Weight Loss for the Week: 1lb
This was an interesting week. It was my last week at my old school. I was excited, nervous, happy, sad, relaxed and anxious on a rather non-stop loop most of the week. A few coworkers joked that they hoped the week would feel never-ending to me. I have to admit, I hoped for the same thing. It's always hard to say good-bye. I know it's not like I'll never see them again, but it won't be the same. And even though I'm excited to meet new people, make new friends and start working at my new school, I know I'll miss working with so many wonderful people.
On my last day, we had a potluck with so much delicious food- definitely had to watch my portions on those. I did end up splurging some but was so full by the end that I wasn't hungry for dinner, so that helped even it out a little. Before the potluck, I had been pretty good about pre-planning my meals and watching what I was eating and getting some exercise in. So that splurge and the splurge last night at my "Peacing Out" party didn't end up costing me my week.
A few gals from my old school and I went out for a celebratory dinner and drinks and just had a blast! The restaurant was noisy and crowded and so full of life that we practically had to scream to be able to talk, but I enjoyed that. I did get a salad, act surprised. But I also treated myself to some chips, dips and sangria- very yummy though a bit high in points. Fortunately, I had saved most of my weekly points in anticipation of this night. I am all about the planning and knowing about any major event where I need to juggle my points a bit more than usual.
Now, I have a few weeks until I start teaching at my new school. So, I will be planning lessons and units, sleeping in until 7 or 8- such a luxury, and really focusing on my Weight Watchers by adding in more day-to-day activities and getting a better handle on things like snacking, etc. so that when school starts I'll be forming even better habits :)
