That's right... 2 pounds in one week... According to what I thought I weighed and what I really weighed today. But I think it's probably more of 5 or 6 lbs.
BUT I just thought of today that I need to make some goals to keep giving me motivation..
So if I lose 15lbs I get something, 30lbs something else, 50 lbs... another.
I think for 50 lbs I've decided that we'll get a dog! I've been wanting one badly and know that I need to wait until my Master's program is over so I have time to commit to it. I'm thinking 50 lbs down would be about that time.
But I need goals for other milestones... Any suggestions?

Wednesday Check-In
Yesterday was a busy day. I've taken over as secretary for my riding club and last night was my first official meeting. Needless to say, I'm overwhelmed but it's good to get more involved in something.
Calorie counting is actually going pretty well. I'm having a lot of fun figuring out different combinations of foods to eat and figuring out what to eat and when to keep myself from getting hungry.
And... I joined sparkpeople. It's going to be good to have some motivation and to have some people answer to when I start falling off the bandwagon.
Unfortunatley exercising has been non-existent this week. Thanks kindergarteners for giving me a sore throat and leaving my body to fight off a cold which has made me exhausted. And the husband has been sleep talking like crazy this week... He's sleeping well but I'm sure not! I'll get onto the exercising for sure on Monday after my weekend of class is over and I can get my 21 days in a row done so that I can get my routine built.
I also hi-lighted my hair today and I think I'm going to like it. It's fun to have something new! I'll get pictures up once my camera battery is done charging. But since I haven't really had a whole lot to post about that's been extremely important and I hate blogs without pictures, I'll leave you with a few of the loves of my life... My horses and dog.
Anyone else make resolutions? Keeping up with them?

Happy (?) Monday
Is there really such a thing as a happy Monday when it involves going back to work? It makes it even worse that it was the first day back after 2 weeks off. On the positive, my students were quiet and well-behaved today. I doubt that will last long.
Today was the first day of my new "lifestyle." I'm not calling it a diet because I'm not really dieting but just changing my lifestyle and eating habits. And so far... I'm hungry. I knew it was going to be hard but geez I'm starving. Part of the probelm is that I need to go grocery shopping and the other is that I'm afraid I'm going to go over my calorie allowance. After going grocery shopping tonight I'm hoping it will get a bit easier.
No pictures today... I'll get back on the picture train tomorrow. But until then, what do you do to help keep your mind off food and eating when you know you're not really hungry?
