I also teach fifth grade ELA. But next year I will teach fourth grade ELA.
4th is a fun grade level to teach too and the standards are very similar.

Hey All, dinner out in NYC last night presented its challenges! Luckily the portion size was small. My new thing is to welcome those who want to taste what I ordered! My son is always good for that. It's funny, I used to feel very protective of my food when my kids were young. Now that I am counting every bite it seems like a great way to minimize the meals calories!
It is raining here in the Northeast...till monday! I am sick of the rain and want to get out and garden. Very chilly too.
On a good note people have been noticing my weight loss! Im up to 21 lbs and it is starting to show. 33 more to go.
Has anyone tried the online consignment store Threadup? It has been great on this weight loss journey. I have been buying clothes in different sizes so that as I lose weight I have clothes to wear! I also just bagged up a ton of XL clothes to send to them for a credit. I
Still trying on the dress for my nieces wedding that started this journey. I fell in love with a dress (the cheapest one!) in the sundance catalogue. I dont think I have worn a dress in 10 years...it just does not work with 50 extra lbs! And I have always loved wearing dresses..very sad. So, I ordered the dress in a medium and started mfp. I just decided that I am tired of wearing clothes that I dont like just because they are more slimming!
It seemed like a good time to once and for all get rid of this fat! Im 56 and would like to spend the next 30(if lucky) comfortable in my own skin! Speaking of skin I am now in possession of too much of it! Anyone have any solution for getting rid of the flabby arms and deflated souffle stomach after losing weight? Aside from surgery?

@WA_Teacher You were close on your water! keep it up:) are you drinking it cold or room temp? Sounds strange to ask that, but I was having troubles and someone told me to drink it room temp, and i thought gross! but its so much easier now to get all my water in!
One of best friends is my husbands co partner for 4th grade so she hides all her bad food from him so he cant cheat! haha:)0 -
@wyhorzegal I know that cookie recipe for weight loss would be perfect! I did horribly with snacking when I was home last week but so far so good since I’ve been back! I agree with a few other suggestions- maybe try eating a high protein snack before you go out to ride? That might help keep some of the hunger at bay later. When I’m cooking, I also try to chew gum or sip on seltzer to help me keep from eating the whole meal before it’s done. Just a thought?0

Happy to hold steady this week. Definitely let some bad habits sneak in- not tracking everything, snacking more, junk foods- hoping I can get back on track and refocused this week. My goal is in sight, cant't give up now!!!2 -

I entered a 5k! It's the end of next month so I have some time to work on my endurance. It is a run/walk so my plan is to try and run as long as I possibly can, and then walk if I absolutely have to. I can't run a full mile as of right now, but I have access to a treadmill and a running trail so I can build up I think right now I can only manage 1/2 or 3/4 of a mile without walking, but I know I can do better. So excited about this. 2

Everyone, thank you for your support and I hope you all had a great Friday!
@wyhorzegal, I have a 40 oz water bottle that I keep in my room. Each morning I start drinking cold water but since I can't always get out of my room that much it becomes room temp. I really don't have a preference unless I'm extremely hot.
My teaching partner and I stash dark chocolate in her room. That way if I want a piece, it can only happen when I'm on a break.2 -
