My coffee intake has creeped back up to 10 cups a day. Had frito pie for dinner, salad for lunch, and a long, long day.

Had dinner at a banquet-skipped the bread but ate veggie lasagna. Handled small talk well.

Ate well yesterday except for almost all of a bag of ruffles, because they had ridges(and loads of lovely salty goodness). Today had yogurt for breakfast, no lunch, chicken and an apple after school, and making omelets and fried potatoes for dinner.

Late, late meeting and lots of online work to turn in-have kept my commitment to no restaurants no matter how many hours in my car. Tonight had beans, turkey sausage and fried potatoes.

Ate well over the weekend and check ed my weight Sunday-I've lost 35 lbs while student teaching; pretty much a drop in bucket or grain of sand but nice to know nonetheless. Helps with positive feelings about future potential-teaching will be much, much easier than student teaching so more structure but less stress. Yesterday D graduated from alternative school-haven't seen him since except for brief minutes-hanging with his best friend the bad influence. He's happier than he's been for a long while. Tonight I had cheese nachos, shredded chicken, and spicy beans. Puppy is getting more mischievous and cuter both-will be good to have some dog training time this summer.

Had to much sugar last night since we celebrated T birthday belatedly; she was up settling her Mom into new hospice on her birthday. Tonight I had salad with grilled chicken-this morning I had vegetable soup leftovers and two bean burritos for lunch. Might fast tomorrow-still feeling the cake.

Had a tiny piece of chocolate yesterday-just made me crave lots. Had a pretty good Jesus is now a zombie day; made a turkey feast. Long day at school today-unexpectedly subbed for Tara when I thought I was done with the 8th graders. Two more weeks and i give back the seventh graders and then I observe various people in the school and go to meetings. pizza tonight. Back pain a 12 0n the 1-10 scale.

Had a no good very bad day and then ate comfort food. Off tomorrow-will be a very good friday for moi. Stress is icky-I need to regain my spiritual base.
