Tomorrow's my weigh-in, so time will tell, but I feel good about this week. It was by no means perfect, but it's important to me that I started off the school year on a good foot, diet-wise. With the exception of Tuesday, I brought my lunch and morning snack to school all week. At the staff lunch on Tuesday, I chose the spinach caesar wrap over sloppy joes, which has GOT to be better for me. I even managed to work out 4 times this week, including one day right when I got home from school.

Meal planning last Sunday was a great tool. It helped to know exactly what I was going to eat that night for dinner. No thought involved...just grab the stuff from the fridge and whip it together. I subbed out side items every now and again, but that's fine.

For this week I'm going to make some of those stuffed chicken breasts. I don't have any feta cheese, though, and I don't want to go shopping tomorrow, so I'm going to sub out mexican cheese instead. They are time consuming to prepare but reheat really well, so I'm happy about those.

There's nothing like hitting the ground running...I have meetings after school three days this week plus Open House on Thursday night. IDK how working out is going to happen, but my plan is this: I will work out every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, because I know I'll have the time on those days. Then, at the beginning of the week I'll choose two other days to work out. This week is Monday and Tuesday by virtue of how long Wednesday and Thursday will be. Once things get really busy (i.e. during the play) I'll be perfectly content with just one extra day a week. For now, though, I really do have the time for 5 days, so I ought to do it.

I'd love to see a good loss tomorrow. I feel like I haven't seen one in a while, though that really isn't true. And while I'm not going to be pleased if I maintain, I really have to admit that I feel SO much better right now. I thinking focusing on myself more this school year is going to help me in every way imaginable, so even if the weight loss isn't immediately evident, good things are definitely happening.

Is anyone else still using this blog? Don't leave me...:-(

I Wanna Be the the Awesome After Picture!

Okay, so here is good news:  the Doritos are officially out of the house.  The Snapple is out the house.  No more of that temptation!  (And seriously, I don't even like Doritos that much.. why did I buy them??) I'm going to consider this past week a failure, but from this point forward I'm going to work really hard to make progress.  I'm really bummed about my knee because it means that, in order to lose weight, I really need to zero in on my diet since I'm kind of limited with the cardio.  I'd rather pig out and then go for a nice long run, haha!  I think I can pretty easily figure out how to make healthy breakfasts and dinners, but lunches and snacks are my weakness. Maureen, any good, healthy, low-point lunch and snack ideas?  In the past, I have snacked on oyster crackers, fruit, carrots, etc.  Sometimes, though, when I snack I'm not really looking for a fruit or veggie.  I know that's bad and I should just get used to it!  ...

Not necessarily great, but could be worse?

Okay, so as of last post I said I was W-3.  I'm still technically W-3, but a couple days ago was W-5.  This tells me that, even though there might be a pound of two of fluctuation, my weight is at least on a downward trend!  (I'm not W PLUS anything, anyway.) In terms of counting points, I've been really bad.  Okay, by "really bad," I mean I haven't counted points since my last points post.  I am, however, at least being cognizant of what I eat and am trying to make better choices.  Today, for instance, my honors Sophomores were going to be watching V for Vendetta.  One of my students asked if he could go make a bag of popcorn.  I said, "Of course!  As long as you make me one, too."  So he comes back and hands me on of the bags.  Feeling guilty and fearing undoing the small loss I have accomplished, I changed my mind and gave the bag to another student in the class.  Soooo, not a huge deal, but I saved myself probably a coupl...

Return of the Coup!

So it's been a while.  (Five years, I think?)  And I am probably W+10 from when I first started this coup.  To be fair, I've had a third child, but it's really no excuse.  When I sit down and look at things, it has nothing to do with baby weight gain --I got back to my pre-pregnancy weight within a few months.  It has everything to do with my diet and, not to make excuses, but probably a lot to do with the "busy"ness of being a working mom: feeling too guilty to take time away from my boys to go for a run, turning to frozen pizza or McDonald's to get a quick meal in between caring for the kiddos and grading / planning, and choosing to zone out on my phone rather than going for run when I find myself with even a half hour of down time. I lost all the weight I gained after having Rhys fairly quickly, but I was still almost 15 pounds heavier than my pre-pregnancy weight with Ty.  So I took a picture.  Probably 3 months after Rhys was born, I decided tha...
