Chasing away Chubby
…my scandelous pursuit of 155!
Another crazy Monday

Sorry I have been MIA for so long. Things got pretty crazy. I had a portfolio that was due, and it took me about 80 hours to get it all uploaded to livetext. Then I had checkpoint 3 interviews, which went amazingly well! I scored the highest score that I could on the interview. :) So that made me happy. Then I had my last “Solo week” of student teaching. This is my last week of student teaching. I am “phasing out” so there is nothing for me to do this week. I was suppose to teach this morning since my supervising teacher had a meeting, but I couldn’t go in. My eyes are all swollen up and ITCHY from some sort of allergic reaction. I am breaking out in hives and just now I had a small blister form on my knuckle. Yesterday I kept getting dizzy and at times felt short of breath. So I called in today. Hoping this subsides so that I can get better.
During the 80 hour upload nightmare. I did nothing but work and sit in front of my computer. It was TOM week so I ate bad things and retained some water. Because of that I saw the number on the scale I never wanted to see again. 228. My highest weight ever- again for the second time!! UGH! So I hopped back on the eating healthy train and lost 5 pounds last week. I am now back down to 221 so that is a loss of 7 pounds in about a week and a half.
I ran last week one day and was able to run over a mile without stopping. Next week I am going to get serious about my training for the 5K. If I get serious about this I can lose 30 pounds before summers end.
Well that starts next week because by then my student teaching will be OVER.
I graduate on May 16th.
Well that is about all for now. I will try to check back in tomorrow!

Wow graduation is less that two weeks away for you! Awesome!
I can imagine how the 80 hours at the computer would easily slip into eating junk for most of us. You have a great attitude, you picked right back up and moved on!
WTG on the running … I don’t think I could ever do a mile straight, lol. I don’t know what my problem is but running I just cannot handle!
Hope the itchies clear up soon!

Well, I was hoping to read the reaction was gone…if it doesn’t go away, maybe go see a doc.
Sounds like a super stressful week for you…I know I kept seeing your fb updates…course I had no idea what they meant…LOL…but it sounds like it is all behind you and now you have graduation to look forward too!!
Feel better….missed you!
