TEACHER VLOG | what I eat in a day, working out after school, teacher struggles

Good morning. I'm so tired. It's 5.19 and it's time to get ready for school. Good morning, you guys. Welcome back to another vlog. Today, I'm gonna take you through a day in my life as a teacher. Today's Friday. I'm very ready for the weekend. It's currently like 6.20 and I'm eating my breakfast. You guys know this, I always have my toast, my avocado toast with eggs. I have been getting these little egg bites. They're kind of like the Starbucks egg bites from Costco. They're so good. And then I just get the little avocado packs from Costco. As you guys saw, I obviously get up pretty early for teaching and so I'm always looking for ways to save time. And if I don't meal prep my breakfast, I have to have them like quick and easy ready to go. So this has been my go-to breakfast. My morning routine is typically the same every single day and it's pretty quick. I literally get ready, make my breakfast, make my coffee and leave. I grab my lunch and then I leave. Okay, I'm on my way to school and it's like 6.45. I'm not gonna be able to show you guys as much as I did in my last vlog. So if you watch my last day in the life as a teacher vlog, I did film a little bit during the school day and we actually just had a board meeting last night where the policy got approved that I no longer can film during contract hours, which is totally understandable. Like I'm completely okay with that, but I just can't film some of the same content that I did last year. So I'm gonna show you everything in my day besides the actual school day as a teacher, like typically what that looks like. Today is, I think I already said it, today's Friday and I am so ready for the weekend. If you're a teacher and you're on the struggle bus, I feel you, I'm right there with you. I just feel like I'm constantly playing a game of catch up and I can never get caught up, especially with trying to make content for you guys. I seriously enjoy doing this so much. So I want to always make content, but juggling content with teaching is definitely, it's a lot, but I love it. We're just always busy, but busy is good. I like busy. Okay, I'm just pulling up to the school. So I will see you guys when I'm in my classroom. Here's my classroom. If you didn't know, I teach seventh grade life science and I teach STEM. So we just started our cells unit this week and I love teaching cells. I think it's so fun. So I'm really excited about today's activity and the whole lesson. This is what we're doing today. We're talking about cell organelle structure and function. And I made this on Canva as well. It's going to be like a little booklet like that, that they put in their science notebook. I don't make them take those notes. This is kind of just like their cheat sheet. They have to know all the functions, but I add the structures in there as well. So we can talk about like how does structure affect function and we're going to do a little activity with this today. This is going to be the little activity that we do today. They have these little cards with the structure and function definitions of each organelle and they have to match the cards to the correct structure and function of each organelle. So this will be the little activity that we do and then they'll have the notes as well in their notebooks. Most of them learned this stuff last year. So this is kind of like an intro review activity to cell organelles that we're doing for the year. Also comment down below if you're a teacher and you would buy some of these resources because I've been thinking about making like a teacher's pay teachers. And I have tons of activities and things I've made on Canva that I would love to share, but comment down below if that's something you would want. Okay, I'm actually going to go print off a couple more of these because these are from last year and they're a little wrinkled and they're not sitting flat. So I'm going to go print off a couple more of those. I make everything on Canva. If you're a teacher, you can get a free Canva Pro account and it's literally what I make all my slideshows on. How cute. Okay, I got everything ready. Kids are going to be here in like five minutes. So I'll see you guys at lunch. Okay, you guys, it is lunchtime now. I am headed to go get a smoothie bowl. I'm starving. I'm so excited for lunch. Today is definitely a Friday. I can tell the kids are being crazy, but I love a Friday. I just feel like even though the kids are kind of crazy and the vibes are hectic, I kind of love it because it's Friday and everyone's always in a good mood. As I was walking out to my car, I was like walking through the playground and a bunch of my previous students were out there. So it was really fun to get to see them for a second. They always just get so excited to see me, which makes me feel so special. So it's fun to see them, but now I need food because I'm starving. Okay, here is my smoothie bowl. It looks so good. Anywhere I ever go to get a smoothie bowl, I get like a peanut butter flavor. So this is peanut butter raspberry. So good. I don't have long though. So I'm going to have a couple bites and then I need to drive back to the school. I only have one more class period of science to teach. And then the rest of the day is my prep period. I wish I could show you guys what I do on my prep period, but I'm not allowed to film during school hours. It's the end of the day. I'm coaching cross country right now. So I had cross country practice after school. We have a meet tomorrow and so we just kind of played a game. So that's why I'm just in my regular clothes. Before I leave, I do want to film a couple things. I have to film my OOTD. And then there's this new audio that I want to do like a little TikTok with, but it's kind of long and it's kind of hard to remember. So I've been trying to like practice that. I'll show you guys the behind the scenes of that, but I'm going to film my outfit first. Well, behind the scenes. And so you guys know my shoes are New Balance and jeans are Old Navy. This cardigan is Quince. White t-shirt is Old Navy. And then my