Lent?

I walked 4 laps today!! I upped by one lap and I was actually feeling a little tired by the end of it, I'm not going very long distance or time wise but I feel good that I'm moving! So the gym didn't pan out last night but I'm okay with that, I'm just going to keep walking keep eating and doing my thing. Dinner was a loss for me but other then that I had a good day,

It was vegetable day in my classroom, we painted with broccoli and lettuce, read a book about the direction in which vegetables grow and then we had a tasting for our afternoon snack. I cut up some broccoli, cucumber and cherry tomatoes on each of their plate, I also add a little bit of ranch and a little bit of honey mustard for them to dip in. I tell my parents all the time that sometimes adding a little, and I mean a little like ONE tablespoon gives the kids something FUN to do with their veggies. A lot of the kids tried some and they took to the dip very well. I told one parent eventually you can phase out the dip and sometimes they like the veggies all on their own. I felt good setting my kids up for a healthy day!

I'm debating about things to give up for lent, in no way am I an active catholic but this holiday is extremely important to my grandmother so I would like to try for her. I am planning on getting up super early tomorrow go to mass, get my ashes and then I'm having dinner with her tomorrow night. I was thinking of giving up french fries ( my major weakness) but I was also thinking of giving up negative talk at work, I am guilty of being apart of the gossip at work that I hate so much. So instead of giving something up why not take something on, why not taking ON being positive EVERY day... commit to making a list of 5 positive things about my day EACH day... for 40 days? Scares me a little bit!

I have to make up my mind and maybe I'll just do both... NO french fries and POSITIVE attitude everyday! I like the sound of that

My picture tonight is of the veggies I cut up for my kids today!
