how do I feel about my day? Well I've been stuck but I haven't been doing much about it. Got lazy after the babies birthday but seeing some yo yo-ing got me back on track. I promise to be better about posting! I want to get to my goals, I can't do that by just concentrating on food. My body LIKES to drop weight with the activity. Today was such a busy day and I'm mentally exhausted. I'm sure I've mentioned I'm a substance abuse therapist at a detox for kids. Sometimes the work can just drain you brain! Today was one of those days. I feel like I can't catch up! I will though, but it'll be tough with a 1/2 day tm. Hoping I can get everything done that I need to.0 -

how do I feel about my day? Well today is my bestie's 30th birthday and she is up from CT for a party!! All the babies got to be together and it was so much fun!!! Aside from my friend's daughter trying to choke out mine a couple times and being rough (they are both 1 and really don't know better) it was busy with 4 babies! Had some awesome Kibe for dinner that my bestie's dad made. soooooo good!! Also this morning was marked by me getting my early Christmas present. I finally got a pistol! I've had my LTC for quite a while but not my own gun. Got a Rugar LC9 and I love it. It's compact, easy to field strips, easy to conceal, just what I was looking for!!0 -

how do I feel about my day? uh....I was not a huge fan of this Monday at all. I didn't get to do everything I wanted to at work, which stresses me out, and I had some technical difficulties (phone and network wasn't work) until 11. On the other hand I had great food today, left overs from the pot roast I made yesterday and I had already put a corned beef meal in the crock this morning. God I love this time of year and using the crock with the cool weather, changing leaves, gorgeous temps, and cute babies (like mine) in pigtails and sweatshirts!! Overall I love life. I want to get a fire restarted under my butt to keep losing weight, I've been stagnant for 2 weeks, it's time to push through it.0 -

However there was also a large piece of banana bread with butterscotch chips, so yummy, but def upped my lunch more than usual. I'm still feeling hungry tonight, but maybe it's because I'm thirsty perhaps I will go get a drink.

How do I feel about my day? Well today is Veterans Day, so at work I decided that I would educated the kids about what the holiday means since most of them had no idea (thank public school system). They actually were really happy to learn about it, why it's important, and learned talked about family who or vets or how they could honor current Vets. Our unit is pretty heavy on having boys right now too so they enjoyed talking about the armed forces (what teen boy doesn't?) I'm glad that I could be the person that taught them about our country, our relationship with other companies, and to learn an American value that has somehow lost it's meaning....0 -
