Fitness Friday!

Friday, Friday, FRIDAY

And if you are lucky like me, it's a three day weekend!

No school, no work for three whole dayssssss! This weekend will be super busy for me though, so we will she how much of "nothing" I actually get to do.

But on to fitness! I find that the weekend is the toughest couple of days to get through when trying to stick to a healthy routine. For me, exercising is easier because on weekdays I go to school and work all day so when I get off at 5 I am pooped and just want to lay down (and the homework hasn't started yet, and when that happens..look out. I won't be the best example of exercising everyday). But on the weekends I get to take full advantage of the beautiful weather and get out there and run or something! 

Eating, now that is a different story. There is just so many good things to eat on the weekend! Between football parties, going out to eat after church and just being at home more and having access to all kinds of snacks, it is difficult! 

BUT I HAVE A SOLUTION!

A fittness and meal planner!

I LOVE THIS! I made it not to long ago, because I find that I eat better if I follow a list of what I am going to eat each day! On Sunday mornings, I sit down and map out my week (Sunday's are when I go grocery shopping). I even plan out my "cheat meal" so I don't go overboard. Sometimes I have to make some unexpected modifications (if we go out to eat but I'll get a salad). I plan all my meals out so that they stay in my calories for the day!

I love it! I print out seven and put them in clear paper protectors in a folder. That way, I can reuse them with dry erase markers every week!

Have a great weekend and don't get discouraged from fitness!

DIY Subject Dividers

I LOVE school supply shopping (like a future elementary school teacher would). 

But I love all my school supplies to be cute and fashionable.

So  sometimes most of the time I get very frustrated.

Finding cute binders, pencils, backpacks, planners ect. isn't all that hard. 

But when it comes to subject dividers this is all I find...

 

 Can you say....Grosssssss!

There is just something not so fun about those (not really my style)

So I had an idea! When all else fails...DIY!

 (Sorry for the glare..they are laminated)

I got oh so tired of wasting my money on new ones every year! So this is how I did it!

I bought six pages of scrapbook paper.

 I took a manilla folder and cut it in half (keeping the half with the tab on it)

I then taped it down and outlined the folder on the paper.

Remove the folder and cute out the outline.

Then I cut out strips of paper and glued them on each tab. I also made a "reminders" page and cut it to the size I wanted and glued it in the middle.

Then I laminated the pages, cut them out, put holes in them and BAM! You have reusable CUTE subject dividers! 

I write on mine with dry erase marker, that way at the end of the semester I can erase and reuse them.

 I am the sticky note QUEEN.

So with the reminders I can write things I need to remember and erase them when I am done.

I love them! I can't wait to do this when I am a teacher !
