I noticed today that there are many benefits to my FTS lifestyle that I didn't really think about before. I had a custodian at my school ask me how I"m losing the weight and is it helping my diabetes b/c she is also diabetic. So, I told her about the website so she can find out some information and check with her doctor. She's on several medications and I told her to learn about it and then talk to her doctor.
Secondly, we took our 6th grade students outside for a 20 minute break today and I said, "Ok, who's walking with me today?" and I had 5 kids walk laps with me the whole break. While walking, some of them said, "Mrs. Owens, for some reason every time I come to your math class, I crave water!" It's funny because I drink water constantly and they see it. I even encourage them to bring their bottles and refill them at the water fountain.
