I've been doing this long enough that I remember starting in September....sigh.... However, with furlough days this year, the teaching time is diminished--we've only 176 days of student contact. The district decided to cut contract days first, so the technical first day for staff is the 16th. I've been back, and not alone, for two weeks just getting things in order (and teaching summer school).
Your schedule sounds like fun. I'm a little bummed that I've only got two (and a half, since I teach a seminar) preps this year. I get bored with myself in the third section of a class.0 -
Happy Monday everyone. I guess I'm the first to check in this week?
SW = 268.6
Week 1 Weight = 262.4 (- 6.2 lbs)
Week 2 Weight = 260.1 (-2.3 lbs)
Week 3 Weight = 257.5 (-2.6 lbs)
Week 4 Weight = 255.1 (-2.4 lbs)
Just waiting for the week I plateau - I'm getting to the point that I normally do just that. Mind over matter though, I guess.
My goal for the week is to bring a bagged lunch every day to work so I can make sure that am able to identify the calories I'm consuming.0 -
Good morning everyone!
Hopeful - that is great news! Congratulations, I'm so very very happy for you!!!!
fitterpam - You must start your days early! You're making wonderful progress though - congratulations!
MWilson - CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!! I guess you're headed to the preggo group now! I'm so pleased for you!!!!!!
Myself - yeah, not so great. Officially I'm down 0.2 lbs, but I'm pretty sure I gained last week, so I'm pleased with this. I'm not trying tobreak any records, I'm just trying to keep at it and not give up like I have so many times before. If I do that, the weight will come off over time, and I'm good with that.I'm not aiming for 5 lbs a month - another 1.5 before the wedding. I want to be below 210 for Nov 1, and below 200 for Jan 1. I'm pretty sure I can do that!
My mom and sister came in this weekend to help us out with some wedding stuff, and now all the major things are done! We spent yesterday relaxing and cuddling on the couch - it was so nice! 13 days to go! We're both getting really excited. I've decided to keep my veil down for the ceremony, since I think it's such a classic way to do it and is rarely done now. And we've picked all of our music (Father/Daghter dance is Edelwiess by Julie Andrews!!!) and things are going really well!
Also, I think I have an ulcer again - my tummy hasn't been well for more than a week now, and nothing feels good going in to it, and I feel completely drained of all energy. I've got an appt with the doc tomorrow evening, so hopefully she can put me back on meds - when I had one a couple of years ago it got so severe that I lost more than half my blood before we found it, and ended up in the hospital. Not this time. Bright side? Chocolate is a big no-no with one, lol.
My goal for this week is to keep my water intake up - I want to have 20 oz by noon on workdays. I'm going to keep at my crunches and pushups (same amount as last week, but twice a day now), and I'm going to be 219 when I weigh in on Monday!0 -

I think we are at 180 student days and 185 teacher days.
I will be getting bored too as I have 5 sections of biology; however, I think I am going to experiment and teach them different ways!0 -
Jalara - Congratulations on all of the wedding work completed! I am sorry to hear about the ulcer; hopefully you get it taken care of quicly so you are no uncomfortable.
Fitterpam - Way to go on the weight loss!
The scales were kind to me this morning but TOM was last week so I saw a bit bigger loss than usual.
SW: 277
LW: 268.8
CW:264
I did really well with my water intake last week so I plan to keep that up
I also plan on exercising 6 days during the week and trying to make healthier choices and not just stay in my calorie range.
Here is to being healthy and another great week!0 -
Good morning ladies!

Down two pounds this week!! :bigsmile: :bigsmile: I really pushed myself with working out this past week and it paid off. Only 17.5 more to go before we start TTC, as this rate I might hit my goal before Christmas. This week I need to keep meeting my water goal, I still need to work on strength training. My 30 day shred DVD is so scratched from use that level 2 skips like crazy. I guess that means I need to go up to level 3. :indifferent: I’m trying to work up the courage!
jarla – it must be such a relief to get the major weeding stuff done! It's so close!
hopeful – that’s great news!!
fitterpam – you’re doing so good! Plateau or not you should be so proud of yourself.0 -
Getting anxious here... My period is now 15 days late. I've taken 3 pregnancy tests - all negative. My period has always been VERY regular, even since I went off of the pill in April.
I called my doctor this morning and left a message with the nurse. It's now been 1.5 hours since I called, with no return phone call. I know they're busy there, but I seriously want to know wants going on with ME! I've been reading up on missing your period/negative tests, and I'm not really liking what I'm reading (possibily of eptopic pregnancy) so I really want to get in there and figure this all out. On the other hand, my co-worker who is due later this week told me that she didn't get a BFP until her fifth week (after getting multiple BFNs)...
Please, nurse, just call me back!0 -

