It’s all up to me

Finally real life is back.  We are at school, on time, which means a regular day.  I have not been at school since 10:30 on Monday due to my son’s appt and then 2 snow days.  They were great while they were here but I know I’m going to be cursing them in June.  Oh well, nothing I can do about it.

<> The good news is that usually when I’m at school I don’t have as much difficulty sticking to my diet.  I am so busy and I follow a general routine where I have lots of snacks and eat a salad for lunch.  I will be able to workout after school because my hubby will pick up the kids.  Hooray.  Then life gets all crazy again because I’m having LASIK surgery tomorrow but I’m guessing I’ll do pretty good  on the diet after that because I’ll be knocked out for a while afterward due to the valium.

I slipped up and hopped on the scale this morning even though I wanted to wait until Sunday.  What is it about a stupid machine that has so much power over us.  Fortunately it was a good gamble, I’m down to 285.5 from 289.0 on Monday.  It has been a huge struggle but the closest I have come to falling off the plan is a bunch of baby carrots the last 2 days.  I know they are healthy but they are higher in carbs than I typically allow myself.  But I figured they were better for me than some hi-fat cheese or other approved lo-carb item.

I guess I had better get ready for the day.  The kids are going to be absolutely crazy after being home for 2 days so I need to make sure my lesson plans are in tip-top shape.  Have a good day, everyone!
