Keep on Truckin'

I lost again. I feel like I am back in my element. I really like this new skirt that I finally fit into. It is fun to have new clothes. I have been shopping for work clothes all week. It is annoying that I will find one pair of shorts at places and that is it: ONE PAIR. I think I am going to order some shorts online this week. Crazy. I did buy a few shirts again tonight and last night I got a pair of shorts. I think once I order online, I will have what I need for a while. It is nice to buy new clothes and to wear them but I hate the whole buying them.

I have two friends coming with me to meetings now. It is fun to not be alone! It also helps me to remember what I must do to be on track. Good stuff!

Back in the saddle.

Weigh in was today. I am down 11.4 since leaving Provo. That is a lot better than I thought it was going to be. It is nice to be back in my element. Being busy with work is a good thing. I actually admitted to a fellow teacher today that I was happy to be back at school. What a weirdo!

It was nice to be back at my meeting here in Provo as well. I actually stayed and chatted with my leader and the receptionist for an hour and then spent an hour talking with a co-worker in the parking lot. All very good chats.

Well, enjoy the new me. Ignore the garbage in the background. The students noticed my losing quite a bit today. One girl even said I had nice pants. I am glad I bought them this weekend. Now I just need new PE clothes.

Plus One. That's a Bogey Right?

Weighed in today. I gained a pound. My Weight Watchers leader today me that I was lucky after I said it was probably the fried cheese curds(and maybe the fun of Wednesday tacos!) from the demo derby last saturday. She also told me that in a few weeks I will have an easier time staying on track. I am a little disappointed with my slow down...I was doing so well for so long. I just have to remember to turn around and realize I still have lost over 40 pounds(and I do admit look pretty good in that new dress!). Having a few splurges while at home is okay. Good thing fried cheese curds are not available in Utah!

This next week is going to be full of surprises too. I am going to be in Madison on Monday to pick up my studying nephew so he can get back up to Rhinelander to take his final test. I then will go up to Northern Wisconsin(even more Northern that is) and see the Apostle Islands again. They are gorgeous. Then next Saturday, I have tickets to the Green Bay Packer's first Pre-season game. It is going to be a blast but all of these things entail weird eating. SIGH.

I think I am ready to be back in the grove of a safe routine. I sure will miss my summer but I must go back to work in order for summer to be held as sacred as it is!

Another Reason Why Alice Struggled in WI: Fried Cheesecurds!

And they were SO worth it!
