Bleh

My allergies are killing me this week. I am coughing up a lung as I attempt to type this. And when I'm not doing that I am competing for the world record of the most sneezes in 1 hour.

Wednesday weigh-in was 247.8 lbs. Woot back down a little. :) And now it's bed time before I really get that lung up. ~Hugs~Jen

Walking

My stomach is still upset and of course I had a dr. appt today......but not that kind. :) My latest recheck and then I go back in December. Joy oh joy I love paying $50 a visit. Darn ins!

So anyways I got on here again to log my actual mileage from yesterday and today so far as well. I set my goal at 5 miles a day. Today I forgot about putting the pedometer on until I had to go to work. So my morning steps are missing. Not that there were very many this morning at all being that I slacked off because I felt crappy.

9/10 steps: 11,003   miles: 2.94
9/11 steps: 12,262   miles: 3.28

Well bedtime now for me because I have been super sleepy lately.....darn this whole waking up early to get the kids on the bus thing. ~Hugs~

Ugh

Weighed in yesterday at 248.4 lbs. Heh that's a 0.2 lb gain for TOM week - I'm not thinking about it. But I also started walking the kids to the bus stop and home from it too. About a 1/4 a mile one way. I walked a little over 2 miles yesterday before my body rebelled and made me sick. Of course it would happen the night we had the lady coming over to finalize our refinance on the house. UGH! So there I was either in bed under MANY blankets to keep warm or dashing to the bathroom. I won't go into further details than that but man sometimes I hate when something makes me sick. However I am resisting the urge to jump on the scale and see if being sick made a difference in my weight. LOL

Now just to get enough motivation to attempt to eat breakfast and hope that my stomach doesn't rebel against me again. ~Hugs~

Morning

I think I told you guys that my position was eliminated at the school and I found out before school started. But the good thing is that I am now a full-time lunch lady (yeah I know how glamorous!) and ft is only 10 hrs a week. But that is a good chunk of change for me and will more than help me pay my way to my friends wedding - woot! But it is right in the middle of the day of course so I have been sweating my butt off. I think I drank twice my normal amount of water the past two days. Ugh my allergies are kicking in right now and I am having a sneezing fit. I really hate this. I love the weather but hate my reaction to this time of year.

So weight wise since this is a weight loss blog. :) I am holding at 248.2 lbs as of Wednesday weigh-in. Which isn't so bad considering TOM is soon. And exercise - well back to the lunch lady routine and I walked to the bus stop yesterday afternoon so that was a 1/4 a mile.

Well time to clean and then work and then shopping. Man my day is full. :)

Duh....

Got the kids on the bus and off to school this morning. Had an email yesterday saying that the reason I was hired last year at the school - the half mile club - would not be continuing this year. However they will still offer the kids the option to walk if there is enough supervision. Ok great I'm out a job I get to thinking. Then I continue to read the email and we will need extra lunch people because of our numbers increasing this year. And would I be interested in this. Yay of course - duh. I need to make money to pay for my flight and other stuff for my best friend's wedding (good movie too ;) ). So more days each week working is fine with me now to just figure everything else out. lol

After dropping the kids at the bus I came home and got to feeling crappy. Then I realized that I had basically been awake since 5:30 am (not by choice stinkin dog) and still had not eaten breakfast. Another duh! moment for me because I know better and had to make them eat but did I - nope. I was too busy trying to make sure their pencil boxes were ready to go because I was slacking on getting their stuff together.

I fell off the face of the earth......

I'd say I've been busy but truthfully unless it was knitting I haven't been doing much of anything else lately. The kids are going back to school on Tuesday and I have fallen off the Herbalife wagon. Simply because I cannot afford to buy shake mix in addition to our weekly food intake at this time. The only upside is that for the past two weeks I have maintained at 248.0 lbs. I am holding at my 10% goal I've been watching what we eat and what I buy and that has helped. Also upping the amount of fiber in my diet has helped as well.

I went to get an accurate size on the bridesmaids dress for my friends wedding in November. I tried on - yes I am going to ACTUALLY tell you my size. ;) I tried on a size 20 & an 18 today. The flow of the dress made both fit - it was fitted in the boobs so I can wear a smaller size. hehe The 20 gapped under my armpits a little and the 18 fit awesomely. I am taking into consideration that the dresses they provide for you to try on are tried on by a lot of people which can lead to stretching. So I am planning to loose 15 lbs in the next 2 months. Then hopefully I won't need any alterations done if I order the size 18. Or maybe just some tucking in on the sides under the armpits. We shall see, we shall see. :)

Slowly going.....

Weighed in last night after dinner (past my normal weigh in time) and it was 249 lbs. I'd been 240.6 lbs that morning in my pjs. hehe Weighed in again this morning  at 246.0 lbs with normal clothes on. If I use the weigh in from this morning I am down 1.4 lbs to make it a total of 12.6 lbs lost. Or I can use last nights weight and be up 2 lbs.....

Either way not exactly where I wanted to be at when I got to my 10 year reunion time. That is in September but I am not going to mine because of a schedule conflict. However this weekend we are heading to Mike's 10 year reunion. Not by his choice either. hehe I would have graduated with him had my parents not split up then gotten back together and moved in 7th grade. So a lot of my friends from elementary school (and some I still see today) who are my best friends will be there. Plus others that I met after elementary school and became fast friends with. I am looking forward to this more than Mike is but he is willing to go if it will make me happy. Who knows maybe some of his friends will actually be there.....maybe. They aren't exactly the reunion type though.

The other exciting part of my weekend would be seeing my new niece for the first time. Well back to finishing her blanket or it will never be done in time! ~Hugs~Jen~
