So summer vacation is almost over…parents are cheering and teachers are…not. I know that you want to believe that we patiently and giddily wait all summer for school to start back up. Sorry, but we NEED the vacation to rest, recharge, and relax so that we are new and fresh for your child. I think what I miss the most about summer when school starts is that I can’t workout whenever I want, eat whenever I want AND use the bathroom whenever I want…it’s the little things in life. Back to school isn’t just an adjustment for students, it is an adjustment for teachers too.
Please realize that we had a great time spending time with our own children, going to the beach, reading books for adults, going on vacation, using the bathroom on a whim…all that good stuff. If you walk into the school the day before school and we aren’t jumping up and down for joy with a HUGE smile on our face, know that it is NOTHING PERSONAL!!!! We are just readjusting to being on a schedule where we are told when to eat, when to use the bathroom, when to read, when to leave. We will get into the routine of school quickly and so will your children. Most people and children function better with a routine so it will all fall into place. We also love our job and wouldn’t want to do anything else:)
So my workout whenever I want to schedule will have to be tweaked, which is okay because I have not 1, but 2 friends opening gyms in the next few weeks. I will also continue to go to my barre class because come hell or high water I will sign that 100 class barre!!!!!!! One of my friend’s who is opening a gym put a spin class in her schedule just for me because she knows I like to workout right after school….so excited and I feel so special!!!
Don’t let back to school, back to work or the children out of your house keep you from a good workout and nutrition routine. Set your mind to it and you will do it!! It takes a while, but it will become a habit and then there will be no stopping you. Enjoy the rest of your summer because it DOES continue until later September.
