Weight Loss for the Week: 0lbs
I stayed on track with points during the week. This weekend, I splurged and went out to eat a lot. This week, my waist and my finances will require me to eat home more instead. I went on a few of my walks, but I did not make it on all of my walks this week. I got in a bit of a mood and just did not feel like it a few days- more on that below. I am resolving to do better with it this week, especially since I know that walking usually helps with the funky moods.
What a week. It was Homecoming Week at school which meant dress-out days, contests, decorations all over the hallways, and mainly crazy students. Overall, it was fine. The kids behaved pretty well- especially because I had work each day as always. Routine always helps with weeks like this. It was fun to see all the stuff though- made me think of my high school Spirit Week competitions. I even competed in the Students v. Teachers Tug-of-War (there's a video on my facebook if you're interested in seeing it). I went to the game Friday night, and even though our kids lost, it was still fun.
This weekend has been good. I stopped by First Friday before heading over to Homecoming, and that was nice as usual. I house-sat yesterday, so I got to relax with one of my favorite dogs. I also went shopping with Mom and Memaw at Mistletoe Market- so fun to get in the holiday mood! I even found a New Apartment ornament :) So perfect! Today, we had a brunch for Maddie's birthday, and that was pretty fun. Then, I went over to Kerry's to grade and prep while she studied. I swear, it's just like high school again, hehe.
This week has been a different one. I've been in a funk for most of it. It wasn't anything in particular that put me in the funk, but it took me almost all week to get out of it. And it didn't really hit me during school, but once I'd get home, it did. I think a big part of it was that I didn't really have someone to just call/see and talk to this week. Everyone has been just as crazy busy as I have been these days, and while I'm sure my friends and family would've listened to me, I felt like I'd be bothering them. Also, I wasn't in the mood to have to drive to see anyone. It just got to me. It made me depressed. I realized Friday morning that I hadn't had so much as a hug from anyone since Sunday (bumping into kids in the hallway does not count). It really bothered me. I know it's just part of life sometimes, especially now that I'm living on my own, but it still kinda sucks.
Fortunately, when I went to First Friday, I went into Kerry's house to get her. Then, when I was hugging her, I told her that it was the first hug I'd had since Sunday. She just hugged me tighter and hugged me a bit longer. It was exactly what I needed. I love having friends who just know what I need. I know it may sound inconsequential, but it's weird to not have it when you're used to it. I'm a hugger. I like hugs. I miss having some basic form of affection for long periods of time (it's usually the only thing I dislike about traveling on my own for a long time). But, I got a lot of hugs this weekend. And I'm hopeful that I won't go without them until Friday again this week :)
Okay, back to being positive :)
Tip of the Week: Ask for help, or a hug, when you need one. No sense in staying in a mood if you can find a way out of it.
