My in service starts tomorrow! Blah! I just thought this would be a good place to complain about going back to work! Just kidding! Anyway, how are you getting prepared during in service? What's your food plan? What's your work plan?
I survived the first day. I was a bit sad when everyone went out to eat together and I stayed behind to eat my packed lunch alone. I swear that there's no one on a diet in my entire school. What is wrong with these people! I need a diet buddy at work!
It was good to see everyone, but I didn't get near enough work done.
I spent the day cleaning my room and got invited to eat out for lunch with a bunch of the English department. I wanted to say no because I brought my lunch, but I decided to go because I'm new and I don't know anyone really and I felt like I needed to be sociable. It's really hard to decide and navigate that social aspect!
That's tough. I have the same problem because it is so important to have friends at work. Plus once school starts, it'll be rare that we actually get to go out to eat. I think once I get closer to goal, I'll not be so strict on myself, but for right now, I really want to make every second count. I'm going to stick with my packed lunch!
Keep doing what you're doing! Eventually someone else will decide they want to watch what they are eating and will be coming to you for support :)
Atleast that's how it happened with me. Now I'm blessed with an incredible friend and eating partner. We are always bringing little (healthy) treats for each other and checking in. It definitely helps!
I'm hoping because it would be so nice to have a work friend. I mentioned ww to one of my friends, and she says she has done it in the past, so maybe she'll want to do it again.
I try to get all of us paras' together whenever we have a chance to eat out. Anywhere we have gone to eat I have been able to make a healthy choice. When all us are at work none of us get to the work room to eat at the same time so this gives us a time to socialize.
Our local/state extention office had a "Walk Across Kansas". I got 6 paras together and we walked across Kansas. We won a water bottle each. Came in second place. Will try to do some things like again this year. Now the eating healthy as a group is a differnent story. I will be eating by myself in my room so will not be tempted with extra food in the work room.
