Whoop whoop!!
Yesterday I went shopping with Adam. Poor little Joshua... every time he fell asleep in the car, we had to take him out. Our last stop: Old Navy. We get out of the car and put him in the stroller and BAM, he passes out. I feel so horrible about constantly waking him up. Once we are done shopping, I tell Adam to drive home and I'll walk home with Joshua so that he can sleep more. Worked out great. Took exactly 20 minutes to walk home. Not bad! Then we walked for a little while longer (including a lunch stop where I got a delicious grilled chicken sandwich with Lettuce, tomato, and mayo.. and only ate half).
We came home, fed and changed Joshua, and then headed to Alley Pond Park where we walked for nearly an hour, and not just a regular walk, there were some good steep hills there.
All that walking made me feel great. Especially since I got to be outside and enjoy the beautiful weather.
We went out to Friendly's with Adam's parents. I planned my meal out way in advance. I knew the points of everything I was going to order, and all the substitutions that I was going to make. I had a lot of points left because I hadn't snacked all day.
This morning I weighed myself... 193.2!!! Since YESTERDAY I have lost 1.6 pounds! Insane, insane!!!
I figured with only .2 pounds to go to reach my mini-goal for the week, I should change my mini-goal. My goal is now 191 pounds by next Saturday. Omg... what's that smell? What? That's right? Success! I am ALMOST out of the 190's!!!! I haven't been out of the 190's in YEARS!!!!!!!!!!! I honestly don't even remember how long it has been.
In two weeks I can see myself being OUT of the 190's. In a few weeks... I can be at a total of 30 lbs!! INSANE!!!!!
Alright. I'm excited! BUT I need to get going. Gotta feed the baby and get ready for church.

I can't seem to rotate the image so rotate your head LOL This is me as of April 2nd :) (with my good friend Christina)I'm back!
It's been too long.
Here is the deal: I haven't been doing too well. Adam lost his job April 1st (something we saw coming for a while) and I have been having a hard time at work myself. I was denied tenure (given an extension, actually), which means that if I don't get tenure by next year, I can no longer teach in NY state.. or possibly anywhere because why would anyone want to hire a teacher that has been fired?
So, basically this put me into a bit of depression: going to bed at 8-9 pm, a lot of crying, With so much to focus on: work, looking for a new school, college courses, adam's lack of employment, my career being ruined, the baby... dieting felt like just one more thing to focus on that I just couldn't do. Instead of no longer stressing work, I no longer stressed my health. Good job, Cindy! In the last two months (roughly) I have gone back and forth between 196 and 199 pounds. When I stopped dieting and working out I had been down 23 lbs. I gained 5 lbs back within two weeks and have been fluctuating between those weights.
I realized that I wasn't making myself any happier or bettering my situation by giving up. I had been doing SO well, and I just gave up. It felt like one more thing to focus, and I didn't have the energy.
Anyway, I'm back :) I started up again on Tuesday. I started Tuesday at 198.8 and have lost 4 pounds since then. I'm down to 194.8
Mini goal: By next Saturday, I would like to be 193 lbs.
I will have to keep up with everything I was doing before: the blogging, the logging of my daily weight, journaling all my food intake, working out 5 times a week... whatever I need to do. I'd LOVE to lose another 20 lbs by the end of the school year.
Well, with that it's time to go.
