WW Week 5 Weigh-In

Posted renewme on December 13th, 2007 | Filed under General

It was a  challenging day today with my 2 boys.  Youngest woke up asking if they had school today.  When I told him yes he started crying and whining that he didn’t want to go.  He had a whole list of exuses, from he doesn’t like it, it’s boring, “I wish I was homeschooled, to I don’t feel good.  He did that for an hour+ until it was almost time to go.  I drove him and his brother to school and he got out of the van fine, and waved goodbye.  I then had a nice quite day until they came home from school and they began fighting and arguing. 

 Made it to WW meeting.  It was an interesting drive there.  The trees and bushes look beautiful all covered in ice.  Had to watch out for melting ice falling from trees and power lines though.  I saw quite a few falling not too far in front of me while driving.  Todays leader was an interesting lady.  She wore a very bright and colorful sweater with a jeweled christmas tree.  She also had an electronic message button that the words scrolled like a sign outside a bank.  She was funny, and had some good points.  It was scrolling “Merry Christmas”.   After 6 weeks on the program WW changed it a little, and I received week 1 materials again as did everyone else.  There really are no changes to the flex plan, so it doesn’t make much difference to me.  I was pleased to see that I was down another 1.4 lbs, for a grand total loss of 12 lbs.  I’m now at 196.8.  I’ve lost 2. 6 lbs toward my 4 lb goal  by the New Year!

 I was out shopping and realized that it was about time for dd to get home, so I decided to head home myself.  Well, the time for her to be home came and went.  I thought maybe the bus was just running late, or had some trouble.  It got to be about 15 min past her usual arrival, so I tried to call her cell phone, and heard it ringing on the table at home!  So I looked up her friends number to call and see if they had stayed after for some reason.  Friend said she had stayed for a meeting about tutoring.  I felt a little better, but still felt I needed to check for sure, so called the school and they went to check that she was there.  A few minutes later she came to the phone.  She said she couldn’t call because both the student phones were in use and one friend was out of minutes on her phone and the other’s was almost dead.  I was relieved that all was OK, but still not happy that she had not found a way to call home.  I ‘m sure there were other people around with phones even if they weren’t necessarily a good friend.
