My exercise did not outdo my eating this week. I got in some really good workouts, even more than I usually do. But, I went to First Friday, a Hoe Down, and then out to celebrate Cinco de Mayo. I maintained this week. Aside from the weekend, my meals were healthy, including my snacks :) I am really enjoying the Muller yogurts with the Corner add-ins. In regards to the binges, I definitely felt fuller than I used to much faster, which is good. Back to the normal routine though as I wind down with the school year and get far busier than I have been all year.
Speaking of, school was good this week. Some of the kids are clearly getting antsy and we've all had to remind them that they need to stay focused and keep working and behaving. Most of them are still doing what they need to do, and that's pretty helpful. Now, I just have to get them all through the very end of my units and hope that they do well on their exams :)
This weekend has been non-stop and so much fun. I went to First Friday to support Levitt Shell and Grace Askew was there to perform. It was really nice to see all the regulars and meet new people and support a great place in Memphis.
Saturday, my friend Kerry and I did the Color Mania Color Run. It was a 5K to support LeBonheur Children's Hospital up in Millington. They gave everyone white shirts and packets of dyed corn starch. We threw the packets at each other and throughout the race there were Color Stations where people sprayed us with the powder. The race ended with a whole group Color Blast. It was one of the best 5Ks I've done so far. It didn't even feel like a 5K. Then, in all our colorful glory, we went to breakfast. Afterwards, we cleaned up and got ready for a Hoe Down in Dancyville, TN. It was at Winchester Farms. We rode a bus out there and had a little trouble finding the place, but we got there and enjoyed ourselves. We walked around the grounds for awhile. Then, we enjoyed barbeque, salads, and pies made from ingredients grown/raised at the farm. It all tasted way too good.

My face without the sunglasses- yes, I went out in public looking like this after the race.

Today, Kerry, her mother, her dog, and I went for a 4 mile walk in Midtown. I was pretty proud that I kept up the pace with them. Kerry and I got cleaned up and then we went to Bar Louie to celebrate Cinco de Mayo and to watch the Grizzlies game. We enjoyed ourselves and the food and drinks we tried there.
Now, I'm home getting everything planned, graded, and ready for the week to start again :)
