WEDNESDAY:
- Interview🟢
- Log food🔴
- No chips or snacks🔴
- 10k steps🔴
- Soccer for S🔴 - cancelled for rain
I got the job! I’ll be in a 4th grade classroom every other week, M-Th. I think it will be a good fit. The job description they have online did not match the actual position. Once the principal explained the role, I realized it could work well. I’ll be in school the same days my kids will be in school and then I’ll be home with them the weeks they’re home. The plan is to hopefully start mid-Nov, but that is dependent on all the schools getting the staffing they need and that our COVID numbers stay low enough. (Our town is currently tending upwards 😕)
Thanks for the support and well wishes for the interview! 💕
***NO CHIPS OR SNACKING IN OCTOBER**
Earn a leaf 🍁 for each day I complete without one bite of chips (crisps) or mindless snacking! 🤐

My boyfriend helped finish my tracking board, and I filled out the first quarter of it today.
Each quarter = 20 pounds lost (and a new tattoo from my boyfriend!)
But I also wanted to remind myself that it's not just about the number on the scale. It's about being healthy, active, and confident in myself.
I've also started trying to be more aware of my macros, and not just my calories. Trying to lower my carbs, fat, sodium and sugar to healthy levels, and increase my protein.
Wish me luck!4 -
