labor day blues

well, not really a sad day. I've gotten a lot of clerical/lesson planning work done. and I've got some time in the day before I really have to start winding down. And if Staples or whatever Office Depot is close enough now is open, let alone still open, I just might go in to make copies of forms, syllabi, etc. Problem with that is I don't want to pay for a bunch of copies I won't need because the enrollment is still rolling over and whatnot and if I make 200 copies but only have 150 students and we never have a turnover of those other 50 students...yeah, it can get a bit costly since I have a bit I want copy. Actually a couple of those things I still need to type up.

I've also been on a bit of a fast today. I JUST ate a bag of lite microwave popcorn about a couple hours ago and I've had a bit of water. The last meal I had before that was rib tips, fries, and bread around 4pm yesterday so I figured I needed to just lay low on food. I knew I wouldn't be going all out today and moving around so I wouldn't be super dizzy and tired and hungry. I've been sitting here typing and researching so I've saved some calories. I even resisted the urge to have another bag of popcorn. But well, the rib bones in the fridge, baked sweet potatoes and cabbage that I have yet to have and they were made by mom like ...Friday I think...are calling me! the boy is napping and I'm sure he'll be awake soon, within the 1/2 hour to hour and he'll want to grub...maybe....he didn't want any ribs or fries yesterday...think the sauce was a bit spicy for him and he fussed at the tingle! po baby!

okey dokey, not a long post but need to get back to posting. I'll understand if you all aren't commenting here because I haven't been stopping in on your blogs either. I hope to get back into a routine soon! I found out that I can purchase/find a cord that will allow me to use my own laptop at work through their wifi connection so I can leave that horribly slow ancient windows 95 or 98 computer they have there alone! and i don't even give those Macs a 2nd look unless it's a side-eye!! the combo of being a Mac AND being an older model...barf!!

I have lost focus.


I have had too much food that I didn't prepare.

I don't think it ALL was junk food...but junk food has snuck back into my body.

I've just had too much food at one meal.

I will give myself credit that with getting back into the classroom this week to set things up (even though Ihave no artwork copies on the walls because I'm ordering big posters for that job until the students have work completed) and even though I may have indulged in the provide breakfast and lunch on Wednesday, I didn't eat again at home until around 8 and that was crackers.

I must get back on the saddle.

November will be here before I know it. And I WILL fit one of those dresses hanging up there.

I AM in a size 32 again after a while. My doctor pointed out that since August of last year I've lost over 40 pounds. Apparently I DID get over 400..it was 405 at one point. I guess the shock of seeing that number on the digital display was blocked from my memory.

Well, the students come back into the classroom on Tuesday. I'll start the aerobics class on the 21st. Need to start planning lunches to take for lunch. Wraps should work fine.

This boy needs to get a nap in and I should keep working on job stuff so....later all.
