Evening All,
Lauren, glad that your meds seem to be working. Hope your mom's surgery goes well! She sure has been through a lot lately. Sending positive thoughts and hugs for you both of you, your way!
Pam, I enjoy logging into Sparkpeople just to keep track of my calories and fitness. I was amazed at what I thought was a small amount of food, but the calories is what was getting me. So I am sticking here for the chatting and support. LOL Hope you have a nice night's sleep.
Joan had to laugh at your comment about the aides. I know that last year, we had some really mean aides at my school. I am wondering while they were working there if they didn't enjoy it. I would check with your school district to see what requirements they have for their aides. At my school, you need to have a 2 year paraprofessional degree. Enjoy your time at the zoo tomorrow!
Rikki, sorry to hear that you are having a tough time right now with making your lifestyle changes. Just start out small and work your way up. I would change one thing in my eating habits every week. For example, drink more water, eat more veggies and fruits, cut out all the junk food and sweets, cut out pop. Intergrate one new habit a week until you are eating healthier. For excerise just start out by maybe walking for 10 mintues three or four times a week. Then just add 5 or 10 mintues on after you have gotten that habit done for a couple weeks. Before long you will be excerising 30 to 60 mintues a couple times a week. Hope this helps you!
Erin, glad to hear that you are doing better this week on your lifestyle change. I hope that you have a good weigh in on Wednesday. So are you still going to go to your WW's meetings or just weighing in at home? When do you start school? I start at the end of August. But we have our first day with our kids on Sept. 2nd. I am looking forward to going back to school. I really miss my kids. Plus I will not be bored at home either. LOL Watch after the first month of school, I will be counting down the days to Christmas vacation. LOL
GG, glad you had a good day at work. Hope you get some much needed rest this evening. Hope after your staff meeting tomorrow, you get a lot of things straightened out.
Alicia, sorry to hear that you had a rough day at work. Sounds like you enjoyed your pedicure and trip to the grocery store. That sounds like a nice store but a little too pricey!
As for you turning to comfort food during your time of anixities, could you think of something else to do besides eating. Like read a couple pages in a book, surf the net, take a walk, or start a new hobby. I wil be thinking about you. I know that you will get it straightened out soon!
Sunshine, sounds like you needed the sleep this morning. Hope you don't sleep in tomorrow. That was nice of your dd's instructor to give her her assignments that she missed. How long much does she have of summer school? Enjoy your evening!
Valerie, glad to hear that your day at work was a nice one! I hope that your evening was nice.
Hi Yana, hope you were able to relax some this evening. When does your family get back from Alaska?
Hi Toni, hope you are having a great day! When do you start back to school? I start back at the end of August. Looking forward to this year, I have $1000 grant to spend on healty foods to teach my MH students how to cook. So that should be fun. I hope that you got your letter of recommenadation done.
Hi to Lisa, Hanna, Christina and Trish. Hope you had a wondeful weekend! Hope your week is off to a good start.
I never did clean any of my house today. Was just too tired. So I did get my 2.5 mile Walk/Jog dvd in, helped make lunch, took at long nap, did the lunch dishes, typed some things for my mil on the computer, did some laundry, ate dinner and read a few pages in Just Beyond The Clouds by Karen Kingsbury. It is a really good book. Maybe I will go and read a few more pages in it. Or maybe I just might finish it tonight.
Chat with you all later. Have a nice evening.
Take care,
Kerry
