Rainbow Girl

So, our book fair is going on at school and the PTO decided to do this hippie theme.  They decided it would be fun to dress the teachers up like hippies and take pictures of them.  I have a feeling they might end up in the yearbook too!  UGH! I hope this picture gives you a giggle.  🙂  (More at the bottom of the picture)

Hippie Paine 3

You’ve probably been wondering about my weight loss.  I seem to have hit a plateau.  I haven’t lost anything since last week, in fact I gained it back.  ERGH!!!  I’m still 20 lbs lighter than I was but I’ve started a new challenge to lose 20 more lbs.  I actually want to lose 25 so I can be considered “healthy” by leading health professions.  Two weeks of losing very little has been a bit discouraging.  Plus, I’m sick of fish, chicken turkey and egg whites.  But I gotta keep going.  Of course, that means no sugar for another 4 weeks.  I know YOU know how that is.  Also no red meat, no alcohol, no potatoes – UGH!  I’m so missing eating French Fries!  I do make sweet potato fries, but it just isn’t the same.  French Fries are not supposed to be sweet.

But, I’m not giving up.  I only need to do this for four more weeks.  I can finish this.  And I know you’ll be so proud of me when I do it.  That does keep me going.

Another day of parent-teacher conferences is done.  I had six conferences today.  Only one no-show.  These days are so tiring.  I just wanna go home after the gym and relax.  Doesn’t that sound groovy?
