Down .8
Well the official weigh in was today at my WW meeting and I Am down .8 of a pound - so almost a pound! Although it does not sound impressive it is really good for me as I lose weight so slowly.
It seems all I am doing is running around right now. I am exhausted. This week I started teaching at the university. Just Wed night but 5:00pm - 9:30! One 30 minute break. It is a LONG time to talk blah blah blah! I gave them a 20 minute break and we left 20 minutes early. I was previously told this is how it is done, and as all the other classrooms were already dark when we left, I guess that is true. But my dear students wanted to talk to me after class so I did not leave until 9:45. WAAAAY past my bedtime.
The new teacher at my school is very active with the union and has lodged a grievance against our principal already. Not sure how effective that will be and noting she is on contract with that, I am not sure what will happen when the dust settles. I have no problem with the grievance, but somehow I think it will not work out well for us.
Had my last meeting with the psychologist today. Workers’ comp gave me a stress psychologist after that known drug user kid spit in my face last year (resulting in my having to get HIV testing every three months for 1/2 a year). Actually she first suggested 10 sessions (I was amazed she thought I needed that many) but I was more or less declared over it by session 3 but she wanted a 4th one after school started again to make sure I was ok. Nice enough I suppose but then again the board paid her $180 an hour to “cure” me of my stress. I just liked the idea of someone being FORCED to listen to me talk about ME for an hour!!!
Other than that, chickees not much is happening here. DH is at work and I am about to settle in and do the weekly work for the MEd course I am taking. Personally, I have found the first two weeks of that course a waste of time. It is a required course but the articles we have to read are lame and then we have to post a summary of 250 words, and comment on two other postings. So far I seem to be the only one who thinks the readings are useless (ok I am more diplomatic than that when I comment) and I am tired of the pompous postings by the PhD students. OY!! This course ends on Dec 4. I can barely wait.
Keep up the fight, blog buddies.
Hey - I was at the university fair at the convention centre and for the most part if was a lot of fun. Lots of energy flying around. I will be back in TO sometime before xmas I think and maybe we can cross paths then.
Congrats on the weight loss — that’s 2 weeks of pretty decent numbers!
