HOT-ober Sixers: Week 1

I'm in...

I had an exciting weekend. I got my teaching license in May but have been unable to find a teaching job... I had an interview for a paraprofessional job Friday evening, and was offered the job on the spot. I start in 2 weeks! I'll be working one-on-one with a 3rd grade little boy with Down's Syndrome. I am taking a major pay cut to do this, but my DH and I think this will really help me get my foot in the door for a teaching job next year. So excited! Plus, my sister was in town this weekend, so I had a really good time with her. We went to a state park on Saturday for hiking. I wore my Polar, so I know that I burned 550 calories.

I set my goal back to losing 1 pound per week. I've had a few weeks to (sort of) eat whatever, so now I'm back at it! Going back to the gym today for the first time in 3 weeks or so... Well, I guess I'll be sore tomorrow.

Can I join???

My name is Lo.

i need a new challenge to get started again.

anyone can join here is how it works....

We weigh in on tuesdays. it last for 6 weeks.
copy the last list posted and move/add your name to the top section of the list. (it will divided into two sections in the morning).
the sw is the beginning challenge weight
the gw is what you want to lose in 6 weeks (be realistic)
the cw is what you weight in on that tuesday for that week. (some do weigh in on different days)
every monday a new thread will start for the weigh in on tuesday.

if you have a questions, just ask, someone will respond.

i need to get back to cleaning my house and hanging curtains today. roof is leaking when the wind blows. we thought we found the leak, guess not. DH is climbing in the attic again when he gets home. He's determined to find it. i want to tarp it for now.

later

I'll be working one-on-one with a 3rd grade little boy with Down's Syndrome.

Congrats on the job! I think you will find it very rewarding - but definitely a challenge. My oldest brother has Down Syndrome, and although he's becoming a real challenge for my family the last few years, I have a lot of good memories from my younger days with him. I always went with my mom to Special Olympics events, and just sat and watched, and talked with the athletes. It didn't occur to me to volunteer until a few years ago! I went to a swim event with my hubby (we had just started dating) and I wanted him to spend a day with the kids so he could really experience what it was like at an event, and we were both just blown away. I think it was good for my hubby and helped him understand more when he spent time with my brother. I haven't volunteered again for years, and I really need to do it again. I admire everyone who works with special needs children (and adults!) on a daily basis. Good luck with everything!

Good luck everyone! I'll post more when I get to work.

My goals for the week are to keep within my calories. that is all i am focusing on for now.

i have showing today for a rental. my broker or the office never answered their phones. so the lady went to the web site and called me and i was the only one who answered. so i get the 10% but, than it's split again 50% with broker. that who thing sucks. hey, it's money i didn't have.

roof is leaking, have a roofer coming hope today to check it out and see if he can find it. DH won't get up there to put on a tarp. i just might have to.

well, off to get things done before i need to leave.

I get emails from Special Olympics (I applied for a job there several years ago) all the time! I will definitely have to look into their volunteer program around here. I had a few special needs kids in my student teaching experience, but I didn't get much time with them. I did a Transition to Teaching program that allowed me to keep my full-time job and teach for an hour a day for three semesters. It seemed that the special needs kids were always down in the resource room when I was at the school. This new job is definitely going to be an eye-opening experience. I can't wait!

Looking forward to this challenge, even though my mom will be in town, I think I am going to try and plan out the meals so that way I know what we will be eating.

But I got a nice suprise and she asked me to book a massage for the two of us while she is here so I am looking forward to that, it should be great!

But that will be next week, in the mean time have lots of cleaning and organizing to get done befor friday. But off to work today.

Hope you all have a great first day!

Looking forward to another sixers with the Hot-obers!! I just hope this time I can get a little close to my GW. I think last challenge was just an eye-opener. I have faith this go round that I can do this! No more snacking (that will be my October goal). I don't really eat a lot of candy, but to say if that chance comes up, I can eat just one. But the unhealthy snacks I will walk by, no more chips, no more cakes, no more brownies for one month!

And as for my exercise, I will finish the 30day shred!!!!!
