Workouts all in this week. Tracked points and only used a few weekly points this week. Did not drink enough water this week. Stuck to all planned meals except for one dinner. I felt mainly healthy this week which was good. I need to make sure I drink all my water, especially now that it's getting warmer. I put lemon and lime in my infuser this week- it's very good :) Oh, and Mom and I started our weekly walks again this past week- love it!
My Theology kids were not the hugest fans of our new unit. We are on our "Respect for Life" unit- which has a lot more to do with issues concerning death and murder and the like. On Monday, we planned our funerals and discussed living a moral life- they didn't like it at first, but started to by the end. Then, it was abortion, euthanasia, suicide, and capital punishment. I did give them a break from all the heavy topics on Thursday when we went to the Chapel for a guided meditation exercise. That was a nice day. There is something to being in the Chapel and getting to reflect and pray like that. In British Literature, we continued with our Satire unit- Swift's "A Modest Proposal" and Gulliver's Travels were our readings this week. Now, it's time to test and then try writing their own satirical piece. I can only imagine what they will think up to write.
Aside from school, it's been a good week otherwise. Bible study went pretty well on Wednesday. I like our discussions- even though we rarely seem to hit on what ends up in the homily. I suppose the priests have different points they are hoping to make than what we see as the tie that binds the readings together and how they are present/reflected in our own lives. Speaking of this group, we've also been using the Lenten Little Black Book for daily reflections and taking turns writing our own reflections for a week apiece. This was my week. It meant I got to reflect and compose my thoughts daily which I really enjoyed. I also like that I've been able to use the LBB for some things in my class and will do so again during this final week of Lent.
Thursday night, Sean came over for dinner- I ordered Chinese. I over-ordered Chinese. I could not make up my mind as to what exactly I wanted. Bad decision. I still have like four cartons of food in the fridge. Anyone want to come over and help me eat it? I'm only slightly kidding... Friday, after school, I went over to friend/coworkers for a few cocktails and conversation before heading to IC for Stations of the Cross and the Fish Fry. Stations was really nice, it included singing which was new for me. And the food at the Fish Fry was so good! I even ate a piece of catfish (act really shocked and amazed). Yesterday, I went to a fun three-instructor Zumba class in the morning. Then, we had our book club meeting at Otherlands and enjoyed the sunshine on the patio. After that, Mom came shopping with me.
This morning, I went to Palm Sunday Mass and ended up getting to sit with Mrs. Adcock (my senior year Theology teacher who also attends IC). It was really nice- I like all the different company I have at Mass these days :) I got things ready for my sub tomorrow since I decided to take the day off and take care of a few things. Then, Kerry and I had a nice brunch outside and got all caught up on each others' lives. This afternoon, Mom, Memaw, and I went to the GPAC to hear a hysterical speaker, Jeanne Robertson. She was a hoot! She's 70, and she has a great message about finding the humor in our everyday lives. We were cracking up at all the stories she had to tell- I swear, I was in pain by the end of it from laughing too hard!
Now, I am winding down and figuring out what I am doing tomorrow with my day off :)
