This morning I woke up late and for some reason on the days I am running late I can't seem to find anything to wear. Everything I tried on looked like crap. It was raining outside, so there was no point in fixing my hair. All aroud yucky morning.
Until...
I picked out a shirt that I hadn't worn in forever. It is a nice button up dress shirt and I couldn't wear it because it never would button up. Well, I thought what the heck, why not try it? So...I pulled it on and all of the buttons were buttoned! It didn't even pucker up around the chest area=) I was so happy. I couldn't even stop smiling all morning=)
Confession: Yesterday after school I ate like there was no tomorrow. I'm not sure why either. It's like I couldn't stop stuffing my mouth. Maybe my body just needed it, or the stress just got too much. I recognized what I did and it's time to move on.
Cheer: I have been doing good at making dinner every night and not going out to eat!!

Weekend Wrap-up
A lot happened this weekend. A lot of good things.
First, I had class for my Masters from 8-4 on Saturday. I had a great time catching up with people I haven't seen in about a year, some in months. I really like my teacher. She is like the Young Adult book Goddess. I guess you haveto learn from the best to be the best.
Next, I went to my mothers house. I was going to a party with some girls I went to high school with and instead of driving all the way home, I stayed at my moms house. Well, she did something super nice!! So that I wouldn't pigout on pizza and junk food, my mom made this awesome WW friendly meal. So, when I got there I wasn't tempted to eat all of that crap! It was so nice catching up with girls I hadn't seen in like 9 years.
When I woke up the next morning, my mom told me to weigh in. I wasn't too excited, but I'm glad I did. Remember how I was bummed out on Fridayfor only losing 9.2? Well, when I weighed in, I had lost 11.1!! Now, I know there is no way that I could have done that in that short of time, but you know what? I'll take it!! We went out and bought me a new outfit. As soon as I get a camera, I will post pictures. It's super cute=) I know there is no way that this would have happened if I had just went over to that house and pigged out.
Confession: I did eat one piece of pizza. Just one though!
Cheer: I got up early this morning and worked out!! Beautiful belly here I come!! LOL

Almost there!!
So, how did my WW meeting go? Did I hit that 10 pound mark?
Not yet! I lost 1.2 pounds this week for a total of 9.2 lost since November. Even though I didn't hit the 10 pound mark this week, I am happy with my loss. One day at a time.
I did go and pig out at Fudruckers tonight. I was so go all week and I just needed something to make me feel human. I'm not going to beat myself up for it, but I know that's all I get for the week. No more bad nights like that or I won't hit the 10 pounds.
I have a class tomorrow for my Masters. I am really looking forward to it, but this semester is going to be really busy. A LOT of reading. A LOT. At least they are books I like.
Confession: I had my sons cookie tonight beause he didn't like it.
Cheer: I went 2 days without sugar!! I was offered a candy bar today and I turned it down!! Also, I didn't have a coke with lunch today.

Looking good and feeling even better!!
So, I woke up this morning and all I wanted to do was to hit the snooze button and ignore the calling of the workout videos. But, I slowly rolled out of bed and made myself turn on the tv. And you know what? I'm glad I did. I'm glad that I worked out this morning. I feel so much better about myself. Now I have a little free time to write this before I have to go take a shower and get rady for work. Nice.
I wasn't going to weight myself until Friday night at WI, but I was really curious how close I was to that 2 pound goal. Well...I am at a 1.1 loss right now. Can I get there?? Maybe. But you know what? I'm not even going to sweat it. I am going to keep pushing on. If I don't reach that 2 pounds, I'm not going to beat myself up. I tried and didn't give up. Now that is worth celebrating!!
Confession: I did have sugar yesterday. A Milkyway!! What is wrong with me?? I can't kick the sugar!!
Cheer: Even though I wanted to munch on something, anything, I didn't eat anything after dinner. I stayed where I was and didn't snack. I wasn't hungry, so I wasn't going to eat for no reason.

