So sad, I’m back from my last time with the first graders… It was SO sad leaving them, I can’t wait until next year when the program starts back up again… They really enjoyed the pizza party and it gave us an opportunity to meet their parents who couldn’t stop talking about how us being there was such a positive impact on their children… They said that their kids have a newfound interest in science, technology, and the defense industry… As we were leaving a bunch of the little girls got up and gave me a huge hug, I almost fell over… It was SO sweet of them It was such a rewarding experience and I’m so glad I had the opportunity to participate

Before I headed to the school, around 11am my tummy started grumbling so I had the scone that is featured in my “snacks” picture below… I’m planning on having the raisins & mini clif bar this afternoon before I head to spinning… If necessary, I packed cottage cheese but I think I might save this for dinner and try to be creative with it, we’ll see what my tummy tells me!

I didn’t get to eat lunch until around 1pm, so it’s a good thing I ate that scone, it held my hunger unbelievably well! I used a leftover whole wheat tortilla from last night’s tacos as well as the leftover chopped cherry tomatoes, a few stray olives, and romaine lettuce… I combined all this with a chopped up soy veggie patty and sprinkled on some hot sauce… I couldn’t even close it because the tomatoes & lettuce was overflowing, so instead i just ate it like a makeshift taco salad!  I wish I could show you the picture of my finished product, but unfortunately, the no camera at work rule gets in the way! This was a really yummy lunch, I only wish I had some avocado to go along with it, then it would be absolutely perfect…
