Stickin' to it

I am happy to report that my healthy lunch plan has been working! Yayy! So far, so so good. I have been looking forward to my lunches each and every day and have been pretty satisfied with my healthy choices. Here is a sneak peek into tomorrow's lunchbox. Have a great week everyone!

Chobani Pineapple Greek Yogurt with 1/2 cup of Fiber One Cereal and freshly sliced pineapple chunks

Lettuce, sliced red pepper, tomato, broccoli slaw, salsa...I will wrap these with a Weight Watchers Pita

Sound good? Try it!

Life Lately...

Happy weekend everyone! Here are a couple instagram/iphone pictures from last weekend and earlier this week. Over the next two days the hubs and I will be puppy sitting Prince Preston (my sister's pup). Let's see how my little bubba Brooklyn does with this. Whoa baby! Wish us luck! =)

Things that make you go ooooo...

Clean Eating

Yes, friends...clean eating. This girl right here, ME. The hamburger loving, fast food visitor (okay more like a member), daily coffee chugger has been eating "clean" over here the last couple of days...and I am so proud of myself! Haha! Things have been busy with my never ending school to do lists and I have been finding myself eating things that are just plain BAD for my body because they seem to be so much more quick and easy. Not good. I have been lacking energy and needed a quick switch from my unhealthy everyday diet plan.  So, as I was researching some yummy lunch recipes I fell upon this blog.  Taralynn of Undressed Skeleton has some pretty amazing breakfast/lunch/dinner/snack ideas and well-balanced grocery lists that I have fallen in love with (not to mention her amazing, inspirational story...phew, you go girl). Sure, lunch has taken me a couple more minutes (15 mins or so...uh huh) to prepare, but they have left me feeling so much more balanced and healthy overall. Feeling good so far...hopefully this will last. Buh-bye burgers and fries...there's a new, healthy girl in town. ;)

a birthday wish

Happy Birthday, my dear. I have loved you forever and I'll love you forever more...xo

Straight hair, don't care

Yikes! Where the hey has the time gone! Sorry I've been MIA lately. School has been quite busy with end of the year testing, professional development classes, and never ending to-do lists. Also, I've been suffering from horrid allergies over the past couple of days and have been feeling (and looking) like a hot mess! Hopefully I can get some new fashion posts up real soon!

Oh yeah..great, great news...I just found out that I will be moving on up to teach SECOND GRADE next year! Whoohoo! FUN stuff, huh? I am up for the challenge and excited for all that is to come! Change is good.

Rain, rain go away...

Oh my, my, my. This rainy week is killing me. How about all of you? How's your week going so far? Am I the only one craving some sun and bright days?! Waking up has been so hard when all I want to do is crawl back into bed and snuggle with my hunnie.  Huuummpph.

On a happy note...today is our Teacher Appreciation Luncheon at school and I will be heading out for some dinner and drinks with friends this evening. So looking forward to it! Have a great day, loves!
