know you will appreciate this: one of the custodians brought in a treat today that was out-of-this-world and so simple! It was a chocolate covered Oreo concoction. She said she takes a bag of Oreos, 8 oz. of cream cheese, and mashes it all up with a bit of lemon juice. Then she spoons it out in little balls and dips each one in chocolate. TO DIE FOR. I ate one. It was probably 10 WW pts. (*lol*) but oh-so-good…I still want to get Baron’s Long and Lean. So many videos, so little time and $$$!
OK, I think I'll watch a little TV and hopefully catch some shut-eye soon. Have a great night!!
