had to get done for the day, I am exhausted! I have been on the go since I got up this morning at 5:30. The school I work for is having an open house/art show/ concert on Monday night. There is a lot of pressure on the teachers to get things ready and cleaned up. On top of all our regular work. So the next few days are going to be extremely stressful for me. Not to mention especially Monday since I won’t get home until sometime around 11pm. Mind you the doings ends at around 9:30, but by the time I get the parents out of my room it will be  10 and  then I have to drive an hour home only to get home and go to bed and get up in 5 hours and do it all over again the next day.

Anyways… sorry to get off topic. Things have been good eating wise for me today. Also I stayed after school today to do walking club with my students. I walked a mile and a half with them. They love it! I felt good and then stayed to get a few things done  before driving my hour home. I finally just finished my work of correcting and such about 30 minutes ago. And I think I am going to retire for the night. I am exhausted and need some sleep. I hope tomorrow goes better and is less stressful! Good night buddies

So I decided that even though I didn’t meet my goal for my last challenge I am going to start another one! They seem to keep me motivated and  help others as well.

I am starting a challenge today, and it will end on Memorial Day. It is a challenge to loose 5 pounds by Memorial Day. I am only setting it at 5 pounds this time because 10 seems to be too high. I don’t want to be discouraged if I don’t meet the goal.
So if you would like to join me, and try to loose 5 pounds by Memorial Day, let me know. All you have to do is let me know your starting weight and then let me know how your progress goes! And by Memorial Day we will be 5 pounds lighter!

Well, this has certainly been a busy weekend for me. The weather has been great here and my hubby and I have spent the last two days working out in the yard. We bought this house in September and the back yard needs a lot of work done to it. We have to get rid of years of junk that was just tossed in the back yard and then we have to plant new grass seed. We have been working our tails off this weekend and we are almost ready finally to plant grass. We have been working and working since it has gotten warmer outside.

So my challenge to loose 10 pounds by April 25th is over. I weigh in at 269, four pounds shy of my 10 pound goal. I am happy though! I was kinda upset at first but then so many people helped me realize that I have come so far and that I shouldn’t be so hard on myself. I finally realized that they are right. I have been working  too hard to give up. I lost a pound this week and have done something that I have never been able to do while dieting before! I am under 270. It feels good too! I am so excited about this week and maybe meeting my mini goal in two weeks. I only need to loose 4 more pounds to meet it.

I am so glad that I found this site. So many people on here are my inspiration. I just love all my new Buddy slim friends!!! Thanks gals!!!

That is a lot of missing people! I hope no one sent their results to April! We need you all to let us know how you are doing!!!!!

to do? Well,  I didn’t weigh in this morning to find out. I woke up really late today and I was blocking my hubby’s car in the driveway so I had to  hustle so he could leave for work on time. But seeing that I had 5 pounds to still loose, I don’t think I made it. I will weigh in tomorrow morning, but I don’t see the scale saying that I weigh 5 pounds less. I think I would fall off the scale if it did. I feel bad, because I started the challenge and I didn’t even make the 10 pounds. I am also upset with myself, I feel like I let myself down. Even though I know I did everything in my power to loose the weight. I worked really hard and the weight just didn’t seem to want to budge this last month! Hopefully things will change and change quick!

I am actually hoping for a loss of any kind. Last week I didn’t loose anything. I am at that point where my body always gives up loosing. I don’t want to have my body give up on me. I want to loose more. I want to be healthy, I want a family! I want to PROVE MY DOCTORS WRONG! Yes that’s right doc! If you are reading this.. I will prove you wrong! I just hope that something worked this week and I will be below 270.

Well I am going to go read a good book. I’ll post tomorrow and let you know how I did…. Good luck to everyone else!

Hi all, I will be filling in for April this week tallying the weigh in results! Please send your results to me! I have to get them to the other leaders by Sunday so please get them into me as soon as possible!!! Good luck everyone with the weigh ins!!!!

I saw this lady riding her bike.  As she rode next to me I could hear her yelling over my headphones. She was yelling way to go, you go girl, doing good! I was like is she talking to me? So I looked around and there was no one else there. I looked back at her and she gave me the thumbs up sign. I was like wow! She is complimenting me. I was shocked! The funny part of the whole  thing is that she kinda looked like my buddy Sandy.  I was like woah!! Sandy is everywhere! after seeing “Sandy” on the bike I walked faster and felt more confident. When I was done with my workout I felt great!  Thanks “Sandy”

On to other things, my day went well. Eating was good and exercise went well! And the best thing was there was less stress at work today. Hopefully tomorrow will be even better!

Off to correct papers!!!!

better than yesterday. Still stressful but better by far! My favorite teacher was there today to cheer me up! Heartbreakers you know who I am talking about ;)    He made my day so much better. I just wish that there was a different principal working at our school. I don’t want to get into that no, maybe another day.

and when I got home things were going good too. I was home so much earlier today then yesterday. I had to wait until after dinner to go for a walk  though because it was raining when I got home. I wasn’t sure I was going to get a walk in but I managed. I had to wear a coat today though, which I haven’t in so long! It has been so nice here, but we are due to get some cold weather again next week according to the weather man:(

Today I got in a 30 minute walk and ate really well. I stayed within my points allowance and feel good.

Well I have to get that pile of papers corrected or my students will be disappointed! I’ll be back tomorrow for my last blog that I promised  Sandy I would write. Or maybe it won’t be my last blog….. I enjoy this and I feel better when I am done with it!

Well I am definetly back to work! I had such a stressful day today. I didn’t even get home until almost 5:30 and that made me mad! WE had a meeting after school, and the principal just kept talking and talking and I have an hour drive home so I kept thinking, will you just shut up!!!

so anyways……………………… I got home and it is like 80 degrees outside and beautiful!! I went for a 20 minute walk and then made dinner. I jumped on here for a bit but I have a ton of papers to correct tonight so I can’t stay long.

I did well with my eating and I got in 20 minutes of exercise today. I wanted to get in more, but after the day I had I just would rather curl up and hide!

Well I better get going, I have to get those papers corrected or my students will be upset with me tomorrow!

H ave a great night all!
