1/6- Some days I pray for silence, and some days I pray for soul, some days I just pray to the god of sex, and drugs, and rock and roll.

Weight Loss for the Week: 1lb

Ok, it was the first full week back at school which meant it was time to get back into the routine of it all.  And aside from being totally exhausted a few days, I was glad to be back on a schedule.  The kids had a few moments this week, but they'll get used to the fact that halfway there and all the way there are not the same thing.  There was overall improvement from Monday to Friday, so that's good. 

I pre-planned almost all my meals this week, I stuck to my exercise schedule, and, though it damn near killed my feet, I stood up and walked around for all my classes this week.  I also did not eat out as much as I was during the break. And when I did, I knew ahead of time so I could ration out my points and stay on track.  That's what I like about WW- I don't have to worry if I want to go out with people, I just need to know when and where we're going and I can usually figure out food and drinks and points and still have a good time :) I also made a point to eat some type of roughage each day- like kale, spinach, cabbage, bran, etc.

So, we're off to a good start for the year- if only the weather would figure itself out.  I mean, it was COLD, and then yesterday, it was warm- I even got a damn mosquito bite- now it's raining and the temperature is supposed to be dropping quickly.  I am taking my vitamins, doing my nasal rinse, and still having to take the occasional sinus headache pill.  I shouldn't complain, this time last year if this had been happening, I would've had a sinus infection so terrible that I'd be out for at least a few days.  I am so thankful for my septoplasty. 

Ok, time to attempt to be productive and face the rainy weather.  I will be finishing lessons, grading assignments, then shopping and cooking for the week.  I think I may try out a new recipe- that's one of my goals to try out a few new recipes each month to see what I like and then share them :)

Tip for this week: Add some roughage to at least one meal a day to help with digestion- it makes you feel better, I promise.
