Gasping for air!
Man, I'm sorry I haven't been logging - I have been SO wrapped up at work (I can't get online for personal stuff during the work day at all), and often end up staying after school for meetings or talking with students. By the time we get home and do dinner, bathtime, playtime and bedtime, I am so exhausted, I can't remember what I ate during the day and I can't even muster the energy to do a 15-minute workout video.
HOWEVER...I think the hardest part is over. The last few days have been good days at school, and I'm starting to get on top of the workload. My short-term goal is to start working out again this weekend.
I weighed myself Saturday and I was down 2 pounds to 162.5. Pretty good. I ate too much on Sunday, but since it was my little girl's 5th birthday party, I forgive myself. : ) I did a smart thing and only ordered a 1/4 sheet cake, so there was just enough for everyone to have a small piece with NO leftovers. And of course it was vanilla! Wait - tomorrow's the 30th, right? That marks TWO FULL MONTHS that I haven't eaten chocolate. Wow...
I have my prep period mid-morning, and I tend to sit and munch, but I have my desk stocked with pretzels, raw almonds, and low-fat graham crackers, so even if I snack a little too much, I'm not eating anything "bad." What bothers me the most is not working out, but I'm going to take some baby steps to get that started again. And I PROMISE, I will start logging again within the next couple of days.