lanyard, you guys, I'm obsessed with the Andy lanyards. They're from Andy Accessories. Everything's linked to my LTK. Amoeba Sisters in the back, obviously. If you're a science teacher, you know. And if you don't know, you need to watch their videos. Concepts of a plan. I'm not president right now, but if we come up with some... This is going to be hard. Plan. You'll be hearing about it and then I'll just... Okay, that was not that bad. That was not bad. It's this audio from Trump. I'm not president right now, but if... I need to do it again. If we come up with something... Oh my gosh, that took me way too long to film. I wanted to get it perfect and I think it was perfect. Follow me on TikTok here. Now it's time to leave. And I'm going to head to the gym. If I'm going to work out after school, I have to have some energy of some sort, or I just can't do it. My favorite things ever are these Clean Simple Eats clear protein plus energy drinks. It's 90 grams of... Or 90 grams of protein. It's 90 calories, 20 grams of protein, 100 milligrams of caffeine. It's the perfect pick-me-up. I usually have one of these at lunch, but I didn't have this for lunch today. So, or at lunch. I don't have this for lunch. This is on top of my lunch. Anyway, so I'm going to have it now for a little energy. I do have a code, a Clean Simple Eats code. You can use the code LindsayTeaches for 10% off. If you're going to buy these on the website, they do come in a bulk pack, so they can be a little bit more spendy. I literally love them. I drink them pretty much every single day. I also had a little banana on my way over here because I did need a little snack. I'm pretty hungry. I really want to go home. I don't want to work out at all, but we're going to do something, even if it's me just walking on the treadmill or lifting a weight or two. We're going to do something, because then I can enjoy the rest of my evening. This is my workout OOTD. It's from the brand Ptula. I really like it. It's super soft. I forgot my freaking headphones though. Cheers. I'm dead. Chester's here! Okay, I'm home now, and I got a couple packages from some of my favorite brands. The first one is from The Effortless Shop. Their heatless curlers are my favorite. Oh, Chester, you were supposed to be outside. That's why your ears were back. Oh my gosh, that little stinker. Matt locked him outside, and he got through the door. You, as soon as I walked in, he had his ears back, and that always means that he did something he wasn't supposed to do. Let me show you. We had the doggie door on, and he nudged the door open. Come here. You were not supposed to be in here, but you're so cute. Go to your place. Sit. Down. Good boy. Follow me. Huh? Shh, come here. Oh, yeah. I'll let Matt be the bad cop. I'm the good cop. Anyway, let's open these up. I think I know what these are. The Effortless Shop came out with a new heatless curler. My heatless curler that I use pretty much every day is from The Effortless Shop. Oh, yay. Okay, so cute. So it's like two kind of blowout heatless curling things, and then a little silk bonnet that goes over it. Wait, that's so fun. So a little silk bonnet to sleep in. Well, it's not like a bonnet. It's like a bandana, kind of. Effortless Shop, thank you. I'm excited to try. And then these are Clean Simple Eats. Clean Simple Eats new Focus Energy drinks. Oh! I'm so excited to try these. Oh, they're so pretty. They kill it with the packaging. Oh, that's so cute. It looks like a watermelon. I love that. But these are their new Energy Focus drinks. 100 milligrams of caffeine. Okay, I love that they're 100 milligrams because it's not too much. So I can have it like after school, and it's a perfect little pick-me-up. Okay, I love that. I'm excited to try. Again, Clean Simple Eats. You can use my code, lindsayteaches, for 10% off. I don't wanna try these right now because it's getting late and I need to go to sleep. But maybe I'll try one in the morning. All right. I have my dinner on the couch because I want to watch some Secret Lives of Mormon Wives. If you haven't watched it, it's pretty entertaining. I'm not a huge reality TV fan, but I'm kind of loving this. I've grown up in Idaho, and so I have been around a lot of Mormons. So this is just like, it's just very entertaining. And obviously I'm like now a content creator. And so it's like fun to see the other side of it on a reality TV show. I'm in my pre-packaged food era. So I have this pre-packaged rice from Trader Joe's, which is so good. Some pre-packaged chicken from Costco, some pre-packaged guacamole from Costco, sour cream, and then some chips that I'm gonna dip in everything. I'm gonna drink a little Spindrift and watch the Secret Lives of Mormon Wives until my kid's home. Matt's at a pickleball tournament right now. We were supposed to have date night, but instead he chose pickleball. No, I'm just kidding. I told him it was fine. I really don't care. I honestly needed a night like this. Teachers, you might relate to this. There's something very draining about working with kids and just working with people all week. So when I get to a Friday, I'm like, don't talk to me. I don't want to do anything. Like the thought of having social plans on a Friday night, honestly does not sound very appealing to me right now. So tonight has been perfect, but I'm excited for Matt to come home. Matt's home. Hi. I look like an evil. No, your hair looks good. Oh. It's messy, but cute. Haircut's scheduled next Tuesday. Should we bring him on a walk? Can you hear me? Should we go for a walk? No! You're so excited. Okay, Matt and I took Chester for a nice little walk. Got to hang out for a little bit. We've both been pretty busy. So it was nice to just get to hang out. And then now I'm getting ready for bed. I'm exhausted and I'm ready for bed. All right, you guys, I'm getting in bed and I'm going to read. Well, hello there, Chester Bear. Well, hi. You're just making so many appearances in this vlog. This is Chester's vlog now. Oh. I won the second book of the Throne of Glass series, Crown of Midnight. It's so good. I'm obsessed. But I love you guys so much. Thanks for watching.
