Today is State testing in the high school I teach at. The teacher's lounge was a plethora of cakes, pies, candies, cookies, donuts, sodas...you get the idea. I went in, grabbed a nice cold bottle of water, chatted with a few friends and left! I went in my classroom, ate my cooking light peanut butter yogurt crunch that I made last night, had my cup of coffee and started my day on the right foot. I also walked the entire time I was test monitoring instead of just sitting in a chair watching the kids. I feel like I accomplished something!

    Awesome !!!! I hope your satisfaction from controlling your own destiny tastes way better than those evil cakes, pies, and pastries (my personal weekness!).

    Good on you! You should be proud.

    Great job--the first few times saying, or thinking, 'no thank you,' were some of the hardest for me!

    Awesome job! Sometimes it is hard to avoid those obstacles, I try to make sure once I know there is a "danger zone" that I avoid it.

    Good for you!! It's hard to pass junk like that up, especially when you haven't eaten yet!! Don't "kinda sorta" be proud of yourself...Be VERY proud!!!!!

    It actually was and when I was done making it last night I let my boys (5 and 7) sneak a bite. They LOVED it. I think this weekend I will make a huge batch of it for them to munch on throughout the week and put in their lunches.
