Doing Better
I must admit, I read more than I write. Everyone's stories are a real inspiration to me. What a great community of people EP has.
I am doing better following the plan, although tonight will be a little tougher. We have Student Led Conferences tonight, so I will be here for about 12 hours. The PTO is providing dinner from the Pasta house and I think the desserts are from the chef at Ameristar. (He has a child that goes here). For those of you who do not know what Student Led Conferences, I will explain them. The students (I teach Middle School) have put together a portfoio with an example of work from each one of their classes. They also have a objective and activity map from each class to help explain what we did first quarter. There are about 10 conferences going on in the same large room at a time, with the students leading the discussion with the parents and the teachers roam so they can answer a quick question and to make sure what the students are saying is accurate. (The parent can schedule a conference with the teacher at a later time, if they would like). The purpose is two-fold 1) To hold the students responsible for what they learn and 2) To increase the number of parents that can come. (With so many working parents, it is hard for everyone to be scheduled for the evening. We have been doing it this way for the past 4 years and it has had a great response. (Part of the conference time, the parents answer a short survey about how they felt about confernces and what we could do to improve them). Anyway, enough about that.
My DH started JC last week and lost 13 lbs. That is not unusual for men to do when they first start. It should even out soon and he should be losing about 1 - 2 lbs a week. I lost 3 lbs so I was happy about that. I am glad we are doing this together, and that he decided to lose weight. I find him extremely sexy the way he is, but I want him around for a long time and he is starting to show symptoms of being over weight. (Sleep apnea, high blood pressure, etc.) Don't get me wrong, I will find him Ultra Sexy when the weight comes off, and I think he will have more confidence in himself as well.
It seems that I have rambled enough and there are other blogs for everyone to read. Go browsing and get inspired if you are not inspired already.
