    Hi Teachers (great posts by the way),

    I'm a teacher and doctoral student and I have found that during the school year, it is difficult for me to stay on
    track with my eating habits. The plus is that the gym on campus offers great fitness classes that I attend regularly,
    such as Hip Hop Aerobics and Zumba (but during the summer I have to walk).

    I love to snack and when I get stressed and anxious teaching classes and writing papers, I run to the snack mix or
    something sweet. I am hoping this summer will help me become more regimented with diet and exercise so that I can carry that into the fall. I will be taking my comprehensive exams in the spring and I don't want to be worried about my exterior while I am cramming information into my brain.

    Best wishes on your journey,

    K

    I'm an SLP in a school, off for the summer except extended school year, which I'm seeing as a trial run for keeping up two fitness classes/week. All of you can add me! I like seeing motivated people when I log in!

    It is easy for me to work out and eat right in the summertime, but when school starts there are temptations everywhere. Anyone have any tricks for the 3-4 p.m. time, when my energy is low, and I will eat anything with sugar to give myself an energy boost?

    I'm a teacher! This summer has been great for my health - physical and mental! I am nervous for the start of the school year, because I know that I will be so much more busy and tired; I hope I can keep up with my healthy eating and exercise habits. Anyone can feel free to add me!

    It sounds like I'm in the same boat as you all. I'm a teacher too, and switching districts/grade levels this year so I'm really afraid that it will be even more difficult to lose weight/get healthier. Please feel free to add me...I'd love to have support and cohorts!

    I'm an at home mom and I'm also using the summer to try and get healthy - different reasons than most people - just trying to get my life back after almost being taken out by a horrible illness that caused my brain to malfunction, confined me to my bed for several months and am now trying to regain strength and muscle mass that I lost from being bedridden. I would like to be well enough to work outside the home again, maybe in the fall, depending on how I progress.

    Feel free to add me! I'm pretty new to the site and only have a couple friends on here. The support so far is amazing - even with only a couple friends!