Feel the burn!!
I remember way back when...I was working out almost every morning...I lost around 12 inches off my body...and I felt so energized the rest of the day...where did those glorious days go?? I know!!! Straight back to bed to sleep in.
So, I was thinking last night. How can I expect a 2 pound loss this week after smaller numbers these last few weeks if I don't give it my all? I could get upset at the end of the week for not pulling a bigger number...but if I give it my 100% and I still come up short, then at least I did everything I could.
So, this morning I woke up early to do a workout video on my free On Demand channel. I feel great!! My mood has improved so much!!
This 10 pound loss will be such a big deal for me personally. For those of you who have been around since the begnning, you know that after 3-5 pounds, I quit. Well, not this time!! I am going for gold and it feels so good!!
Confession: Last night the dinner was so yummy that I made, I had two servings. Two servings? That's a lot. I should have just had one.
Cheer: I made it through the day wihout any sugar. Now that is something to cheer about!! Also, I woke up early to work out!!

Another loss!!
I had a .6 loss this week. Really happy about it. Just two more pounds till I hit the 10 pound mark. Haven't seen that since I started this journey a year ago. Can you believe it took me a whole year to lose just 10 pounds? Well, it didn't come on in a year, and it wont come off in a year. I just need to keep chugging.
I really did grow a lot this past year. I actually went to WW on Christmas Eve and New Years Eve so I wouldn't miss a week. That is huge!! This weekend my kiddos were in a Kiddie BBQ cookoff and my hubby was in the adult one. I came home and slept because it was in the area, and I woke up early to go weigh in at WW. My friend stayed in the car with my boys so I could run in. Now that is dedication. I didn't do too bad at the cookoff. I only had one drink and I only drank about half. Can you believe that? I did eat some BBQ (who wouldn't?) but I did do a lot of walking. So I think I burned it off pretty good.
Confession: I had a York today when I went to the store.
Cheer: I didn't let anything get it the way of me weighing in!!

So far so good
I only lost .2 this past week. I blame it on eating out three nights this week. This is what happend when you always have somewhere else to be after work. I a not going to freak out about it though. A loss is a loss. I should just be happy to not see a gain.
I have two friends who are doing this with me, so I am really enjoying it. I have so much support. I am one happy camper!!
I just have 2.6 more pounds before I lose 10 pounds. I really can see a difference in my face. I had a really nice comment on my facebook page about it. Totally made my day!! Thanks Laura!!
Well, tomorrow is a day off. Not a day off of WW, but a day off of work. I am going to see my mother who is also on WW, so it shouldn't be anything crazy with food.
A total of 7.4 pounds loss!!
Confession: I had some bad things to eat today. Too many to write down.
Cheer: I did really well at dinner and I am really looking forward to getting to 10 pounds loss!!

I am tired of being scared of the future. I do want to look good on the back cover, so let's do soemthing about it!!

What a great day!!
Things at school are really starting to add up and I am super tired. But on a high note, I had a really great day!! Eating wise and work wise. For teachers, we have to have an administrator come into our classroom and observe how we teach. I always get so nervous about this. I know I am a great teacher, but it still makes me crazy when someone is watching me. I had a great observation today and my kiddos were sooo good!!
Eating wise, I haven't been perfect this first week, but who ever is perfect? I am not going to beat myself up for anything I did this week. I know I will show a loss tomorrow at WW. I am really looking forward to it. Wish me luck!!
Confession: I totally hid a bag of peanut butter M&Ms in the car on the way home. And I totally hid it from my two kids!! LOL
Cheer: I am really happy with my eating today. I have been staying on my points too!!

Highs and Lows
WW Day 3
I wish I could tell you that yesterday I was just spot on. I was about halfway there....
I started off really well and ended up eating out of stress and frustration. Things at work aren't going too well. Teaching was not all I had hoped it to be. Don't get me wrong, I love teaching kids who need my help, but when the administration comes in and focuses more on test scores and nothing else, then it becomes depressing. It's like they don't see us making a difference and teaching quality things. All they care about is test scores. Almost makes me want to quit and start a whole new career. Still related to education, but something else maybe.
So, anyways....I found myself scarfing down snacks. Not too bad, but enough to make me feel guilty afterwards. Plus, my husband came home around 7:30 last night, so we just had some fast food for dinner. I am going to count my points on it though.
Confession: I did end up breaking down and had a coke yesterday=(
Cheer: For lunch I had gotten my son McDonalds for being so good at the doctors office, but I went home and made myself a sandwich instead!! That was really hard for me not to order too, but I knew we might be having fast food for dinner, and I didn't want it twice in one day.

