It's Been Awhile...

Sorry, it has been a few weeks since my last post.  I had a couple discouraging weeks, as far as weight loss goes.  I was averaging .05 lb loss per week, and a couple where I didn't lose anything at all.  I hate time like that.  They make me want to give up!  But I did redeem myself this week!  I lost 4 lbs!!!  I was so excited!  So, now I am pretty much back on track.  I set goals for myself and now I am that much closer to meeting them!  This brings my total weight loss to 17 pounds lost since the beginning on January!

Work has been crappy.  The kids all have spring fever.  And it doesn't help that the weather won't cooperate.  The kids want to be outside, but we keep getting weird cold, snowy, weather!  They are all over the place.  I am going to try and stay positive and keep my eye on the finish line that is June 2nd!

On another note, I am picking up my Mom from the airport tomorrow!  She will be staying with me until next Tuesday!  I have been very busy with regular life stuff and making preparations.  I have cleaned my apartment, went grocery shopping, went on a date, and gotten my haircut.  Now I just have to organize my desk at school and get my car washed!  I keep meaning to get my car washed, but it keeps raining!  I refuse to pay to wash my car when there is a storm on the way.

That's all there is for now!  I will try to post again soon!

2 1/2 months left!

Well, parent teacher conferences are officially over for the year. I only have one more big hurdle to overcome, and that is the CRT state tests. We start next month and I feel that my class will never be ready! I am just trying to do what I can to keep my sanity and get through the rest of this school year! So, the posts might be short for a while; but I will try to keep up with it!

As far as weight loss goes, I have been sick and out of the exercise routine for the last few weeks. So, losing weight have been a little slow and frustrating. I have been averaging about a half a pound each week for the last two or three weeks. So, I have only lost 13 pounds total. I usually set goals for myself and I wish that I was closer to meeting them.

In other news, I am so close to getting one of my ESL students into resource! I have literally been trying to accomplish this ALL YEAR! Usually the process takes 6 weeks; but because she is ESL, it takes twice as long! It is frustrating because this should have been done for her in first grade! Now she is way too far behind! It is because it takes so long and you have fill out so much paperwork. No one ever has the time. I told her mother that I refused to let this girl get into fifth grade without having this finished. Which is good, because if that happened they would have to start the process all over again. I have a meeting about on Thursday and I am hoping to finish it by then. Wish me luck!
