Alright, I finally got my butt in gear and did 37 minutes on the treadmill. It's gotten too cold to run outside and as boring as it is I know that it's the best way to work out and sweat. 2 1/2 miles--not bad considering the long break I've had since my last run!
Tomorrow I want to do my Pilates with weights workout. I always feel better after I've done those and usually notice a difference pretty quickly. So, I'm off to a decent start on my birthday challenge. I should be able to schedule more workouts because I'm finished classes and begin my first practicum this Thursday.
I'll be teaching Grade 4 at an elementary school not far from my house and I'm very excited! I think it will be a good grade to start out with and hope that I won't be too nervous. I've got lots of ideas and am excited to learn from my associate teacher. She has been teaching for approximately 30 years and I'm sure has so much to share!
Wish me luck and I'll let you all know how it goes. BTW, the picture today is one from my fall garden. The daisies have been gone awhile and the sedum isn't that colour anymore! I'll have to take some pics of the grasses because they always look good with the onset of winter.
Have a great Tuesday :)

TeeHee I think we are the only country that call Courgette, Courgette and Aubergine, Aubergine...we just had to be different didn't we?...LOL
No! I haven't tried Sweet Potato Crisps. I bought some Sweet Potato just for making the Sweet Potato Crisps and I am going to give it a go.
Loads of hugs to you xx
Oh! AND we call them Crisps not chips....teehee Chips to us are like French Fries to everyone else and the Crisps are like the Courgette Crisps I made... Oh my is there a stronger word to use than different, us Brits just have to be DIFFERENT!!...LOL
Oh! I got it....AWKWARD??...LOL
Hugs x
What an exciting new start in your life, Manuela!
Yes, I've been back to work since Sept. I LOVE MY JOB!!! My work stress is gone...completely. So yes, I'm taking my pics & working out even though I'm back to work :)
roasted cauli curry soup? I've been trying to add more curry recipes since I read that curcumin can fight the growth of cancer cells. I'd love the recipe!
The picture is lovely and so is your whole site. Beautiful colors. Good luck with your Birthday challenge to yourself.
Also, I think you will be a wonderful teacher. Those little ones will be blessed to have you.
You'll love student teaching and will learn so much from it! Nothing they can teach you in a book - you have to learn first hand. I remember being so scared the first day - but you soon get over it. You'll do great!!
