Praise the Lord- we returned to work today! My students were all fairly well behaved after our fabulous four day weekend. I was getting a little bored in this wonderful clean house. Brandon and I even reorganized some cabinets so we could put away our new cookie sheets, pizza pans, and cutting boards that we got for Christmas.
Please say a prayer for us. We would really like to be able to buy a house before our wedding and we are going to see three houses on Saturday. We have already both been approved, now we just have to search for a house that suits us both.
Alright, off to bed...I'm exhausted!

amazing under 400 calorie dinner
stuffed shells
1lb ground venison sausage
1/2 onion
1/2 cup chopped mushrooms
1 green pepper
italian seasonings as you like
jumbo shells (i only use 18 to fill a casserole dish and the box comes with 36
1 jar of your favorite spaghetti sauce
instructions:
boil shells for the time indicated on the box
brown meat and mix in vegetables (only use what you like i have done it with no veggies and it's just as good.
add seasonings to meat (again not necessary)
when shells are done boiling place them in a bowl with cold water. you will not want them to stick.
fill shells with meat mixture and place in casserole dish
pour spaghetti sauce on top, place in oven and bake 25 minutes at 375.
i made this up using the things brandon and i love. brandon likes mozarella cheese in the meat mixture before i stuff the shells but that's not part of the healthy version.
366 calories in 3 jumbo shells the way i make them. i can never eat more than that.
Snow Day!
Even though we have less than an inch of snow, there is enough ice and slush on the roads to make them too dangerous to drive. So- No work for me :) Honestly if we stay home tomorrow I won't know what to do in this mostly clean house. The dishes are washed, carpets vacuumed, and clothes washed and put away.
In other news- Brandon and I did great with losing weight this week. I really did not think Brandon would do this challenge with me, but since we're competing now I guess that makes it exciting! I lost 3.7 lbs. and Brandon lost 3.6 lbs. I have been watching what I eat and found these great lean cuisine in a bag to take for lunch...the only problem is that they are in a bag. However, they are really delicious compared to boxed healthy choice. The best was asiago cheese tortelini with a creamy tomatoe sauce.
I got the wii fit for Christmas so Brandon and I both set our own goals. Brandon's doctor suggested that he give up caffeine because it effects him more than other people...so by simply cutting out coke products Brandon managed to lose 3.6lbs this week...it really stinks how much easier it is for men to lose weight...
When all this snow clears up I plan to exercise every day for the rest of this week. I've got some nice new warm gloves, socks, jackets, and ear muffs...I'll be fine in the cold!

Week 1
The holiday season has come and gone...thank goodness! I love the holidays, but this season has been particularly busy and I had the flu for the first four days.
Monday we had a teacher work day, in which we accomplished planning a big project and the rest of this week. Nothing healthy was eaten. Brandon and I had not yet gone grocery shopping. We went that night though.
Tuesday I started eating healthy. Tuesday school started back. I had the worst headache ever. I took three advil migraines when I got home. I woke up two hours later, cooked teryaki chicken, wild grain rice and broccoli.
Wednesday I still had a headache from the minute I woke up. I made it through the school day and went straight to the chiropractor. Even though we ate at Red Lobster, I still managed to eat healthy.
Today- My headache is GONE! Praise the Lord!!! I had a GREAT day at work and now I'm about the go to the softball banquet.
I have not fit in exercise time just yet, but it's coming. Tomorrow I'm going to walk with my maid of honor (MOH) after school. Then I'm going to do the Wii fit.
Saturday I'm going to SLEEP IN!!!! For the first time in several weeks. I did not get to sleep in one day over Christmas break.
