Recap of yesterday – Wednesday.

Nuts.  Crazy.  Ridiculous.  From a 5:15 am workout to one of students throwing chairs and jumping on tables to not getting home until after 6:30pm, it was one of those days.  I had a great dinner planned but by the time I got in my car to leave school at 6:30pm, I gave in and told Brady to pick us up Subway, ASAP.  He did and my footlong, yes footlong, veggie delight was just what I needed!

Onto Today!

Today was much more calm than yesterday, I did not feel like I was going to have a heart attack at any point today, which was not true for yesterday.  The day went as follows:

5:00 am: workout at the gym

  • 45 min. alternating weights and treadmill in 5 min. intervals
  • 15 min. on the elliptical
  • 15 min. stretching

6:30am: home to shower/get ready for school

7:25am: breakfast – Oats with flax, almond butter, strawberries, pear and smashed banana – in the car on the way to school

7:50 – 4:50pm: school/meetings/planning/grading

5:00pm: teacher store

6:00pm: meeting with Katie to look at wedding invitations for her June wedding!!

7:00pm: start dinner.  Chicken Cacciatore from Ellie Krieger: The Foods You Crave pg. 204

  • Thanks to Jen, from Running with Food for turning me on to the group Craving Ellie in My Belly!  They make an Ellie Krieger recipe each week and post about it on Thursdays!  I love the cookbook and the idea of a new healthy recipe each week!

7:30pm: eat this DELICIOUS dinner.  Both Brady and I loved it.  I added more veggies, zucs and squash, than it called for and I left the mushrooms and onions seperate from Brady’s because his taste buds have not matured yet!! 🙂
