A day in the life of Me...

Recently I was a part of an accountability group on Facebook. It was called the Candy Detox. Yep, right after Halloween and I needed it! I was nervous because I worked (at a school) and candy lurked around every corner. As we all know I have a huge sweet tooth and so I knew this wasn't going to be easy. So I took pictures of every meal, every snack, every workout, every drink (well almost) and it honestly held me accountable for what exactly I put into my mouth! After a 5 days I realized I do pretty awesome and my "huge" sweet tooth and really it isn't so bad after all. But this got me thinking, I should share with you guys what a day in my life looks like when I work and when I don't work!
