I say yes, you say no, OR People are Strange

I supervise breakfast at the elementary school where I work. I'm not the cook, just the crowd control. So much food is thrown away-it's a crime. Under federal guidelines, the kids HAVE to take the entree, a milk and/or juice, and some fruit. What they don't want to eat, they just throw away. 

Probably 95% of the kids that eat breakfast at our school are free or reduced lunch recipients. I think the parents also look at breakfast time as cheap or free daycare. Where else can you get 1/2 hour of daycare for $1.75-or better yet-free? I'm not denying that these kids need breakfast, however.

Cheated big time. Vegetarian pizza. Yum.

You girls wear me out and make me late getting ready for work every day 

Good to hear your Tim is better Bren!!

I found your thread about your trip to Canada - I'm SO jealous!!! I loved Niagara on the Lake SO much. That's where I saw my first Christmas Shop and couldn't believe my eyes. We have since started to get some over here but not many.

Ball tip steaks, baked potatoes and corn. BAKED POTATOES. That means I used the oven. The oven that didn't work for over a week. WOO HOO.

I hope I make it to Niagara on the Lake. I just need my enhanced driver's lisence to come in the mail. It should be here in about 2 weeks. I am excited. I haven't been anywhere except to see family since I was diagnosed.

Ok, just in case you missed it in the Stop Sugar Support thread - I am down 18 lbs since the first of May!  I tried for 2 years just exercising and portion control and never lost a pound!  Now I can seriously think about PS!

Congrats Jancie .. that's great news!

Congrats, Jancie! Losing weight is great.

Congratulations Jancie.....Cherryl, that sounds like a heavenly menu.

I am half dead. On top of the power yoga class I took at dawn, I decided to take my favourite instructor's spinning class after work. One reason why he works us to death is because he keeps offering options. The harder option is always phrased as "If you're an overachiever, do this...." and like an idiot I (my pride, that is) take the bait every time and go for it.

Still, it has also helped ME lose considerable weight and be back to normal again.

Dinner will be Trader Joe's inimitable lasagna.

I didn't think of that either!!!!  whew!!!!!  I hope it will work for you.

Friend pm'd me to say a post I put on another thread was being interpreted as insulting - promised not to post there again, but sped back to remove it - and aplogize.

definitely need those macadamia nutz....

Sorry - here I was posting about power yoga and spinning - hope that didn't sound insensitive Blue. At least I can use my shoulders fully....

Thanks Mods!!

Blue~~ You're being so brave. If I had a dentist appointment tomorrow, I would be nervously crying right about now. Haha!! Hope things turn out great for you!

Incredibly, yoga --and by this I mean power yoga-- has cured shoulder pains that I have had (in my case likely due to exercise). It's amazing how actually making the body part work can heal it. The 'downward facing dog" pose would seem to be hell on wheels for the chest and shoulders, but it has helped me. One is always accustomed to protecting weak parts, but that can make things worse, I have found.

In the annals of re-teaching and re-learning your body's abilities, power yoga is wonderful - or vinyasa helps too. I haven't tried the gentle type, but I am sure that helps even more, in some ways.

Good luck at the dentist's.
