Work, Work, Work

I need to change my Bitmoji outfit

I really don't have that much to do today in terms of getting ready for the new semester because I did most of my stuff before break. I have a list though which I'll tackle when I get to school. Mainly it's about sending out progress reports, checking schedules, and making sure new semester teachers have the IEPs of students on my caseload. From there I'll work on prepping my classes for the next couple weeks. I'll be starting a new book this quarter and still need to finish up chapter questions but there's no big rush with this as I have several chapters complete already. 

One reason why today is going to be tough, other than the obvious back-to-work crap is that I'm doing intermittent fasting today and this will be the first time I'll really have to work to NOT eat before 11:00. I got up at 4:20, which is a LOT earlier than I've done in the past when fasting giving me a lot more hours to suffer from hunger pains. I'm sure my belly will be screaming at me by the time I eat lunch but I'm going to power through. I'm still not sure how well this is working as this will only be the third week of it but being back in my regular routine should help. 

Speaking of which, I'm back to not drinking during the week starting today. Obviously over vacation I was very lax about this but I need to get back on the horse. Jim's on that horse too. 

So dinner tonight: I'm trying to use up stuff in the freezer so I'll make hamburgers, fries (carrot for me, regular for Jim) and green beans. I'll make the hamburgers in the Ninja and see how that goes. Last night I used my Ninja's air fryer for chicken and it was perfect. So loving this machine! 

Over the weekend Jim and I got the Christmas outdoor decorations down (well, Jim did since I did all the inside stuff), we went to Shooters, we played some cards with the neighbors and we watched football. Man did the Bengals make me nervous! I haven't shouted at the TV like that in a long time. Pulled out a W though and hot dog for winning the division! 

And that's about all I've got. My stomach just started growling...I'm in trouble! I CAN DO THIS!!! 

K - happy Monday! Here's to a speedy 2nd semester! Later!
