Overwhelmed
Current weight: 220.0 (-2.5)
Today was our first day of inservice and I’m overwhelmed. I thought I was fairly ready before I left this morning but as the day went on I realized that the amount that I don’t know is growing and growing. Take a deep breath and keep asking questions, that’s all I can do. I can say, though, that I’m so glad to have made the change to guidance and that once I get settled I’ll feel great. For the most part I have my office set up which will allow me to get to work on actual work tomorrow.
Food is going to be a challenge this week so I’m going to do the best I can. We had an all-district meeting this morning and then went out for lunch at my favorite Mexican restaurant. There are no healthy options there but I haven’t allowed that to eat crap for the rest of the day. That’s how I’m going to have to handle this week. If I gain a bit I’ll live, my ultimate goal is to be below 200 by New Year’s. I’ll continue to workout all week, make healthy choices when I can and deal with the rest later.
Got up early this morning and did the TJ workout w/the weighted gloves. I’ll have to get up even earlier tomorrow b/c I have to take my older son to daycare and I barely made it on time as it was. I’m excited for this school year but I HATE getting up at 4:30.
Progress toward workout goal: 94/300
You’ll be a pro soon enough, don’t stress!
What time to you go to bed? I could never get up that early on a regular basis. Well, I could, but then everyone would hate me because I NEED my beauty sleep

Mexican healthy? Fajitas without the tortillas or rice. You can enjoy the beans (in moderation) and all of the meat and grilled veggies. :: drool ::
I am in awe at the fact of how early you get up to exercise.
You’re a star for getting up at 4:30! I get up at 6 in order to work out and am whiny about it!
I’m with tiny2b on this one…you are a rock star. I can barely roll out of bed at 5:15 for work, let alone exercise!
Hang in there- sounds like this stress is only temporary!
Welcome back! Always feels good to get back to school, doesn’t it? (Well, maybe not the first couple of days but after that) You’ll figure out the counseling routine before you know it. You seem to have a plan and I know you’re going to do fantastic!
Wow! And I thought I got up early! I admire your committment to exercise. I am so not a morning person.
