Wednesday Errands and Disapointment with my Running Shorts

I began Wednesday morning with my usual wog. I've had problems with my shorts creeping up in between my legs, so I have been looking all over for some bermuda length tight shorts to wear under my shorter shorts. I haven't had any luck except for a $30 pair I found at Dick's Sporting Goods. I did find a shorter pair at Target and went with them, because they were only $16. I was disappointed once I actually wore them. They ended up riding up too after seeming okay when I tried them on. Now I'm stuck with them. :(...

Anyway, here are Wednesday's C25K stats:

• 4,158 aerobic steps
• 32 minutes
• 1.73 miles

Wednesday was filled with doing little errands that took up most of my day. After my wog I went to the endodontist to get my six month x-ray of the tooth I had the (re) root canal on. The x-ray looked good, so I don't have to come back for a year for another x-ray.

Then I quickly stopped my Menard's to pick up some pulls or knobs to use on my husband's desk. The handles that came with the desk actually broke off. So here are my options:

At 2:00 Lilly had an appointment for a rabies shot, heart worm test, and intestinal parasite test. She is  a bit of a coward with new people and places. She spent most of the time shaking and cowering, but did okay. It was cute how they put a purple bandage where they drew blood, but I forgot to take a picture of it before I took it off.

The evening was spent watching Income Property, then watering my plants, watching Property Brothers, and I was ready for bed. The hubs got a new Mystery Science Theater 3000 called Pumaman that he started watching. I tried to stay up and watch it with him, but couldn't make it to the end. I'll have to finish the other half on Thursday night.

I did a pretty good job overall with the eating again today and was down again with my weigh-in. I'm now 193.4 which is 2.2 pounds so far this week! Yay! Let's hope that I'm able to lose a bit more before the week is over.

The Work Week of May 14 - May 18

I have either been busy or exhausted just about every day this week, so that is why the posts have been lacking again. If you are a teacher or work in a school, then you know how crazy busy the end of the year can be. If you don't, now you know. ;)

Monday I stayed after work to get a bit done, maybe ran to the store, went out to eat with my father-in-law and hubby, went for a walk, and watched House. I've been thinking about how is it going to end all week and can't wait to see the last episode.

Tuesday I ran more errands after work and mowed the yard. No walk needed that night, because I get plenty of aerobic steps in push mowing the yard.

These pants are the ones I wore when I first started teaching, so I guess at least I've lost all the weight I've gained the past four to five years.

I look like a dork when I mow the yard. My allergies bother me so I cover up my eyes and wear a mask to minimize the allergens.

Wednesday was another busy day at work. We had a celebration assembly at work, because my school is the first school in the state of Indiana to be a PBIS model site. This means that our PBIS (an easy definition is that it is a system of rules and rewards for students) system meets all the criteria, is implemented throughout the school, the teachers are knowledgeable about the system and use it in their rooms, and students know what is expected of them. After work I took a walk and watched American Idol.

I love this watch!

Thursday I had a meeting with the other elementary music teachers in the corporation and the head library/media services person to learn some more about technology and how we would be using it with our adoption of electronic textbooks. I found out that my ELMO (a document camera) does some pretty cool things that I can't wait to try next year. That night I took another walk and watched American Idol. My favorites for these competition shows always seem to be the underdog and never make it to the finale. This year one of my three favorites made it to the finale. Go Phillip!

Friday I got quite a bit done at work, but nothing exciting to write about. Friday night wasn't all that exciting either.

I went grocery shopping after work. I also found a few fun things as well. My head was pounding so I didn't go on a walk. I relaxed and went to bed early.

A shirt I got on sale and with a coupon at Fashion Bug.

Some earrings that were less than $2 a pair!

I got the capris from Old Navy with a coupon of course!

As for the weight loss thing... My meals have been pretty good most of the week. My problem again is snacks. I've been eating the wrong kinds of snacks and too much for snacks. That will need to be my focus next week, so I can hopefully get close to 185 by the time my vacation rolls around.