I hope it's good news for you!! I am several days late as well and have taken 2 neg pg tests! But, this is my first month off the pill. Even though I was super regular before and was only one the pill about 1 & 1/5 years. I'm a little nervous. My husband keeps saying things like "you might be pregnant" and I know there is a 99% chance I am not, so it's a little nerve racking!!0 -
Well I've seen some progress

-.8 lbs!0 -
good luck to all the ladies with the missed periods! I hope you get a BFP in one test or another. The not-knowing makes everything so much more difficult.
I'm scared to weigh in this week because of AF.0 -
Apparently my doctor is working in her other office today... Why couldn't they just tell me that when I called first thing this morning? :grumble:
Anyway, the nurse I talked to said she'd put my file on top of the doctors pile to look over, and she should call me back tomorrow. She asked me which pharmacy I use in case they decide to call in an Rx for something to "jumpstart" my cycle. Um, shouldn't we do a blood test first to find out if I'm pregnant or not?? :huh:0 -
she must not know that that's the answer you actually want
who knows, maybe you'll be seeing some test tubed blood tomorrow. 0 -
lhuffman - fingers crossed for you. I would ask the nurse about that too before taking anything from the pharmacy.
jalara - way to go on the wedding progress - it is soooo close!
So, I did awesome from last Monday through Saturday. Weighed in on Friday and lost. Weighed in again just curious on Saturday and lost ANOTHER pound. Then, I went to a shower, did very poor and went over slightly today even though I did pretty good. I need a push right now. There's a lot going on in life in general and need to stay focused even when stressed with lots to do.0 -
Some progress...

The year I had five sections of freshman English I seriously considered, and looked for, other work. I wasn't so far removed from my whopper-flopper days, however, to think five sections of 9th grade was the height of tedium. It's just the only class in which I've had to exclaim, "get that banana out of her ear!" And mean it....
Good luck with the prep work. Because I've been teaching summer school, I'm now planned on a day-by-day basis through the end of September.
I'm really glad summer school is almost over. (We're doing an online program, so I'm writing coach and test-unlocker for 8 hours a day...which, while fun, is not the same...)0 -

My fingers are crossed for you that it is good news and nothing terrible....I'm sure you have a BFP in your future

Wow - I'm surprised they're willing to do that so quickly. I usually have to wait 90 days before the doctors give me something to jumpstart. Depending on what I tell them sometimes they test, sometimes they don't. If they don't suggest it, you should.0 -
I just wanted to mention that when I had an ectopic I DID get positive pregnancy tests. So that might not be the case. I hope it's not!! In my experience most docs will go by what the HPT at home says and if yours are negative - the one at the docs office probably will be too. They give basically the same exact HPT that you buy in the store. Have you tested with one that detects the smallest amount of HcG possible? I think they go as low as 25. I always get the Dollar Tree brand tests as they are cheap and they detect a very small amount - or I use the strips you can buy online - which is what my docs office uses.
They will probably give you Provera to get your cycle started. I get it all the time. I take it for anywhere from 7-14 days and within a week to 10 days after the last pill AF will arrive....
Good Luck to you!! I hope it's nothing serious like an ectopic. It could be exercise? A woman's body is so mind boggling and frustrating!0 -
oops posted that twice! 0

Congratulations to everyone seeing progress this week. Isn't it nice to see your hard work pay off?
I am going to try to focus on one day at a time, as the week by week thing isn't working for me at the moment. Today's goals are:
1. Log everything I eat today
2. Walk at least 10,000 steps
3. No soda
Also...it is Baby Dance week....so I am trying to put some effort into that too!!!!0 -
I didn't know they sold HPTs at Dollar Tree! I was baffled at how much they cost at CVS... Maybe I'll stop by Dollar Tree later.
Still waiting to hear from the doc... We'll see what she has to say. Thanks for all the support!! :flowerforyou:
Weighed in this morning and lost 3.6 pounds... Don't know how that happened, since I ate a lot over the weekend. Probably stress, I don't know...

Hello everyone!!
This week I'm right in the middle of TOM so I decided not to weigh myself. However, for this week I have three mini goals.
1. Log all foods even through out the weekend
2. Cardio at least 30 mins a day with post stretching
3. Three weight training sessions
Wishing you all a healthy week.0 -
ditto pmaria, I'm in TOM too, so I'll just wait until next week to weigh.
I'd like to lose 2 or 3 lbs before labor day weekend, so I'm going to have to buckle down and get to it.0 -
Going in for a blood test tomorrow morning. Praying it says what I want it to say... Otherwise, she said she'd call in an Rx for Provera for me.0
-
good luck lhuffman. I hope she's able to tell you something soon.0
-
Ill be thinking about you lhuffman. You will have to let us know as soon as you find anything out.0

I'm glad you're going in for a test, LHuffman24. That will put your mind at ease. I hope you get the results you want. :flowerforyou:0
