10/22- A pinch of your brother, a teaspoon of you, with the head of your sister would make a good stew. I'd give you a taste, but your tongue's in the stew

Weight Loss this Week- 0lbs.

I would have lost weight if I hadn't splurged Friday and Saturday.  But I did, I went and celebrated a friend's birthday on Friday.  And on Saturday I just splurged cause it was dinner and a movie night with a friend. 

I'm a bit sick of plateauing. I think I know what to do to kick start the larger weight loss amounts again, but I get busy and just don't seem to get around to it.  I need to do better. I will do better.  It helps that I'm about to do a few 5ks in the next month and a half.  In fact, I have the first this Saturday.  I'm doing Race for the Cure with my friend's work group.  I am quite excited to be a part of that.  It's great to raise money for a good cause and to have a goal to work towards workout wise.

I did better with the eating during the week and going on the elliptical a few times.  I just need to make sure I keep that up and increase it. 

Otherwise, the week was okay.  It was a weird week at the school.  I only saw my freshmen once, my sophomores had testing and I had to make my seniors be as close to silent as possible due to the testing. And I couldn't go in my room since they used it for testing in the mornings.  I was just thrown out of my loop most of the week.  I know it seems like it would be easier to have no classes or to have the BS classes that occur when students are burnt out from testing, but I am so happy to be back to a normal week with a normal schedule and the ability to get to really teach.

This weekend was good :)  I had fun celebrating my friend's birthday with her.  We had a wonderful conversation and got to sit outside at one of our favorite places.  It was a lovely night.  Then, on Saturday, I went with another friend to the Dixon to see all the fall colors bursting on the trees.  We went and voted after that- by the way, GO VOTE!!!!! I do not care which candidate you vote for, but you better vote.  Too many people have suffered in too many ways for us to have the privilege of voting, so don't waste it.

Afterwards, I rested and then went to see "The Perks of Being a Wallflower" with yet another friend that night.  That movie was so good!  I laughed, I cried, I was totally floored at the end.  I could not get out of my chair for almost five minutes, I was just processing the whole, wonderful movie.  Definitely recommend.

Ok, time to rest up before the week begins :)
