Life Without Ed: Day 8

Today I ate a delicious lunch of a cucumber and sprout sandwich with a little vegan cream cheese spread on the bun. I'm using those half-bun sandwich rounds as bread.

I love sprouts! I'm using alfalfa sprouts on my sandwiches and let me tell you . . .they add crunch and texture to an otherwise semi-boring meal. The taste is mild, so I recommend giving them a shot. They're also great fillers for wraps.

In other news, I completed my first week as a paraprofessional for my new school district. Sometimes the work is boring, sometimes it's engaging. It makes me want my own classroom desperately. And it reminds me that I don't want to be a resource teacher.

I ate an early dinner of potatoes, mushrooms, and kale. I'm worried that I won't last until 10pm for Chuck to come home before I indulge in my snack of apples and peanut butter. I try to eat my snack while he eats dinner so I'm not jealous of his meal and tempted to eat another one. Before this new lifestyle, I would eat fast food for lunch, some kind of meal on my way home from work, and another meal for dinner when Chuck got home. Then it would be a snack free-for-all the rest of the night. I have no idea how many calories I was consuming - then or now. It might be interesting to try to figure that out.
