since it's almost February...
So, it's been one month since I thought I was dying...and I don't feel that great.
I haven't felt that great the past two days, actually.
Not to the point where I feel I'm dying, however.
I hope this isn't some kind of monthly pattern.
I do feel better tonight though.
I'm going to padres tomorrow night and it's volleyball night at church. I'm SO excited to play again. I'm going even if I still do feel a little rough.
I've taken off work Friday. I'm going to Amber's court date. I'm going to be moral support. She asked me to. I really hope she gets to come home. It's still kinda up in the air right now...No one knows for sure. She's been at the group home since June and has done well with every home visit...but it's all up to what the judge decides. Pray for her...and us as a family.
I'm trying to make myself enjoy this semester...but I've just not so far. I got so spoiled teaching Spanish II. I finally got things figured out for that course and then I had to go back to all I. Granted, I enjoy teaching first year, but it's challenging when you've got kids that just want to sit and be quiet and do work out of the book. I never in my life thought I'd have students that don't want to play games and would rather do the monotonous stuff! I'm all about not giving kids what they want, though, so we've been playing games at least twice a week, heh heh. Response has been semi-positive...so far. A friend told me that I had it in me to make them warm up to it. I sure hope so.
Joe already has this year's marching show picked out. Crazy right? But, it's awesome! I LOVE it. It's gonna be a Christmas show. I wrote him and told him I would start working now if I knew what he wanted. He wrote me back and also called and gave me the counts, sets, and equipment for the first piece of music. Needless to say I'm in the preparation mode of listening to the music and planning things out in my head. I guess I'll be doing more work outside, instead of in my living room. I've got nice stuff in there now, and I don't want to risk damaging any of it. (I use the pole part of my Swiffer when I'm the house, btw. It's a great small scale flag, til I forget and I scrape the ceiling tiles...oops.)
I am about 20 pounds to my WW goal weight...meaning I'm about 25 to my own personal goal. I am about 3lbs shy of what I weighed when I came back from Mexico in '03 and about 5lbs from the 180s. It'll be shopping time for sure when I hit 189. My plan is to buy at least one new pair of jeans...and a chocolate xtreme blizzard from Dairy Queen. Lol...I know the latter isn't the best investment...but I won't like, food is one of my incentives for myself. Til 189 it's fat free sugar free ice cream sandwiches or none at all. Pretty tough for an ice cream fiend like me. Oh...my Mom is in the 170s and so close to her goal weight. I am so proud of her! Best of all...she's proud of her. This'll be the lowest she's weighed in her adult life. It's been an amazing journey for us both so far...and I'm looking forward to what the rest of the year holds for us.
...I'm looking forward to what the rest of the year holds for me beyond weight loss. I still feel like this is gonna be my year.
