Back to School Prep

Tomorrow I officially start working for the 2014-2015 school year. Although I did not lose all the weight I wanted to this summer (lost between 10-11 and wanted to lose 20), I have worked through some things and got some good habits going again. I don't want to ruin it with the back to work stress, so I already meal planned and prepared all my food. 

I also started to pull out some of my dress clothes from storage too. I was hoping to be down a size by now, but at least my clothes fit better. I need to remember I could barely zip my pants up in June and now I don't feel like I am going to bust the seams out of them. Truthfully, I should have been wearing a bigger size at the end of last year but refused to buy any since it was almost summer break. 

Since I didn't get to blogging what I've been eating, here are some pics of some yummy and healthy meals:

Pizza on a 100% whole wheat crust with turkey pepperoni

Turkey Burger

Here is the food I prepared for my first week back to work:

Still eating the 100% whole wheat, high fiber, low sugar pancakes, turkey bacon, and fruit for breakfast.

Snack

Another snack

Campfire chicken packets (took out of the foil for storage)

I know this doesn't look appetizing, but it makes lunches easier for the week. These are almond butter and strawberry jam sandwiches.

Here is to keeping up the good habits while getting in the groove of being back at work.

A Pretty Productive Sunday

I forgot to post this yesterday, but here is a picture of my poundpuncher bracelet at 10 lbs. lost! I usually take it off and wait until I lost 2 lbs. to put the button back in, but I decided I'll leave it at 10 lbs. for now. Celebrate the victory for a while, at least.

Today I've been busy trying to get a bunch of things done. I've done my lesson plans for the week,

a little shopping,

tried on a bunch of clothes, organized clothes in my closet and motivation closet,

My bedroom closet with my clothes that fit right now.

My motivation closet. The clothes that are too small are on the top shelf and hangers. The clothes that fit but are out of season are on the shelf under the hanging clothes.

cooked my lunches for the week, got most of my Valentine's ready to mail out,

and hope to get a little cleaning done tonight.
