Ummm
Is anyone else's weight log acting screwy? I've been having problems the last couple weeks deleting old weigh-ins.

Hmmm...don't know what happened this month. I know I haven't been super strict, but I feel like I've been cautious enough. Well, maybe not cautious enough to really lose anything, but I shouldn't have gained. But my average for the month is a couple pounds more than my average for last month. I just can't figure it out! My mom suggested a few days ago that maybe I should get my thyroid checked out...that maybe my pregnancy affected it somehow.
Good news! I'm working again!!! I'm now a Pre-Kindergarten teacher with KinderCare Learning Centers. I actually worked with this same center 10 years ago, so it's funny that I'm back there. It's such a nice change! I'm exhausted, but it's so good to not dread going to work every morning.
Hopefully, being on my feet all day (and not making a whole lot of $$$) will add in to the weight-loss equation somewhere.
Wish me better luck for August!

@#%$!!!!!!!
I'm getting really tired of this! I'm UP this week. Can I blame TOM? Maybe partially. And I'd really love to be able to blame something other than me, but I know that in the long run...this is my battle. I just need to figure out how to fight it.
I think what frustrates me the most is that I want to figure out how to eat in a way that I'm losing, but also in a way that I can live with. And that's SO hard!
I know that I'm at a point where I definitely need to add more exercise - deliberate exercise. So, I started this morning. I got up earlier than normal, and did Leslie Sansone's One Mile Walk workoutout (exercise T.V.). I usually don't like to exercise in the morning, because I'm not a morning person and can barely function, let alone find the coordination to work out. But, these days, that may be the only time I can find for "me" time. So, I'm going to give it a shot. I'll let myself rest over the weekend, but starting Monday, my goal is to get up and do the one-mile workout all week. Once I get through a full week of that, I will move on to the two-mile, and finally the three-mile.
Wish me luck!

Ouch!
The last two weekend (last weekend of June and 4th of July weekend) really screwed me up! Maybe that's why I didn't log my weight last week (right now I'm thinking that I forgot...but maybe it was intentional after all).
The last weekend of June, DBF and the baby and I went to visit DBF's grandma, who has since moved up to Washington. Well, Grandma did what grandma's do best...she loaded up her house with really good snack food! And considering that she lived in the middle of nowhere (anyone familiar with Live Oak, CA?), and the weather was scorching all weekend, well...there wasn't much to do besides sit inside and eat.
I tried to recover from the weekend as soon as we got home, but it was tough to get back in the swing of things. And before I knew it, it was 4th of July weekend, and I had 2 parties to go to on 2 different days. Enough said about that, right?
The good news about this last week, is that my brother and I (with baby in the stroller) have started taking walks at night. They've lasted about 45 minutes or so, and we did them for 3 days in a row. I also busted out my Wii Fit the other day, and spent a good amount of time playing. I know it's not yet something to brag about, but it's a start!
Concerning my 10 year reunion...a date has been locked! It's happening on October 24th. That gives me 15 weeks. I don't know how much I can accomplish, but I will give it what I can. Wish me luck!

Aaah! Only 5 months!!!
So, it looks like my high school graduating class is finally getting around to planning a 10 year reunion...in late November! That gives me only 5 months to...well, to do whatever people feel the need to do before their 10 year reunion.

Blech
Ok...so I just went and logged in last week's weigh-in. I need to keep myself accountable. It doesn't feel good, because the week before, the scale was down pretty low (well, for me!).
I know I've come down since last week, but I'm still not where I was. This is just how it's been for me lately! It's like I'm more in maintenance mode than anything. But you know what? That's ok! I've got other things going on in my life right now that are a bit more important. So, as long as I don't let myself get out of control, I can be content with maintenance mode...and I will begin losing again when I can make that my priority.
As some of you may know, I've been job hunting. Last week I actually found out that my last day at my current office (that I've been at for almost 8 years now) will be June 2nd. Quite a stressful situation! But I'm ready to be gone. I just wish I had something else to go to!
I've had a few good leads this week though, and actually had an interview today! I'm keeping my fingers crossed. The timing couldn't be more perfect, if I were to be hired somewhere in the coming weeks!
Well...wish me luck on my weigh-in tomorrow! Today is actually DBF's birthday, and I'm treating him to his favorite - Mexican Food! Yikes!

Not Logging
I've chosen to not log my WI this week for a few reasons:
1) TOM
2) I hurt my back earlier this week, and therefore have not been able to work out like I have been
3) I learned this week that my last day at the office will be June 2nd...STRESS!
Needless to say, the scale was up this week, but I know it's not a permanent thing. I will be back in control starting TODAY! and my weigh in next week will be a good one.
TGIF and I hope everyone has a great loooooong weekend!

That's it...
I'm going to make Thursdays my new weigh-in days. I seem to weigh less on Thursdays than I do on Wednesdays. And since I forgot to step on the scale last Wednesday, and didn't track until Thursday, I may as well continue the pattern!
I don't know how, but I've been sticking to my resolve really well this week! And it's paying off apparently. Maybe my brain just clicked this week? Let's hope so!

Today
So…I have to admit…I’m a little afraid to write today, because I feel like today is another one of those “starting over” days that I will end up not following through with. But I’m writing anyway. And I’m convincing myself that instead of “starting over,” I am instead going to take one day at a time.
TODAY I choose to be healthy.
See, yesterday I was in a funk all day. Almost like I was PMSing, but I’m not due for another week, so it didn’t make sense to me. And it’s not like I had a bad mother’s day. It was just fine! I was just in a bad mood, and I spent most of the day trying to figure out why. And the conclusion I came to was this: I’m in a bad mood a lot! Well, not necessarily a bad mood, but more of an apathetic mood. And I’m tired of it! I don’t want to feel like I’m on the verge of depression all the time. And yeah, there are things in my life that bring me down, and that I wish were different, but I’m taking the steps needed to hopefully change those things, so I shouldn’t let them bring me down anymore. The only other thing I can contribute my mood to is my health.
So, today I am going to eat healthy foods in healthy portions. Today I am going to drink lots of water. Today I am going to go to the gym on my lunch. Today I am going to take a multi-vitamin. Today I am going to take my son for a walk after work. And today I am going to allow myself a treat at the end of the day, but only in moderation.
I will deal with tomorrow, tomorrow.

Quickie
It's been quite a long time since I last posted! Must mean that work is keeping me busy! I guess that's a good thing.
Anyway, I was on a good downhill spiral this month, losing a pound a week! But then TOM came to town, and I went up...THREE whole pounds this week! YUCK! I almost didn't record it...you know...out of sight, out of mind? But, I realized that I still have one more week in the month to make it down to 193, and I'm feeling confident in my abilities, so I recorded it.
Unfortunately, that's about all I have time to blog today. Until next time....
