Just checking in
Hi. So it's been a little while. I don't have a lot of time before I have to get home. I'm sure there's a lot that I would like to write. I did my 5k. My time for the 5k was 29'05. That's pretty awesome. I was just hoping to do it under 30, which meant my pace per mile was pretty well under 10 minutes. I am new and not fast yet.
I am excited for our trip to Buffalo, but Doug has been asking me why I'm so excited. It's one of the few things I am looking forward to. I have started scheduling people to do things with.
I have plateaued on my weight loss right now and that sucks. I think it is partly because I don't move a lot during the day when I'm with the kids because that is a crazy time. And I am probably putting on some muscle, but I really am worried that I will start putting on weight and that makes me anxious.
Summer school has been moving right along. I have to come in Wednesday to work because Kim needs to leave early today. Veronica had her first little Space Camp today. I'm so grateful that we are able to afford to do little things like send her to a mini camp. I think things will be pretty busy around the house until we leave for our trip. We have the scouts coming by this weekend. Lennon will come by Thursday. There's VBS and 4H stuff next week. It will be busy.
The "last" of Barrett's teeth are coming in. The canines. He's had a little fever and been poopy and cranky. It's rough for him. He's been through it. I hope it will pass in the next week and he will start to feel better. I hate it for him. He's been trying to say more. Like stuck and ball and dada. I just love him. And Veronica.
I have bought some new clothes. I am in a size medium shirt. I had been wearing xl. So I guess that illustrates that I have lost weight. It's hard for me to see it because it's my own body. I don't feel like I look much different at all. I dropped some pant sizes as well. I was in like a 14 (or 16) and now I'm in a 10. Pants fit me strangely though. I have thick thighs and calves. And I KNOW it's muscle because I have seen it. I've always had big legs... So when things fit in one way, they don't fit as well in the other.
I am hoping that the personal training that will happen in July will help me to lose some of those last pounds and will help me be more toned in the abs, arms, and legs. Then I just have to keep it up for the rest of my life.
Well, there is a lot to look forward to, and a lot of fun things happening now. I just have to get back to help out Kim. Maybe I will write more on Wednesday when I am back here finishing my work. (By then, I will have pretty much everything done for the summer school set up, I will just have to come in to grade and take attendance.) That means Mondays will be time for me to work on BIO168 for the fall. I feel like soon it will be a joke and that I will never end up teaching it. Whatevs.
