Busy , Busy . . .

Wow! I have been pretty busy these past few days. I have been doing pretty well sticking to my diet. I have not done well with exercise. I have tried to at least play with my kids, do housework and maybe dance a bit so I have some sort of exercise. Pretty much every morning I have the same breakfast...the toast with Laughing Cow Strawberry Cream Cheese and strawberries. I like it and its easy, so I don't mind having it everyday. I've been struggling with dinner portions. I am getting better at it, I guess it just takes practice and not giving up. I have also done great with my water consumption. I have been drinking at least five bottles of water everyday. I used to drink ZERO water everyday...so this is AMAZING for me!

Sooooooooooooo Sadly True!!!

Like I said, I've been pretty busy. I have a deadline for my current class of the end of this week. So I have been working on my assignments to try to get them all turned in and passed by the deadline. So far I have done all of them, but passed only three of them. I just turned in a revised assignment a couple minutes ago, so hopefully I pass that one, or at least need minimal revisions. I do have one assignment that is annoying me. I have revised it twice, and still didn't pass and I don't understand why. I have contacted my course mentor, so hopefully they can steer me in the right direction.

I met with my daughter's VPK (voluntary pre-kindergarten for you non-Floridians) teacher today to discuss her progress for this year. She is so smart, so I wasn't surprised to hear that she has done wonderfully this year and has improved vastly from the beginning of the year. As far as vocabulary goes, her teacher actually said that she is totally ready to begin learning to read. So I think we will be working on that this summer. She also does well in math, but doesn't seem to enjoy it. I hate that. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE math. I still print out algebra sheets from the computer just to do the problems for FUN. That's how much I love math. I hope that I can rub off on her in the coming years and she will grow to love math too. She may just think its boring now, but maybe she'll be like me and once she starts doing challenging math problems, she'll love it. Here's hoping!

I hope that the rest of this week goes well. I also have my weigh in and appointment at the weight loss clinic tomorrow morning. I hope my weight loss registers on their scale! Don't you hate it when your scale says you lost five pounds, but then when you get on a different scale it says you only lost two pounds! It just kills me! I feel like either my scale is way off, or I somehow gained three pounds since I left my house! WTH? So frustrating!

I am also trying to plan the surprise camping trip for this weekend. I don't know if I'll be able to pull it off though. I still have supplies to get, then there's the food planning (if I wing it, I know I'll gain weight!), and getting the site, all while keeping it a surprise from my fiance'! If I pull this off, I will be soooooooooo impressed with myself. Here's hoping for that too! But I know that if I can't swing it for this weekend, there's always next weekend, right?

Well, I'm going to try to go to bed. I think my five hour energy shot is finally wearing off. My eyelids are starting to get heavy....lol. Good night and good luck!
