Back to my "real" life...

Yesterday was my first day back at my "real" job, and I was not looking forward to it. I felt like I hardly got any time off. BUT all my hard work this summer paid off! People were talking left and right about how great I look, and it felt SO good to be talked about positively. Today, a few students were in the building, and they didn't initially say hello to me until I said hello to them because they didn't recognize me. For fun, these are some pictures of right after school let out in June and right before work started this past week:

Camp is over


Wow, 9 weeks sure went quickly! While i had my challenges during camp, I did lose over 15 lbs in the 9 weeks, which is decent progress! I'm ready for my break now...10 days off... My plans include getting my hair done, and cooking a LOT! OH and sleeping... sleep has been hard to come by...

This is a photo of me and my friend Rita on the last day of camp. I love that I can see my eyes now, and they're not completely squinty when i smile...

Week 19...


well, a friend of mine just told me that I haven't updated this in a really long time... and I guess i haven't! It's been a crazy month really, with camp and moving. Camp has been fun for sure, and TONS of work. My kids keep me running around all day, and my whole weight loss thing has been going well because of that. I slipped up a bit last week after the move. There were no clean dishes, and it was just easier to order out. I made good choices (nothing fried, no cheese, etc.) but still saw a gain (.4) at the scale this week. it's back on the wagon this week though! We're doing dishes and going grocery shopping today. The Under 200 mark is my next goal...hopefully by Labor day!
