What I have been thinking about today...

I've been thinking a lot about weight loss this weekend. Now that I am two weeks into teaching, I know I can handle teaching and losing weight. This week will be my first week to have all the grades doing a different lesson, so we'll see how that goes. It'll be a little stressful, but I just finished my lesson plans for the next 5 weeks (I see each student once per week). It will be just tweaking, preparing supplies and resources, for the next few weeks. I have done great with lunches. The first… Continue

What I Learned Today and Week 8: Week in Review

First things first--a loss!! This is my third week in a row I have lost 2.5 lbs. How about that for consistency? I'll do a week-in review at the end of the post, but first--some insight. So, my training today was pretty good after all. It was about Classroom Management, and I was scared it would be just like the other 4,000 classroom management trainings I have been to. It wasn't. The presenter was crazy fun and engaging, it wasn't very interactive (which I normally like but I wasn't in the moo… Continue

A Fiber-licious Day!

Holy cow... I managed to get 36 grams of fiber today. This is how I did it: 2 fiber one apple cinnamon muffins -- 10g (5g each) 2 whole wheat hot dog buns -- 6g (3g each) 4 meatballs (made with oatmeal instead of bread crumbs) -- 3g odwalla berries gomega smoothie -- 6g 1 can amy's cream of tomato soup -- 6g 1 whole wheat english muffin -- 4g 1 tomato -- 1g Yee-haw. My heart is thankful. To give you an example of how my eating habits have turned upside down (or downside down really, if you cat… Continue

Girl's Night

So, last night I had a total girls night... well two in a row! First, I went to one of my favorite places--the Wine Therapist (best name ever). You go, buy a bottle of wine and split it, sit ona comfy leather couch, and chat away. I always end up crying there for some reason. LOL. No tears last night. I drank 1/3 of a bottle wine. Then we went next door to an Irish pub. For the three of us, we split a burger and fries, some fried jalapenos, and this cheesy dip with baguettes. Okay, not the best… Continue

Partying like it's 1999.

Hey guys, nothing big to report really. I still have the serious munchies--wish they would go away. I've been eating all night, but trying to eat low-cal things--corn on the cob, tomato, turkey, string cheese, etc. Sometimes I hate being a woman... I'm usually fine during TOM--it's just the week before that I hate--my face breaks out and I want to eat everything in sight. I guess maybe I am burning more calories during this time so I need more? I have no idea. Yesterday I did 1,999 calories (cr… Continue

thanks for your comments on the bike riding. You should try swiming laps! No socks or shoes! I do love a good spin class, I should look for one that fits my schedule!

Hey Cindy! I feel like I haven't seen you around here in awhile, but I think we've both just been crazy busy. How's the new school year going? Sounds like you're doing an awesome job keeping on track even with all the craziness- I'm very very jealous of your massage!

Thanks for checking in on me. I've let the whole blog to lose newness wear off. I know I need to get back on track and refocus. We started homeschooling last week and we are all getting adjusted. I hope to get back here and post more often, soon.
