Today we had a day off from school. I can assure you that I may have been happier than my students. All we’ve heard on the news since Monday was that an ice storm was approaching. The build-up from the meteorologists was infectious – the students were all hopeful to not have school today. I was also hoping for the same as I had a fairly long day planned, with an hour long meeting scheduled after school today.
Diet news – I have lost 11.4 pounds since I began my diet on January 4th. I have found it fairly easy to keep track of my food intake with the iPhone application mentioned in an earlier blog post. The only time I have difficulty sticking to the diet is when free snacks are offered at work. Last weekend was the science fair – the coordinator had a table full of my favorite snacks. I did manage to resist eating any donuts (Camden made up for it – he ate 3); however, the mixed nuts and snack sized Baby Ruth were just too tempting.
