Morning all! I am getting ready to go to the beach with my friend and the kids. I am hoping it does not rain here. A big, but fast thunderstorm hit NYC and Westchester this morning. The sun is out and then in the clouds, and out again. It is a humid day, perfect for the beach! Not sure what my workout will be today. It will be cardio for sure though. I am in the mood for Intensity or IMAX 3, or CSS, lol. I cannot make up my mind.
Cookie- I am definitely enjoying my time off. I usually read inspiring "teacher" books in August. I want to get some new ones this month. Last year was a really tough year for me emotionally. I felt so burnt at the end. The testing is killing all the joy in this job. This year it should be even more fun

. Anyway, I am hoping to do just do my job and stay positive. Not much more I can do. I am excited that I am going to teach The House on Mango Street. I love teaching new novels instead of the same ones year after year. I have been planning the unit this week. I am excited about that.
Lori- I have been eating so much crap lately it is not even funny. When I work, I am able to keep it healthy and clean for the most part, so when I have pizza or Fridays boneless wings, I don't feel guilty. However, in the summer I just give in to all the tasty but bad food, lol. I carry weight in my middle and the second I eat too much salt I bloat up and it looks like I have no abs, lol. Two more nights!!! Woo hoo! I love it when the hotel has a gym. As a matter of fact, that is what sold me on the resort we stayed in Florida. I narrowed it down by the pictures of the pools and fitness centers, lol.
Deb- None of my friends eat clean either, lol, except my friend that is a personal trainer, but I haven't seen her this summer, lol.
Belinda- Do you think your workouts will be arriving soon? I live in NY (as you know), so whenever I order from cathe.com I normally get my order within 2-3 days.
Amelia- what are your plans for today? I am still thinking of peanut butter fudge, lol.
Okay, I will bbl,
Kristin
