Why I Can't Let Myself Go

Good morning!

The proof is in the scales.  There is NO WAY I can let myself go this holiday season.  Four days of mindless eating, coupled with the ingestion of high levels of sodium, has put me back up to my 20-lb loss mark.  That's a gain of 3 lbs, ladies.  THIS HAS GOT TO STOP.

So...  I forced myself up yet again and went a few rounds with Billy Blanks this morning.  Granted I was rather uncoordinated, but I imagine it will become easier as I practice.  It is WAY too cold to walk, so I'm just going to hop in the shower and call it a day.

Sorry I didn't get around to commenting yesterday.  Mondays are always hectic, plus I have much to do at work before shutting down for the holidays.  Still no rest for the wicked!

I am considering switching my kids to a French school in September.  I just have to convince my husband that this would be the best option.  Right now they are in French Immersion in an English school. Problem is there is no English high school close by.  They would have to go to this HUGE English school 40 minutes away - a high school I REFUSE to send them to.  There are a whole whack of excellent French high schools in our area, two of which would be our top choice for them.  English schools here are underfunded because few people are allowed to send their children there (you need a government-issued certificate to qualify for English education).  Anyway, I sincerely feel the girls would have a better chance for success in a good French high school if they went to a French elementary school.  Besides I wouldn't want to wait until they're in their final year to change schools.  Many of our friends have switched, so I feel our kids would adjust very quickly.

Other than that, there's not much new up here in my neck of the woods.  I hope we don't get anymore snow for awhile - there's no place left to put it!

Have a wonderful day, everyone!  I'll try to check in with you throughout the day.

Hey

LOL -there's no place left to put the snow.  hahaha. 

Im sorry you've gained 3 pounds.  'tis the season as they say. But soon it will be the weight-loss season. And I'm sniffing around for a good deal on a meal plan such as Jenny or WW.

Way to go though, you've decided to cut back, and actually making the decision is something I struggle with.  Do I really want to be skinny? I ask myself when faced with sweets and goodies.  And sometimes I cannot decide. 

Anyways, yes on the French schools thing, good luck with that.

School

You’re the mom, and if you think that it is the best for your kids, then I think your hubby will give it some thought as well. How are they doing with French right now? If you think they can handle an all French school (and remember, they will be overwhelmed at first) then you need to do what is best for them. I have no doubt in my mind that you will make the best choice, though. You are a wonderful mom.

Have a great day! Good luck with hubby!

Oh no!!

I'm sorry to hear about the gain. I know that you will get things under control though!!

Sodium

It sounds to me like the 3 pounds is probably from all the salt.  Lots of water and it will be gone in no time!

Question...

So do you speak french all the time then?  Or English?? 

Sorry about the gain.  That sucks girl!  You will get it back off. 

Me Either!!

I can't let myself get slack for even a day during the holiday season.  When I do it shows up on the scale too.

Don't send me any of your cold, however, we should be back up to around 70 degrees for a high tomorrow. 

Hope things work out about the school.  Do ya'll speak French all the time?  Just curious.

Blessings to you for happiness and success.  Chargail
