This is what 1Tbsp of butter looks like. I put plastic wrap on my scale and measured it out.

Entering A New School Year's Chaos

-
School has started for us again. We are in 1st Grade! Whoo-hooo! I'm happy and sad. Happy we are moving on, growing, ... sad my baby is growing and moving on. *sigh* But I will focus on I'm happy he is growing up happy, healthy, strong, and learning. This year I am volunteering for a number of things. I think I can handle it all since almost everything is done on the same two days each week. Makes it manageable to have a schedule where two days a week I live at my son's school. But I can't neglect my efforts to loose weight. It's been a roller coaster of a first week so I am trying to get a quick handle on it before the scales starts moving in an unwanted direction. I'm checking out the difference between Sparkpeople Coach and Sparkpeople Live. If you know the difference, or used either one, I'd love to hear from you. Tomorrow I am looking forward to getting in an hour in the swimming pool. I am not a good swimmer at all, but I figure the effort of working o...

Pushing Thru A Chaotic Day

Today was a CRAZY day. The intentions were good but things kept happening to discourage my focus. In the end, I am moving through my journey a little slower, but still moving in the right direction. The morning skies looked cool and offered the promise of a sprinkle or two Little did I know they would yield a large  amount of rain suddenly and in a relatively  short  period  of time. The rest of the day was on and off  sprinkles and rain. Then the fun began. I took my cat to a heart specialist to find out if his heart is strong enough to be put under to remove a mass/growth from his gumline.

There is a moment when I have some downtime waiting in the vet's lobby, so I check my voicemail. It was my bank?

Trying To Catch Up On Sleep

It has been two weeks since my last blog entry. Since then, I have played nurse to my sick boy, then I myself got sick, then scared away dinosaurs in the middle of the night from my son's room, cooled off my daughter's fever, and ... all throughout this journey I lost a lot of sleep. The past 3 days I have been pushing to sleep an extra 30-45minutes a night. My headaches from lack of sleep are finally subsiding. Yay! The picture above was from our "Mommy & Me" class this week. My girl seems to enjoy the class, signing "The Wheels On The bus" while sitting on my lap. Her smile always make me feel better. After all those days of chaos, she certainly brightened my day. Well, I hope now I can get back to focusing on eating healthier, losing weight, doing my yoga DVDs, walking, blogging and everything else too.
