I made it through!  The first day of third grade was classic.  The kids were excited, sweet and as funny as always!  I will have many fun stories with this bunch.  A short one for now..today a little boy in my class was chewing his pencils, then chewing his erasers, then chewing his fingers.  I asked him at least 4 times to please keep things out of his mouth because he was going to spread germs to other kids.  His response “Can I bring the dog toy my mom bought me to chew on tomorrow?”  Like I said, it is always interesting!!  🙂

For breakfast, I made classic oatmeal with wheat bran, flax, oat bran, banana, and fruit.

For lunch, I had a classic spinach-fruit salad with raspberry vinaigrette (light from TJ’s)  along with 1/2 c. Fage mixed with 1/2 c. All bran.  I was stuffed!  I ate my lunch in bites while running around today, sorry no pic!

For dinner, after a 5 mile walk/run, I made my classic ginger/soy/garlic salmon with veggies and brown rice.  It hit the spot today and tasted delicious!

Broccoli, zucchini, squash, mushrooms, lentils, roasted corn and onions, served over brown rice!
