Down 3

It looks like I'm down 3 pounds, so that's great. We finally figured out what may be going on with our scale. All of our floors are either tile or carpet. We were keeping our scale on the tile in our back bathroom, but you had to watch it or it would get on the edge of the tile and effect the weigh in. It was just hard to get it level. My husband had the idea to put it in our guest bath tub that we never use. It's fairly level, and we seem to be getting consistent numbers.

I was going to do my… Continue

Grocery Run

Yesterday was a really lazy day. I didn't work out or basically do anything. I'm feeling a little more energetic today. We're headed for the grocery store. I need some low point chocolate and sweet treats. I've eaten all the good stuff. I've been staying on point and eating my fruits and veggies for the most part. My scale is still giving inconsistent numbers, so I'm not really sure if I've lost any.

I'm up to three doses of my new medicine. I had a slight headache this morning which I've had e… Continue

Steak Day

We got talked into taking our two youth out to lunch today. We went to Logan's Steakhouse. I ate way too much. It took them forever to bring our food out, so I lost my resolve. I had peanuts, two rolls, a 6 oz. steak, rice, and part of a sweet potato, so basically those were most of my points for the day. We had a light dinner though, and I just plan to eat fruit as a snack a little later. Apparently we really wanted steak today because we had a steak salad tonight. I just put a little steak, so… Continue

Short Post

I upped my medicine dose and had a slight headache and a few stomach issues, but it wasn't too bad. I took the day off from working out since my arms hurt pretty bad. I'm hoping they're all better tomorrow because I missed playing the EA Active. I was hungry all day, so I made vegetable soup for dinner because you can have a huge serving, and it really helped.

1 cake
2 skinny cow
9 lasagna and garlic bread
4 twinkies
4 cheeze its

8 vegetable soup
1 yogurt
2 grapes

Total: 31

Good Day

I broke my streak. I was not a morning person today. I was up at about 11:30. I had a quick, simple lunch of rice and straightened up a little. Then we headed out to the bookstore and then to see The Proposal. The movie was okay. It was funny, but I think the romance side of the story needed a little more. It was long! I didn't take any snacks, and I think I got a little too hungry because I haven't been able to get full tonight. We came home and had popcorn and turkey hot dogs for dinner. After… Continue

I heard my new district is a lot less in your face about things and they let you go off the curriculum guide (which is truly a guide this time instead of the very specific novels, handouts, etc. I was supposed to use this year) to plan your lessons, which will be nice. I am excited about the autonomy I will have, and the smaller class sizes! The one thing I will miss is the big computer labs and the HUGE media center. That library seriously had some good selections.

At 3:17pm on July 2, 2009, Brandy said…: We got married on the exact same day (same year and everything!)--how cool is that?!? My first year was really hard. I never imagined going to school full time and teaching full time would be so difficult. On top of it all, the admin. had given me all the kids that no one else wanted. I can't say it was all bad, though. I had a student buy me flowers and write me a very touching thank you note for being her teacher. I had many other students write letters to my future students saying how lucky they are to be in my class. So, all in all, while it was really really hard, it was truly rewarding. I'll be teaching in a different school in a different district this coming year, so it will all be a new start....almost like I'm a first-year teacher again!

At 2:09pm on June 30, 2009, Valerie said…: Thanks for the comment! I have done the side-by-side pics and definitely notice a difference. I think I need to stop nitpicking my body, especially when I'm doing it without a point of reference to see how much I've changed.

At 12:10pm on June 25, 2009, Brandy said…: I am so so so so glad you are back! I am on vacation until the end of this week. When I get back, I am definitely going to get caught up with you! You just made my week!!!

At 3:22pm on January 8, 2009, Leah Danyell said…: Hope things are going well for you!

At 11:54am on December 31, 2008, Cindy said…: I hope you had a good holiday. We still miss you. :(

At 5:22pm on November 18, 2008, Brandy said…: Miss you! How are things?

At 12:23pm on November 16, 2008, Cindy said…: We're sad without you!!

Have you tried whole wheat pasta? We found a few different brands of it that we really like.

I have to get new school clothes, but I'm going to wait until the last possible minute too because I'm hoping to lose as much as I can. Good luck at boot camp.

My husband has a week spot for Dairy Queen. He's been whining about wanting that blizzard too, but luckily there's not one close so we can avoid the temptation easily. Good job treating yourself and getting back on track.

That's a fun way of looking at it.

You're so right about how the healthy food tastes better. I always dread diet food, but when I get going, I realize how good it tastes.
