8thSeptember

So what did we accomplish, Mr. Scale?

166.5

That’s where perfect week has left me. I said I’d be satisfied with that and I will, as long as it stays down, but I can’t help feeling a little let down that this is where I was after the first day of Perfect Week.  Logically, I know I wouldn’t still be here if I hadn’t worked my butt off all week but still…Today, I’m going to rest. Take in more calories and I may skip exercise. Compared to last week, this week should be much easier. No after school meetings, no cooking for the masses. Maybe I can get some paperwork caught up and see my desk again.

1:00 p.m. - I’m actually sitting down and eating my lunch.  Taking a real “lunch break” as it were.  Don’t know if it’s just me or everybody else but people keep making me mad!  I got to work at 7:10 this morning and one of the counselors grabbed me the minute I walked in the door with an emergency computer issue.  I took care of it for her and then headed to the office to sign in.  Mind you, I don’t start getting paid till 7:30.  I go up to the counter to sign in and the sign-in sheet is missing and the secretary is gabbing on the phone.  So…I stand there a minute or so and then the 7:30 bell rings and she’s still talking and then, when she gets off the phone, she sets out the RED sign-in sheet that you have to use if you sign in after 7:30.  I have never signed in on red and wasn’t about to do it this morning.  I refused to sign it and the same damn counselor that kept me occupied for 15 minutes fixing her computer says, “It really doesn’t mean anything, Pat.  I know you were here on time.  Just go ahead and sign it.  It’s not a problem.”  Maybe it’s not a problem for her but it’s definitely a problem for me.  I still refused to sign it so she initialed it for me.  I told her the only way I would sign a red sheet would be if they also put out a green one that we can use to sign out at 7:30 or 8:00 p.m. after putting in five or six hours of unpaid work.  Really!  That put me in a crummy mood.  Usually, I work straight through lunch but I’m taking it off today!  I’ll also be out that door at 2:30 on the nose.

You are a wonderful dedicated teacher Patty. I hope that this week is much easier on you than last week. You had so many demands and went through so much stress and handled it like a trooper! My hope is when we put our DS in school next year his teacher is a wonderful as you.

Dont be too upset about your perfect week. You numbers are good on the scale. Maybe you cut your calories a little too much and you body went into starvation mode? it might take another week to get out but I know you can do it. You are sooooo close Patty. We both have kind of close to the same amount of weight to lose (I might have about 8 pounds more than you to lose). BUT we can do this together! Stay strong. Have a wonderful Monday!

Maybe it will all come rushing off this week.. your body just has to adjust to perfect weeks! And that’s great you kept up a perfect week! I usually get to about Wednesday and then quit.

Our bodies are so weird, you may end up losing more this week when you increase your calories. The more important thing is that you proved to yourself that you could do it, so nothing is going to stop you now. Plus, now that you’re getting closer to your goal it’s going to come off more slowly. Biology is cruel, isn’t she? Hope this week is much easier, and when you get done cleaning off your desk could you come work on mine?

What is with this nutrisystem stuff. That stuff taste terrible. You wont stick to that! If you are going to eat diet food then try weight watchers or healthy choice. At least they taste good.

Patty,
That school does not value you as much as they should. I hope that the rest of your week goes much better. You should take your lunch. You deserve a rest from your hectic day. Donna is soooo right Nutrisystem is sooooo gross. I used to be on that. Weight watchers or healthy choice is so much better. So is Lean Cuisine. Have a wonderful night Patty.

Red sign in sheet? Do they think you are 5 years old? And the fact that you were there BEFORE 7:30 and it was her fault you didn’t get to sign in – sheeeeesh!

I’m glad you got your perfect week done. Even if it did leave you wishing a rectal probe on your hubby LOL
