I feel healthier already, and it's only the second day of post planning. I am on the second floor of my school, and there is no elevator. So, yesterday was spent lugging my Rubbermaid containers FULL of stuff down to my car, as well as lugging heavy boxes downstairs to be put into storage. It was a great workout, and I slept like a baby last night!...See MoreI feel healthier already, and it's only the second day of post planning.

For those of you done with teaching--enjoy your summer. For those of you with a couple more weeks left, hold on! You're almost there.
You are all wonderful!

Does anyone have recipes for someone on dialysis? My mom-in- law is coming to stay with us and is on dialysis. I'd appreciate anyone's favorites.
We have begun a staff yoga time once/week after school. It has helped us in many ways to handle stress, calm ourselves, and take quiet time for ourselves. (And, how often do teachers do THAT?) We love it! One of us has even continued her yoga, and has become a certified yoga instructor! Our minds and our bodies are better for it.
I really like this iPad app and website for tracking food, exercise, etc. Very helpful and easy to use.
I always bring my own lunch because I tend to overeat if I buy a school lunch. I always have a yogurt and keep exta yogurts and grnola bars in my classroom for an afternoon energizer. Since my classroom is upstairs I always take the stairs two at a time unless I have too much stuff then it's the elevator.
Congratulations to Babs on her tremendous weight loss. I didn't need to lose anywhere near that amount but have lost 15 lbs and have maintained that since Christmas. Mostly, I eliminated all bread, potatos, and rice from the menu. Breakfast consists of cereal and a half banana. Mid- morning snack is about 1/3 - 1/2 cup unsalted peanuts.

Mostly, I eliminated all bread, potatos, and rice from the menu. Breakfast consists of cereal and a half banana. Mid- morning snack is about 1/3 - 1/2 cup unsalted peanuts. My lunch is usually salad greens with walnuts and strawberries, topped by a tablespoon of low fat raspberry vinagarette dressing. Dinner is a small portion of meat or fish with lots of vegetables. Bedtime snack is about 8 oz. of fat free yogurt and about 1/3 cup almonds and chocolate chips. Because I allow myself treats, I'm never hungry. Oh, yes, on grocery shopping days I even treat myself to a dark chocolate bar.
Exercise is minimal according to standards but sometimes I get a real workout in my garden.
We rarely eat out but when we do, I immediately gain weight from all the salt in processed foods so have to really watch things for a few days.
I'd like to lose another 5 lbs. but 10 more would leave me mostly skin and bone. LOL.

Google and yahoo should have specific recipes.
Best wishes to your MIL and your family.
Is this a visit, or will she be living with your family now, if I may ask?
