This week is teacher appreciation week at our school so the PTA has decided to bring in lunch everyday for us and put cute little gifts and lots of candy in our mailboxes. When I first started teaching I learned realy quick that I needed to stay out of the lounge. I mean all you have to do is look around and there are a lot of overweight teachers, they are over worked, under paid and are stressed out most of the time. Anyway, today my co-worker comes walking out to the gym with a box that had cows all over it. He tells me that he stole my lunch because he knew I would not eat it. Each teacher was given a box form a place called Chik-fil-a.Inside the box was a fried chicken sandwich, fries and a chocolate nut brownie. Just for the fun of it I pulled up the nutritional value of these 3 items and this is what was actually in the box.
1220 calories
2670 mg of sodium
60 grams of fat
35 grams of sugar
40 grams of protein
Needless to say I was a snob again today. I think they are secretly trying to kill me.

That is funny! At least you can walk around with your head held high and know that you are the healthy one there.
My dad loves going there. They actually pressure cook the chicken, so it's better than real fried food....not much though ;)
Keep snobbing away girl!
WOW! That's terrible! I've only eaten a few things from there and that was a few years ago. *whew*
Way to go on being a snob!!
Its really too bad that we turn to food in this society. I really wonder why we do that so much. Over stressed, underpaid usually equals overweight. I've been there... now I'm leaving it in the dust!
I'm a snob too!
Good Girl to have checked the garbage in that food-people need to be aware of the cause and effect of eating that! :)) good for you!
The Protein content looks good huh, huh??
:-p :-p.
As the saying goes let them eat cake, or whatever that stuff was.
Take care and best wishes.
:-) :-).

I love your new blog! Yes, you are such a Fitness "Snob" -- whatever it takes, right? Good for you!
LOL! Your an awesome example to them Sundie, keep it up someone is quietly watching wishing they could do what you do, you never know the effect you may have on someone! :D Amazing I think I will start looking up the calories to everything, it really puts things in a different perspective.
