life after 10/20...

ahhh...i am so so so so so glad that october 20 is over. you see, most of my students have been preparing for this oct. 20 concert since july...it was a concert where 3000 kids (nope, not a typo. there were actually 3000 kids) played a concert together and everyone had to have their parts 100% memorized. and we teachers had to keep these 3000 kids from going bezerk during the 2.5 hour concert and all of the bajillion rehearsals. (lucky me, i got to be in charge of the 3.5-6 year olds for my instrument!!) anyway, i've been looking forward to 10/21 for a really long time. now i'm ready for all my students to move on to something new. and for some reason, it feels like a mini-spring to me. like a fresh start. and i think it's transferring over to the weight-loss exercise facet of life too...

anyway, i've been doing ok at the eating thing. being out of the house from 6 am-midnight on saturday really seems to do the trick. i managed to make it through the weekend with 20 flex left. i exercised today and still have 3 points left. maybe it is just the enormous weight that has been lifted from my shoulders from the concert being over, but i'm feeling oddly positive about trying to lose weight...i dunno, but i hope it sticks around.

goals for tomorrow:
walk 20 min after pilates
write down everything i eat
water. must drink water.

Wahoo for the weight being off your shoulders!

Sounds like A LOT of work! Yikes! Time for a change! Glad you feel a little more relaxed now!

Well of course the weight will come off now. You stepped on that scale with your own weight, plus that weight on your shoulders for the past months!
Take this positive attitude and do everything you can with it!
