Still Here
Hi! I'm still here and doing pretty well. I have been losing weight but school started so I haven't been focused on much else. The nice thing about being so busy is that I forget about food! I still eat my daily points but I have to remember to eat.
School started on September 3rd and it's been a lot less stressful than last year. The kids are pretty good and I am comfortable with the school and staff (last year was my first year teaching high school).
I took Mike out for a birthday weekend to Friday Harbor where we went whale watching and stayed in a romantic bed and breakfast. We saw transient orcas hunting harbor seals, a mother training her young, and the big male with that huge fin. It was a really amazing experience. Our room at the bed and breakfast had its own private hot tub on the deck, so we had champaigne under the stars after going to fine dining.
Thursday Mike's parents treated us to a very expensive restaurant. Best steak we've ever eaten. Then we walked to the Paramount Theatre to see Phantom of the Opera.
On the diet-front I have had a lot of self control. We are going out tonight to a friend's place so this will be the most difficult night of the week. Wish me luck for Monday's weigh-in!