Potty Dance
WW- Day 2
The one bad thing about getting all of your water in for the day is the many trips to the bathroom that you take.
Now, this wouldn't normally be a problem...but I am a teacher!! I also work outside in a portable unit....several feet from the nearest restroom!! Thank goodness I have a great set of kiddos who I can trust to leave for a short period of time (with the neighbor teacher watching of course!) to let me go and take care of business.
It has even become a joke in the classroom when they see me doing the "Potty Dance." After several minutes of this dance they finally just yell at me to go to the bathroom. LOL
I found this funny photo online that I had to share. This is what I look like standing in front of my classroom!! Enjoy!!

WW- Day 1
So, I have some great news and some not so great news today...
The great news: I went to my first Weight Watchers meeting and I had a great time!! Everyone was so friendly and the leader even remembered my first name!!
The bad news: I have gained sooo much weight!! My first weigh in was 196.6. How depressing is that? I'm not going to let it bother me and bring me down. That just means I have to work a little harder!!
The bad news 2: I got a speeding ticket on my way to the WW meeting. I was going 10 miles over. This is my third ticket since I turned 16 about 10 years ago. Stupid cop!! LOL
Confession: I went over my points value today and have already had to dip in my extra weekly points.
Cheer: I tracked everything I ate today!! I was really happy with it being online and easy to access. I found myself enjoying counting points today!!

Storm before the Calm
Yah, yah, yah...I know the saying goes "The calm before the storm," but tomorrow night starts my official day of Weight Watchers.
Now I know what you are thinking...didn't you say a few posts ago that you were going to go ahead and start eating like you were already on WW?
Yah....I said that....but it hasn't really been that way. I am here to confess that I have eaten so horribly this week that tonight my stomach is on knots and is destroying me from inside. I guess I deserve it though for eating all of that crap.
Tonight my last hoorah before WW is cookies. I am also going to try and go all week without having a soda. So tonight I am having a Dr. Pepper. My favorite.
So, that is why this post is called the Storm before the Calm. Because I'm eating as if there is no tomorrow. I know that I can eat whatever I want to. That this is not a diet but a lifestlye change. But...this is hos it is going to be.
Go ahead and leave me horrible comments....I deserve them!! LOL
I will post about the WW meetng tomorrow night!!

Magazine week!!
If you had told me a last year that I would be excited to receive fitness magazines in the mail...I would have laughed at you. But it's true!!
The first week of each month is magazine week. I had signed up for two magazines over the summer and I just LOVE getting them in the mail!! I subscribed to Health and Self magazine. I read them cover to cover and I really have a great time sitting on the couch after the boys have gone to bed.
If you don't have a magazine subscription to a healthy magazine, I suggest you get one. It keeps me focused or helps me get through a tough spot.
Yeah for magazine week!!
Confession: I had a margarita at dinner tonight. I keep trying to prepare for WW next week, but boy was today tiring!!
Cheer: I started talking to some women about keeping healthy on WW. I am the one who opened up the convo!!

Looking Forward
I am looking forwad to going to WW next week. I am trying to not think of this week as an "eat everything in sight before I am put on a strict eating plan" week.
I'm happy to say that I have been cooking at home this week. Something that hasn't happened in awhile. I think my hubby has been happy with it too. I enjoy looking for deals and shopping at the store. My hubby has been watching the boys for me, so I see shopping for groceries as a time to relax and enjoy time for myself.
Last weeks bill was only $40 and that was including diapers. How did I get this so cheaply? I found the Kraft Food & Family website that has this feature called 5 meals in a bag. I got everything that they said to get and it as so cheap!! It even includes the nutritional info as well!! My hubby is happy about the price and I am starting to enjoy cooking at home again. The one thing that has kept me happy about cooking is that I have been cleaning up as soon as we are done eating. When the kitchen is clean, I want to cook!!
Confession: Still need to kick the coke habit before next week!! And the sugar one too!! LOL
Cheer: I am doing so well about not eating out!!

