It's been one week...

since you looked at me
Cocked your head to the side
and said I'm angry

Haha. But seriously, I'm one week in to the new year and my do-over journey. lol.

I bought a battery for my scale on Saturday and popped it in last night. This morning when I checked to see where I was after one week I seen this number.

Down 5.8 lbs in one week

Woohoo! Successfully in to the 280s and staying there. I wasn't sure since those last 2 days I couldn't check. Yesterday I actually ate over my MFP calorie goal and did not workout at all so I was a tiny bit worried. I just wasn't feeling like working out since Jett had a friend over and I had a lot of work to get done anyways. The eating was just because I still felt hungry so I snacked extra. I don't feel guilty about it much. I feel like it's alright to eat more on days when you are more hungry as long as you are binge eating a whole pizza or something crazy. 

Today, I managed to workout once in the morning and once this evening. I also spent most of my day at work redoing my classroom and setting it up how I want it to be since it used to be someone's else's room their name was still on a lot of things too so I changed that sort of stuff around and then made sure I had all my required postiings up on the walls and redid the bulletin board in the hallway that still had Christmas decorations on it.  I should have taken a picture but totally forgot. It's cute though. :)

Snow!

That's right... snow here in Texas! It's been a couple years since I last seen any real fluffy white snow around these parts. We started this week a gorgeous 70 degree day out bike riding and now here it is freezing cold already! That's Texas weather for you though. We can experience all 4 seasons in the same day even. Haha. I only wish I had the chance to take pictures but I was at work during the snow. I let my students peek out the door at it though and they all tried to catch snowflakes with their tongue.

I managed to do another workout last night even though I really didn't want to. I felt much better after doing so.

My low battery sign has been flashing on the scale since yesterday morning so I couldn't check my weight yesterday or today. I'm about to head out to the store for a few things though and going to see if I can get a battery for it while I am out.

First goal achieved!

I did it! This morning when I stepped on the scale I saw myself hit the first goal I set of 289 lbs! It's been over a year since I have seen a number lower than the 290s so this feel pretty amazing. Ignore my ugly chipped nail polish.. but here it is.

My first goal weight has been achieved!

So needless to say my morning started out on the right foot. I was still skeptical about how things at work would go today, but they actually went okay. Day 2 of my new position and so it's still rough around the edges and taking some getting used to, but it helps that the kids already know me and today there were only 10 instead of the 16 I had yesterday. 6 kids make a lot larger difference than it might seem! I was able to teach a lot more of my curriculum without as many interruptions and distractions as the previous day though still not as much as I am supposed to be getting done. Hopefully lessons will come easier to us all as time goes on though.

Last night I mentioned how I might decide to do a workout from Amazon again if I could talk myself in to it but I never actually did. I am okay with that though since I was still exercising in my free time at work. Today I did a lot more exercising during our time in the gym and even did some invisible chair wall squats. The kids got a real kick out of that one and even tried to climb in my lap. hah. Today however I felt great after getting home and having dinner with my family so I went ahead and asked my husband and son to please let me have 20 minutes with the TV even though they already started playing one of the new video games my son got fro Christmas. They finished up their first round and then let me take my turn. It's nice having the support of loved ones. I knew if I waited until after they were done I would just find some other excuse not to do it.

All in all, today was a pretty great day and I am stoked to keep moving forward. I did get asked by a 5 year old if I had a baby in my belly though.. and a 4 year old asked me the same thing yesterday... darn kids. lol
