Bring on the kids
Current weight: 220.5 (+.5)
I have been missing but it’s not b/c I have gone on a binge, I have just been BUSY! School has been crazy and we’re still cleaning like crazy people trying to sell the house. I haven’t eaten perfectly but for inservice week I’m very happy w/the choices I have made.
Exercise has been good, although not exactly what I had planned. Yesterday I got up early to lift and do TJ and Kyle woke up 10 minutes into my weight routine. Fortunately the rain cleared in the afternoon so when I got home from school I cut the grass so I still got in my workout. This morning I got up early and did the workout intended for Thursday. I think I’m realizing I’m going to have to be flexible w/my workout schedule. I’m definitely going to have to workout before school and hope there’s time to fit in something short after school. It’s probably a good thing that I have to pick up Justin b/c I have to leave every day at 3:15. We get out at 2:30 but a lot of the counselors stay until 4 or later. I can’t leave a 6-year old stranded at school so it’s a legit reason to leave “early”.
I’m really pleased w/Justin’s new school. We’re staying in the same district but switching elementary schools and although his school last year was good and we really liked his teacher, communication wasn’t her strength. There were several times that I emailed her about things and never received a reply. Last night I emailed his new teacher to explain why I won’t be at orientation on Monday (I have to be at orientation at my school) and to tell her a little bit about Kyle. I also contacted the counselor so she was aware. His teacher emailed me back right away this morning and the counselor called me to talk about it. I’m a person who likes a lot of communication so I think this will be a good fit.
No news yet on the house but we’re having another open house this weekend. Our builder told us this week that we’re only about 6-7 weeks away from being done. Yay!
I think I’m going to be more absent from this site than I would like but I’ll check in when I can. I hope to catch up w/all of you over the weekend.
Progress toward workout goal: 96/300
I’ve been thinking about you and Patty and the other teachers… what a job you all have. I can’t seem to handle two kids. I don’t know how I would fare in a classroom of them.
So glad the schooling for your son and yourself is working out. You have a lot of exciting things coming up. I wish you the best. I hope you plan to stick with the w8challenge too. It’s good to see you scoring all of those stars.
Fingers crossed on your open house!!
The start of school and all the new routines always take some adjusting. Sounds like you are going to be working with some great teachers for your kids! Good luck with the new school year!!
Definitley good to pick up Justin every day. Otherwise, as you know, school can eat you up and you have lots of other things to take care of.
I bet you’re really excited about the house moving along so quickly! Can’t wait to hear about you getting moved in and settled!
