ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzz

I have no clue what is wrong with me. Granted, I am working some long days right now, but really...I've had long days before and have always come back with a killer workout. Today I had dinner and then sat down on the couch with the intention to workout after 45 minutes. Ya'll..I fell asleep!! For almost 3 hrs. I mean, each time I tried to get up, I felt so heavy, groggy tired...so I'm giving myself today to just chill. maybe it's jsut coming down from all the hype of this weekend and the stress of finding out about my position (tomorrow is the big day!), I'm not even going to try to figure it out! I'm going to finish watching Biggest Loser and then hit the hay.

Tomorrow is a new day and if it's one thing I've learned is sometimes, you just have to let it go and not beat yourself up over something you can't change. Tomorrow is hump day and I am ready for it! Last day of testing and ready for whatever news awaits me. I absolutely believe everything happens for a reason so I will be ready for any and all of tomorrow. Wish me luck and send me "WAKE UP" vibes!

Scuse the mess

This is what a home looks like when you have 4 men, 3 women and 2 little teeny girls all trying to get firme looking for a pachanga...so excuse the background but let's pay attention to what's REALLY important..lol....Mama B has reached her first goal of 15 lbs by Mo's birthday. And if we're going to get all technical (which you really have to when you're on a weight loss struggle, oops I mean journey)...my official weight loss today is at 220.1...a total of 15.6 pounds lost. So happy. I'm back to the place I was last time I started this journey. And now I have to work extra hard to keep it moving forward.

My big goal for the week is to be under 220..which as I had started to say last time would be the first time in a long long time...I count like 3 yrs maybe. So let's get it started! I'm ready for a week of commitment. I did good yesterday...even with all the sinful food and cake and soda...mama B stuck to water..okay and a miniscule piece of cake with no icing..so I'll take that.

Anyway, let's see if the end of this week is a good one for me. I predict yes. Positive visualizations.....219..219...219...lol...

Not taking my work home with me....

What a day it was! You know, we are in the process of being told that several positions district-wide are being cut.....pinche budget cuts!! Of course they make this dramatic announcements and now tell us we have to wait until the 9th to find out who is getting cut...oh WONDERFUL....so that of course leads to an AMAZING work environment..only, not.so.much....so it just put me in a MOOD. But I was determined to leave all the nastiness as well as THE MOOD at work...I went grocery shopping. Loaded up on alll the goodies and then came home and did 3 workouts.

I did the Biggest Loser cardio workout. The Biggest Loser strength training workout and the Walk Away the Pounds 1 mile workout....yea..!! I feel so much better. Forget the period, forget the work stress, I promise to wake up in a better mood tomorrow.....

The Fit

That to the left..is not me...but that's the dress I finally tried on and bought for Mario's party this weekend. I have to say, I almost didn't recognize it when I went looking for it online..it looks so different on me, but it's the one. Ready for some great news.....I got it in one size smaller than usual. Size 18. Shee--yaaah. Granted, it's the size I was wearing before the madness started and I blew up to a 20 but who cares...its a size 18...and it fits..perfectly...and I felt good, no..GREAT in it.

I lost .5 this week. Not too bad considering I didn't feel completely successful this week. Didn't work out as much as I had planned and my eating was a bit off today but still.... .5...a loss is a loss, I'll take it and work really hard to get at least 2 by next Sunday (even WITH Mo's party the night before..hehe)

In any case, I am ready for tomorrow. The beginning of week 4 of this journey. I feel strong, ready Watch out to my competitors..I'm feeling it...purple just MAY be the winners this week! ;-)

TGI Almost F

It's been a looong week. My sister started working with me at my school. Which is great! She's doing a really good job. But I AM the older sister (I won't say big) and am also bossy, a perfectionist, and anything else that will excuse me from not only doing my job all week, but also running around after her to make sure she's doing hers right. To be fair (to me, of course), schools are not the best training ground. You are expected to jump in, with both feet, galoshes and go to war...okay maybe war's not the best example when dealing with a bunch of "problem" children, but you get the point. So I've been shadowing her so that she can ask me anything she might need to when dealing with a kid who refuses to take off his blue shirt...or chasing pot smokers...you know....stuff...

So anyway, let me tell you, if my pedometer would actually WORK, it would prove that I have probably walked well over 15,000 steps each day....but I'm sure its registered like 132 or some other stupid number..(last week when I did 4 miles...which should have been 8,000 steps...it registered 1,132...STUPID!)..bottom line is, I have been WORKING hard....add to that, this ridiculous cold and my favorite Aunt stopping in a couple weeks early, I can't WAIT for tomorrow....or should I say...tomorrow at 4pm.

But have no fear, I have been staying on the ball. Not as much working out as I would have hoped for, yet, but I have the weekend to make up some pointage......lol..new word...pointage...use it, live it, love it.
