Feeling good, actually.
Less about losing weight and more about looking and feeling good.
I mean, I do need to lose, but I am not going to go into some 'starvation mode' to do it.
Still hovering 212, broke to 211 yesterday (but back up today).
Would like to break 200 if possible, which I believe it is without compromising the program.
Otherwise,
so much still to do this weekend- way, way, way behind!

Transformation
Well- One month no smoking.
For the most part, easy, as the major craves are gone. Although every once in a while, I feel a pang. Down to one pill a day as well.
Diet- three weeks.
Lost approx 8 lbs thus far.
Weight goes up and down, and seem to be hovering around 212 for the past week. Need to break it. I would like to be as close to 200 by the end of next week as possible.
Don't think that loseit.com is necessarily the best site, but it seems to work OK. I think the calories are off a bit, as I've expected to lose more weight.
Workout- two weeks.
Going good, nearly habitual. Following the bb.com workouts. I could probably do a bit better, be more focused, but I think I am doing OK for first-timer.
I see changes. I need to decide that weight is not the be-all. Do I look better? Are clothes fitting? I guess that if I knew that I was losing fat, but gaining muscle, I'd be more OK.
In that "puffy" stage- muscles hurt a bit, somewhat soft.
Back on realjock.com- but not for games. Good site for info, music (free), etc.
Otherwise-
Feeling better (which always happens) with working out. Focus (procrastination) around the house is still an issue, but will come around.
Lots to do this weekend- errand weekend, cleaning, bbsitting, paint (due next week for Heart Art), plus work stuff.

End of First Semester
Thank God!
Pretty easy week actually and every was graded by the end of the week. Mainly Cs for my 8th graders (need to go back to the basics, I think), B-Cs for my HS II (not close to what I expected), and HS I is pretty much finished- I think there will be eight on Monday (?- at least I hope).
1/2 day on Friday, 1-3, so had no classes and got a lot of work done. Still there until 3 or so, but did not have to take so much home.
Otherwise-
4th week no smoking- getting easier.
2nd week diet- gaining weight, so a bit disappointing. I need a real strong fat burner and readjust my diet.
1st week gym- serious plan, going well.

Thank goodness today is off (MLK), but too much wasted time this weekend has really gotten my behind.

First Week of 2011
Somewhat of a whirlwind, really.
Pretty much the 'WORK' week thus far, will finish the week over the 60-hour mark, which is quite too much. Grading and more grading- up until midnight Thursday, making Friday was somewhat off-kilter (but it worked). Revamped schedules (once again), so it will be a bit easier- basically review and exams for the next couple of weeks- but very accountable.
The week did go by pretty quick though.
I need to re-approach second semester from a different direction, as I am not getting the results I want. Not sure yet.
Two week mark of not smoking- feels like longer. Driving is getting much easier (chewing gum), but mornings, in general, seem to be the worst until 11 or so. Especially on days off. Once I hit 4-5 o'clock, I have no cravings at all. Meds working as well as they should, I guess, although I wish there was something to deal with the cravings (and subsequent eating).
Gym is on during the week, but still fighting the afternoon workout and weekend. Do not understand why it is such a struggle.
No movement on DCFS- still waiting for David to have his med physical. No rush really, as nothing will happen until post-Spain, but we need the homestudy to get the license to be able to get more info.
Bathroom on the agenda right now- need to make some changes, and waiting for another estimate. Going to be somewhat expensive, but it needs to be done before any kids come. Also working on the first bedroom.
It is all so slow and sporadic. I just need to focus and get stuff done.
