Wow. That's (almost) I can say. Wow.

CONGRATULATIONS SpaceMtnFan! Weigh to go!! And to all of us working-or not-at being our better selves.

'puter problems for me, but, hopefully they will be fixed tomorrow. One good thing....I can't spend all night doing school work!

I was hired! Yesterday I interviewed with two schools. One had two openings (resource and behavioral/social skills) and the other was for a resource room. The first school told me about a week, the other didn't have a time frame since htey just started interviewing.

I got a call from the district office this afternoon and both principals wanted to hire me! I chose the first school because of the resources they have and I felt like I really clicked with the principal. I will be teaching in the behavioral and social skills room K-5. We're on our way out for a celebratory dinner at Applebee's (no Points counting allowed!). I will post the results of this weigh in after dinner so if you haven't PMd me you have about another hour or two to do so!

QOTD Wednesday: How did you do this past week? How will you do better (or the same if you did well?)

 

[Leleluvsdis]

Just found the board and joining in... sorry I'm WAAAYYY behind

QOTD Wednesday: How did you do this past week? How will you do better (or the same if you did well?)

Well.... I did pretty well last week, but I know I can do better. I have increased my workout times to almost an hour a day (a HUGE breakthrough for me). I've added some weight training and abs to my usual TM walking and running.

This week I have kept up with the increased workout time. I did have a big splurge yesterday (movie theater popcorn), but I counted it (the best I could) and stayed within my points, so it shouldn't derail me too badly. Plus I did a quick 20 minute workout (with the J Michaels video) when we decided to go to the movies in an attempt to keep me on track.

In an attempt to do better this week, I am going to try and drop the artificially sweetened treats that I often eat at the end of the day (100 cal packs, WW candies, etc) and increase my fruit. That should be a bit easier, as the spring fruits are coming in around here finally.

I'm also going to avoid some of the family meals that are difficult to calculate points on. I think that I have a pretty good idea sometimes, but it is usually difficult to really pinpoint how many points and how big a serving on some of the "little-of-this, little-of-that" casseroles that I sometimes throw together. If I make the family something like this, I will make myself a large salad with some protein. I don't want to do this all the time, because I end up feeling like a short-order cook (especially since DS has food allergies and can't always eat what I feed the rest of us), but I think it would be helpful for a few weeks.

Also, we are on Spring vacation next week and DH is taking the week off, so we will be in day-trip/road-trip mode for part of the week. I will have to make a BIG effort to stay on track for those days. I know that the kids/DH will be expecting fast food stops and junk food for the car rides. I'll have to make a grocery stop and plan some fun but healthy foods for all of us!

Thanks for asking and thanks for keeping up with the QOTD... I really enjoy seeing what everyone thinks!

Welcome to Leleluvsdis. So glad to have a new "face" here with us on the Purple Team!..................P

:QOTD Wednesday: How did you do this past week? How will you do better (or the same if you did well?)

I got a big loss last week, which felt good, but it was because of starting a new eating regime with WW. This week will be a smaller loss, but I'm sticking to the game plan, and watching points, so it should still be a loss.

This week I have to start doing better on exercising. I'm not a morning person, but if I don't start doing a better job on exercising in evening, I'll have to try getting up in the morning and do it. I've made a deal with myself, exercise tonight or get up early tomorrow and do it.

pjlla - my family loves mini-carrots and snap peas to munch on in the car. I'm still in awe that you are managing to get an hour a day of exercising in, that's true dedication!

 

[jennz]

Hi everyone...I'm going to drop out of the contest, unfortunately, but I'll probably still be reading. My mom told me today that she only has 2 - 3 weeks to live so my life is on hold. We're traveling to Orlando in a few days to be with her. I'm sorry for such a horrible post...keep on losing!

 

[pjlla]

jennz..... I am so sorry for your bad news. I will be praying for you and your Mom. I will pray that you have the strength for this difficult time coming up and for your peace and your Mom's peace of mind. I cannot imagine what you are going through right now. Take care of yourself, take care of your Mom, and we will be happy to see you back whenever you return. Prayers and pixie dust heading in your direction right now......................Pamela

 

[LuvBaloo]

Jennz - I wish you all the strength you need to get you through this time. Have a safe trip to your mom's.

 

[jennz]

Thanks you guys - it means a lot.

 

[Debbie]

jennz, may you find the strength and stamina to get through the next days and weeks. Losing one we love is hard. Be sure to find a few moments every day for yourself. Lot of hugs, prayers and good wishes for you and yours.

Thanks for your kind words and inspiration. I was SO tempted to skip my workout today. It was getting later and I still hadn't found the time to fit it in. But I came on and saw your words and it truly INSPIRED me to fit in that workout! I got in a full 62 minutes (including 20minutes with my least favorite person, Jillian Michaels!). Thanks for being a GREAT teammate!...............P

 

[pjlla]

WOHOO! I won $100 dollars. I joined a BL contest at the school where I work. It was about 6 weeks (mid-February through March). I thought I might come in somewhere in the top 5, but I found out today that I came in FIRST! I didn't even realize it. I haven't been working much lately, so the school nurse hadn't seen me to give me my winnings and to let me know the good news. I will be squirreling that $$ away for a future trip................P

 

[SpaceMtnFan]

Hey gang . just A reminder I am doing my big weigh-in tonight. with the results tomorrow. right now my weight stands at 200 pounds even. I am 10-20 pounds away from my goal of 180-190 pounds

 

[LuvBaloo]

pjilla - Congrats on winning!

SpaceMtnFan - good luck tonight

I managed to get some exercising in last night. 20min on the stepper and 20 min on the exercise bike and then 20 min sitting on the ball. I find even just sitting on the large exercise ball works my core muscles, and I did some arm exercises with hand weights at the same time.

 

[pjlla]

Just jumping on to wish you all a good night and good numbers on the scale in the morning! I haven't peeked at all this week and it has been kind of an odd week for me, so I REALLY not sure what the scales will say. I am hoping we are a big bunch of LOSERS tomorrow!

See you all in the morning........................P
