Wow, it has been a while since I last posted an entry! It's amazing how time flies around here. I have been getting up and going to work for months now. I am a teacher, and just really enjoy my job. There are times that I have a hard time with my classroom management, but I always decide that it is a good place to spend my day. The kids are such good people!
My baby is nearly a year old now! I can hardly believe it. We don't think we'll have an extravagant party. It just seems like a lot to plan.
I have not been using WW like I was this summer. It just seemed like it was hard to lose more than 10 pounds for me, which is a a problem that I had in 2005 when I joined the program. I really think it is a great plan, but I don't know why I can't follow it fully.
I have been trying other programs, and I have a personal trainer. It was one of the very best decisions to go to my trainer. However, I have not changed my eating patterns drastically, so my weight has not shed miraculously like some expect it might once you hire a trainer. I am more toned and energetic, though. I look forward to my weekly workouts with her. (Yes, it's pricey!)
Right now, my favorite "diet expert" is Ellie Krieger from the food network. I like her for a few reasons. 1. She has a show on Saturdays and demonstrates how to make healthier foods. 2. She is an educated dietitian with a degree. 3. She is always talking about heart healthy oils. 4. She does not forbid any foods, but describes moderate use. 5. Her dishes are delicious without tons of salt.
I think that journaling helps me to process my thoughts. I hope to continue, and not have months where I do not write!
