It’s all up to me

Forgive the poor grammar but basically I need to remind myself of the things that have worked during my weight loss journey. I’m struggling right now w/food choices and with the long weekend coming up and a crazy schedule I’m overwhelmed with all of the dangers coming my way. Knowing this, I’m going to focus on short periods of time instead of trying to create a plan for the whole weekend. I’m also going to read blogs when I’m feeling weak and keep a book about someone who lost over 200 pounds nearby. I added an extra snack this afternoon (watermelon and yogurt, so I’m ok w/that) and will brush my teeth after supper so that I don’t snack this evening. I will do this.

Workouts today have been awesome. I skipped the scheduled Chalean Extreme workout b/c it’s tons of plyometrics and my knee was still sore this morning so I did the 20 minute TJ and 10 minutes of abs before school. After school I went to the gym and put in 90 minutes and during the day I was able to add an hour of running. We played a game in all 6 of my classes, sort of a high-speed version of musical chairs. I was running, lunging, twisting and turning for at least 10 minutes of every class period. The kids were amazed that their teacher was playing a game like this w/them and that I was kicking their butts! I love surprising them like that.

Got to go, Kyle’s running a fever and kind of whimpering. Hope it’s nothing major, the boys are supposed to go to my parents for the weekend so my hubby and I can get a bunch of work done around the house. We had to cancel this the last time b/c Kyle got sick.
