Last week's weight - 189.4

Today's weight - 189.8

Gain of .4 lbs

Yes I am disappointed but TOM arrived today in FULL FORCE so I feel too bad with the cramps to even deal with it right now. Today has been a super busy day at work. I need to go ahead and get on the bike as soon as I get home today because I am meeting some co-workers at the local Mexican restaurant for dinner tonight. I am so lucky that I work with people so wonderful that I want to hang out with them when we aren't at work.

Wow

Today's weight - 185

How in the hell did that happen? I don't really care, I'm just glad it DID happen. Actually when I first stepped on the scales it read 183.5! Maybe my scale is a crystal ball and is letting me know what Tuesday's WI results will be!

DD and I went and saw Bevery Hills Chihuahua yesterday. The theater was packed, not one empty seat! I was amazed. The movie was really cute! We also did some shopping for some outside fall decorations. Now I just need to trim those bushes in the front of the house so everyone can see how cute the house looks.

Long week

Wednesday, October 31, 2007 00:02:12

Today's weight - 187.4 - down 3 lbs from yesterday's weight. Maybe that 96 oz of water I drank yesterday has something to do with it. :)

I am loving this downward trend in the scales and I am promising myself I will stay at it. I had a bit of drama yesterday afternoon that nearly sent me headfirst into a package of Halloween Pumpkin Reese Peanut Butter Cups but I put on my exercise clothes and went for a nice leisurely run. Something about running always clears my head and yesterday was no exception.

This week has been the longest week in history for some reason. I feel like the days are just dragging on. I am so ready for Friday already!!

Ugh! I am still way up. I'd love to blame a looming TOM but in reality it was all my choice. I picked up a bacon cheeseburger along with some large chili cheese tater tots from Sonic on my way home last night. I polished off the night by eating a Dove chocolate bar for 180 calories. I was so hungry I could have eaten the right side of my house so I took a shower and went straight to bed. I woke up to a growling stomach this morning which was just unreal!! My food has been great today and I am vowing to myself that I will have one solid on program week this week despite TOM who should arrive soon.

It's hit and miss

I tried visiting your blogs this weekend but it was taking forever for them to load so I thought I would try getting caught up here at school but could only get one blog to load for me. Ugh! This is frustrating!

Thank you all for your wonderful comments on the 5k Saturday. I was super sore when I woke up Sunday morning. Boy those hills really do wonders for your butt muscles. :) I avoided the scale because I knew it would be up. This morning I stepped on and I'm up to 188.4. I'm not terribly worried though.

I've got my final Promethean Board training tonight. We had to prepare a flipchart but sadly our instructor has done very little in the way of preparing us to do that. She has shown us all the things we can do with our board but hasn't shown us how to create any of the cool things. I created a flipchart with the other second grade teacher, we really fumbled around to figure things out. Hopefully tonight's class will get out early so that I can eat, shower, and go straight to bed. I am exhausted!

I've Got Heart

Saturday, December 8, 2007 22:07:09

I just completed the Gotta Have Heart 5k and I am so proud of myself!! My mom called me last night and wanted to know if I was still going to run the 5k this morning. The weather people were calling for rain but I told her I was going to run anyway. I told her I didn't want her to go out there and sit in the rain but she said if I was running she would be there. She is my own little personal cheerleading section. :) My first 5k finish time was a little over 47 minutes so I set a goal of finishing this one in 45 minutes. I am happy to say that I completed my second 5k in 42:42!!! Go me!! The rain held off (thankfully) and even though there were not many of us racing (about 15) we all had a great time!!

Here I am pre-race

At the start of the race

And finally at the finish

To top it all off my weight was down to 187.8 this morning.

Dreary Rainy Day

Saturday, December 8, 2007 22:06:13

Today's weight - 189.4

So last night DD and I went to Japanese. I didn't blow it!! :) I had the veggies, chicken, and shrimp ONLY!! I am sure the scales being up today are due to sodium and I'm totally okay with it.

It's been raining here all day today. I just feel like climbing into a warm bed with a good movie and some diet hot chocolate with FF whipped cream on the top. Hey, maybe that is exactly what I will do tonight. :)

The weather is calling for some showers in the morning. I will not let that keep me from doing the 5k though. Tonight will be a light exercise night. I will probably just ride my stationary bike while I watch the soaps this afternoon. I need to make sure I get into bed early so I will be ready for the morning. Registration is being held at 7:40 and the race starts at 8:00. I need to make sure I get up in plenty of time to have a good breakfast. I'm not a morning person at all. It always takes me so long to wake up but oh well!

I hope you all are having an awesome Friday!!
