I know I said I was going to wait until tomorrow to hop on the scale but Friday is my usual weigh-in day so I decided to do it this morning. In the last 2 weeks I have lost a pound. Now most people would laugh at this. I don't. I'm happy with it. I am happy to be in the losing direction and not the gaining.
I still need to work on tracking my calories (especially on the weekend) and staying focused on my exercise in the afternoons even when my schedule gets crazy with meetings, conferences, meetings and more meetings. Exercise should be a part of pretty much every afternoon for me.
I did pretty good yesterday. It was not easy but I managed not to indulge in "snack day" at school. But once I got home all the effort that I had put into making the best choices went out the door. My ability to resist had been put to the test during the day and so I became more lax when I got home. I love me some Newman Os!
Today is a crazy day at school. Students can wear their costumes to school if they meet this criteria (good behavior, no unexcused absences, etc.) so the majority of my kids have on their costume. So all morning I've been adjusting cat tails and witch's capes. Then this afternoon we're having a costume parade and doing Trunk-or-Treat around the school's track. It's fun but I definitely don't feel like a teacher on this day. I am excited for a more normal routine for next week. Then tonight is the Fall Festival. I'll be staying at school for over 12 hours today. I'm hoping between school and the Fall Festival I can get in a run. Last night I packed a TON of healthy snack options to keep me going this long day. I am going to need all the good (non-candy) energy I can get today!

Good job planning healthy snacks for your long day! That will definitely help when you get hungry and have yummy treats available to you.
Congrats on the 1 lb!!
YAY! Congrats on the one pound. You're headed in the right direction. Keep up the good work :)
EVERY pound lost is a VICTORY! And, in this particular journey, it IS slow & steady that wins. Everytime.
Bravo for your one pound! Celebrate it!
Yikes sounds like a tiring day! Good luck!
Also I think 1 pound lost is awesome! You are already pretty close to your ideal weight so I wouldn't expect the weight to just melt off of you. You're doing gret :)
Really, one pound is great! Be happy with it... it's better than I've done the past couple of weeks. But, just wait... next week is going to be a good number for me! (Although, my pricipal told me today my jeans were looking a little baggy, which made my day!)
And that should be PRINCIPAL... sometimes I type too fast!
Congrats on losing a pound! I haven't seen a loss in weeks, so I think that's amazing! :)
I hope you're able to stay out of the workroom today. Work temptations can be so difficult to avoid!
Way to go on the 1 lb. Every one counts! :)
I got some treats from the kids today. During my break I snuck down to someone's office and put them all in her candy bowl.
I love that you recognize a challenge with food and get a handle on it before it takes control of you! I also have issues with tracking and calories on the weekend. Happy Halloween!
Thanks! Congrats on the loss and on taking control of the situation at work! Way to go!
Awww your day sounds so fun. I love seeing little kids in costume!
Congrats on the weight loss!
I am awful at tracking calories on the weekends, as well.
Everything sounds like it is going pretty smoothly- you are doing such a great job.
