    I am a middle school teacher. I feel like chocolates and other special treats are ALWAYS available at my school. I was so proud of myself for walking past them this first day back to work from the winter break. Feel free to add me, as well!

    First grade, here! :)
    Quite often I send my hubby photos of allllll the treats in the teacher's lounge, just to show him the struggle is real! And plentiful. It's been nice to break the habit during Christmas vacation but tomorrow, the temptations begin again. Anyhow! Add me!

    And another teacher, go right ahead and add me. Even if I'm usually the one tempting the colleagues. I love baking almost as much as eating cake and cookies, so when i'm feeling really down, I bake and take it to school and everybody else eats it ;-)

    We started out at 5, but we're all turning 6 and losing teeth now. Lol It takes a special person to teach teenagers. I KNOW I couldn't so it! Lol

    My eldest is 6, 7 this June. In England kids start school at 4 (if you're 4 by Aug 31st, you start school in Sept. My 4 year old is at school too. They do look cute in their little uniforms (all schools have uniforms in England).

    I teach French, so it's hard work as a lot of them can barely cope with their own language lol.

    I'm not a teacher. But I am a full time working mom of two boys who is also in school herself... busy schedule here. Sometimes find it hard to make the time for my workouts. I find it helps if I schedule every aspect of my day. Anyways. If you want to motivate each other add me :) please note that I am not a fan of the 'like' button. I'd much rather comment and receive comments as they work as motivation much better then a silly little like button.

    Teacher here and it is so hard to stay on track with the schedule. Especially when all the pj's have candy or something else.
