Milestone

As of this morning I am down 20 pounds.  It has taken me about 11 weeks to lose that much but I guess that is the "healthy" way - or so they say (whoever *they* are).

The really depressing thing is not one person, aside from my Mom and Phone Guy, has even remarked that I have lost anything.  And they only say it because they know I am working really hard and they are stroking my ego.  I mean, I know I am fat but damn....you would think 20 pounds would be noticeable.  I hadn't been at my kids school much in months and I went in there and spent lots of time over the last couple of weeks and nobody....NOBODY....noticed. 

I had The Pleaser take my photo today for my weight loss scrapbook and I compared it with a photo taken at my best friend's baby shower in October and I can't see a difference either.  IT SUCKS!
Don't get me wrong, I am thrilled with my results but it would be nice to get a little recognition.

No the 4th Graders Didn't Kill Me

I just realized I never updated after my long (and temporarily insane) trip with the 4th graders.  We all survived and I made it back in one piece. 

It's yearbook time and since I volunteer to put together the school's yearbook (remember - temporary insanity), I have been working non-stop for the last 2 1/2 weeks on that.  Now, if I wasn't such a big procrastinator I would have already had a bunch of it done.  But I work best under pressure - riiiiight.
Two more weeks until school is out.  The last 3 weeks are so hectic that I will be glad when it is over.....for about 3 days.  Then my kids will be driving me crazy and I will be looking forward to the middle of August.

Weight Loss Update:  Due to my hectic schedule, my exercise dropped off a little and I've been eating like shit, BUT I have still managed to lose weight!  I am sitting at 18 POUNDS LOST now!  WooHoo!!
