Cloudy Day

It is so cloudy out today!  Oh well!  We are supposed to have a great weekend!  Can you believe it?  Five pounds down!  I was so excited.  I know once school is out, I'll do much better.  I have 16 more days of hormonal teenagers and then I am free!  I can't wait.  I so need a break.  This has been a tough year for me.

I think I am going to plant some flowers this weekend.  I, all of the sudden, have a green thumb.  I hope a bird does not makes it's home in my fern this year. 

Well, have a great Thursday!

Thursday of beginnings

Well, I am back after a long long time.  I have had a lot going on.  This past October the doctor found a bump on my leg that did not look right.  He decided to do a biopsy and then surgery.  I was out of exercising on and off for about 2 months.  Those two months happened to fall during Christmas time.  I have gained almost all of the weight back I had lost several years ago.  I've battled a lot of depression, but I am happy to say that I am finally back on plan.  It has taken me a long while, but I feel ready to do it for good this time.  I am exercising and finally eating on points.  I am ready to do this!

I'm back!

Okay, I know it has been ages since I've posted!  My life has been crazy.  My new job has kept me quiet busy and graduate school is just way busy.  I've stayed the same weight during my absence, but that is good.  I've started at a Boot Camp place and I love it.  I've lost several inches, but I still weigh the same, but I am getting muscles.  I mean real muscles!  Everything is just crazy.  I still don't feel like I have time to breath and I am happy that I have maintained because when things get crazy- I tend to eat!  I hope to post a little more often.  I've got a lot of catching up to do with out you bloggers.  I hope everyone is having a nice weekend.  I posted two new pics of myself!  It is amazing how much my hair has changed and I really have a curvy figure.  I am kinda of proud of myself.  I hope to hear from you all soon!

quiet sunday

Today has been really quiet.  I went to the mall early and looked around and had lunch with my mom.  I hate when I get into these moods where I just want to be quiet.  It kinda makes me sad, but I'll get over it.  I think what it is is that I ran into someone I used to work with and she now has a baby.  Everyone is growing up.  I mean we aren't kids anymore.  We are adults.  It feels so odd.

Even though I've eaten out the last two days, I've stayed on points.  I'm up a little because I had some chips and it is taking a few days to get back down.  I swear if I don't get down to 145 by the time I start back to work I'll just scream.  I've been walking and going to Curves, so there is no reason why I shouldn't lose.  I just wish it would hurry up and start to come off.   Oh!  On a wonderful note- a pair of jeans that I loved finally fit again.  They don't fit like they used to, but they look good!  I'm so happy.  I guess I'm slimming up in my thighs and butt!  Yeah me!  Well, I'll write and let everyone know how my first day of classes go tomorrow.  Have a good rest of your day!

Happy Weekend!

I hope everyone is having a great weekend.  I have a dinner date tonight with a friend.  I'm excited.  I haven't seen her in a month or so.  Things are going good.  I've been walking every night and I feel like I am starting to tighten up in my legs and stomach.  The scale is not moving yet and I am trying not to get frustrated.  I know it takes time for exercise routines to take affect, but I want it to happen right now!  I start school on Monday.  I am a little nervous.  I haven't been to school in awhile- I mean I am a teacher, but you know- I haven't been the one getting the grade!  I'll keep you all posted.  Well, I'm off to clean.  I hope everyone has a great weekend! 

trudging a long

Well, things are moving along.  I've been walking now for about three weeks, so I am anxious to see when it will start taking affect.  I can already tell it is helping in my stomach and thighs, but not much on the scale.  I'm going to keep doing it and just see what happens.  I have my points down and I feel good about myself.  I feel like I am doing something good for myself.  I start grad school on Monday.  I'm a little scared, but I know I can do it.  I like school.  Isn't that weird?  My brother always called me a nerd.  Well, this is going to be an adventure indeed.  Plus, my new job is going to keep me busy as well.  How exciting.  Change is always the spice of life!  Have a great day!

Happy Tuesday!

Hey there everyone.  I lost .8 pounds!  Woo Hoo!  Hey, I'll take anything I can.  Today has been a good day point wise.  I feel better today, but I am pmsing really bad!  Midol anyone!   I'm getting excited about starting school.  I have that urge to go buy school supplies.  I have to admit that I am a nerd!  I get excited over new pens and notebooks.  Target has some really cute notebooks!  I think I'll get me some.  I'm going walking tonight.  Last night was my night off.  I walked six days straight!  I am really proud of myself.  I know I am going to see big changes.  Well, I hope everyone has a great day!  Smile!!

I'm back!

I know it has been forever since I posted.  A lot of changes have happened for me.  First off, I got a new job.  I won't have to commute anymore and it is going to be a big pay raise.  I'm real excited.  Second off, I'm getting my masters.  I start in July.  Things have been just crazy.  I've been doing pretty well.  I went through a major happy phase when I got my job.  I celebrated with everyone.  So, that was a set back.  I've been doing well for about 2 weeks and I have lost 3 pounds.  I'm happy, but I still can't get over how much I have gained.  It doesn't even feel like I gained.  The only time it does is when I try on a few clothes.  I've been walking like a mad lady!  I've walked every night this week!  I'm so proud of myself.  I've also started walking a trail.  It is so beautiful.

Today was a set back because of Father's Day, but I split my entree with my mom, so I don't feel as bad.  I'm going to try and start posting  more often.  I hope all is well.  I'm going to go and catch up with everyone.  Happy Father's Day!

Off the wagon!

Oh you guys!  I've fallen.  I've had so much going on with work that I've just been eating whatever I want.  And it is TOM and I am not happy.  Work has been crazy because we are nearing the end of the school year.  Semester tests to be taken. Deciding who will pass and so on- crazy I tell you!  I've also had award dinners and employee dinners and I've just eaten.  I have not made myself accountable at all.

My hubby's papaw had a stroke and then this morning he has been having problems and I just don't know what to think.  I'm ready for things to slow down.  I'm ready to be back on a schedule. 

I usually am good about not letting busy times stress me out, but I haven't been good about this time.  I've let it get to me and when I am stressed, I eat and eat.  I need to learn to exercise when I am stressed.

I'll get myself back on schedule.  It is a must.  Well, have a great Friday!

Happy Thursday!

So, Mother's Day messed me up.  Isn't it amazing that one little day can mess you up?  Well, I'm back today!  I told myself that it is that simple.  How stupid to be working so hard and then just throw it all away!  On a good note, a coworker has decided to start back to WW.  I'm really happy about that.  Hopefully, next year when we come back to school, we both will feel wonderful about ourselves.  It will be nice having a cohort when it comes to eating things in the lounge.  It will be nice to have someone who will remind me how hard I've worked. 

I'm so glad that the weekend is almost here.  It has been a long week.  My hubby and I are going to a graduation this weekend.  I hope it won't last too long.  I know the graduates are excited, but it sure takes a long time.  I usually start to get hungry half way through.  Well, I hope everyone has a great day!