WW Decision
The decision to close out my YMCA gym membership and change it to a Weight Watchers membership has been the topic of discussion around the house this week. I LOVE going to the gym, but my youngest son does not like it. He cries the whole time and they end up having to come and get me, thus cutting my workout short.
Because of this, I have decided to cancel my membership and wait until he is a little older to start it back up again. He is 15 months and I feel like I should wait until he is two or three years old before I go back. It was costing me 80 bucks a month and I was only going a few times a month.
I talked to my husband about maybe switching it over to WW and it would be cheaper. I told him I can't do this alone. He agreed and so starting the first week of November, I will be going to WW on Wednesday nights at 6:30pm. It is at a WW clinic, one I went to a few years ago, and I really like the leader that is there. She is sooo super nice.
So, I will update you throughout the week and let you know how I am doing. I'm not going to wait to start WW to start eating healthy. I want to get this party started!! LOL
Confession: I ate too much of my mommy's cake this afternoon.
Cheer: I didn't just quit the gym and do nothing about it. I made a second plan of action instead of giving up!!

He agreed and so starting the first week of November, I will be going to WW on Wednesday nights at 6:30pm. It is at a WW clinic, one I went to a few years ago, and I really like the leader that is there. She is sooo super nice.
So, I will update you throughout the week and let you know how I am doing. I'm not going to wait to start WW to start eating healthy. I want to get this party started!! LOL
Confession: I ate too much of my mommy's cake this afternoon.
Cheer: I didn't just quit the gym and do nothing about it. I made a second plan of action instead of giving up!!

Slow and Steady
Thanks for the encouragment guys!! I really needed it and I knew my blogger family would be there to help me pick up the pieces.
I haven't gotten up early this week to workout. I have been really watching what I eat though. I have been bringing my lunch to work instead of eating snack bar or going out. We have also been eating in the house at night too. It feels so nice to sit at my own home and eat with no other distractions. It has been awhile.
I am really excited because tomorrow my friend Allison and her family (new baby!!) are coming over for dinner. I am going to serve something healthy and I am really happy to see her. I haven't seen her in a few months!! I hope that we could maybe make this a weekly ritual. I think it would both help us out. We used to go eat out every week with each other, but financialy and it not being so healthy, has taken a toll on us both. I hope that we can get healthy with each other. I hope to be friends with her for a long time and I want us both to be around for awhile.
Confession: I was too tired to cook dinner tonight.
Cheer: I only had one Diet Coke today!! Better than the three or four I was having a few days ago!!

Biggest Loser
So, I am sitting here watching The Biggest Loser (my fav show) and I am just in tears....
I am usually crying about the people on the show, but tonight I am crying for myself. I have fallen off the wagon and have not had any motivation to get up at 5am and workout. I havent been to the gym in a few weeks and I remember how much fun I had while there.
I need to get my butt up and do this!!!
What have you done today to make yourself proud??
I'm back guys for good!!!!!!!!!!

Stress
Last Weeks Weight: 189
This Weeks Weight: 189.5
Stress is my number one trigger. I am the kind of person where when I go to bed at night it takes a good 30 minutes formy brain to shut off. I think about things from the day, usually the bad things, and then think about all ofthe crazy things I have to do in the week, and sometimes the month.
Some of my stresses include, but are not limited to: Husband drama, children drama, work drama, homework drama, bills drama, food drama, and the fear of failure. That's a lot going on in my head and it happens all day long.
So what do I do to cope with the stress? I eat sugar. I go to the store and buy a big bag of chocolate, not the individual size at the cashier, the enough for five people bag of chocolate. Then I lay in my bed and proceed to eat the whole bag. Of course my children are taking a nap so I don't have to share any of it with them. Or I hide it in my desk at work and eat it in between classes.
Last night my husband and I got into a class at argument when he tried to be intimate with me and I pushed him away. The stress I have had these past few months have just shut me down in that department. How can I be intimate with my partner if I don't feel good about myself? He gotupset with me andI just had to tell him everything that was bothering me. In the end, after about an hour or two of talking, we came to the conculsion that we both need to help each other out at home.
One thing I did realize, is that one way that I can positively get rid of stress is go to the gym. I plan on going every Mon, Wedn, and Fri. He said I needed to find something I like to do, and right now, running is it.
Confession: I am starting to realize some eating disorder habits of mine and I am trying to nip that in the bud fast.
Cheer: I bought a new cookbook today and I plan on doing a new recipe every day this week!! Better than eating out!!
