Ode to the Diet...

Monday at work we started the "Biggest Loser" with weight watchers. We weighed ourselves on Monday and whoever looses the most weight by May 28th gets the money in the pot. Everyone is putting in $2 each week. I am so excited! I am actually doing really good so far.

Monday-Wednesday went really well. I did have a little trouble getting to my allowed points but I guess that is ok!

Thursday I did really well and made it to my points allowed and did not go over!

Friday I was observing at the elementary school and decided to eat lunch with the kids. It was hot dogs and french fries and they were getting ice cream so of course I wanted ice cream! So I think I went over for that day. But when I came home and have dinner I had a small Smart Choice meal.

Saturday...oh geez. It was birthday lunch with the family. We went to Olive Garden. At first I was thinking of not caring and eating whatever I wanted...then I thought about how nice I will look this summer (HEHE) and ordered a salad with low fat dressing, ate ONE breadstick, and a small portion of soup. I did check the calories of some items before I got there. I cannot believe the amount of calories in one item! WOW!

Today we are going over to the Cip's for another birthday dinner so I am sure I will go over with my hubby's delicious crab cakes, but I will try and walk tonight or something!

Well I am trying to stay on this! I Can Do IT!!!!

***Please be praying for me at 5pm Monday afternoon. That is when I learn what my GACE score is. I am so nervous!***

Have a wonderful Sunday! I leave you with a precious picture of my babies!

Observation

After reading my friend Sarah's blog, I am trying to step up my blogging as well! HEHE!

Over the past few days I have been doing observation at an Elementary school in Canton. I am really loving it. The teacher I am observing is awesome! She is so calm and great with the kids. It makes me want to be a teacher more and more! There are some great kids in there as well. The teacher has let me help the students with their seat work, and I got to read a book today! Loved it!
This week is birthday week in my family. My GG's birthday is tomorrow, Mom and Aunts on Friday and my Great Grandmothers Saturday...RIP MAMA! We are headed to Olive Garden Saturday for lunch! Can't wait.


At work we started Weight Watchers among a few women there. We weighed in on Tuesday and will weigh in again on the last day of school. We have a little incentive pot going to help us all! I am excited! I have been doing good so far...Day four is upon us!


I am posting some cute pics of the pups. We recently got a new camera and these are from us experimenting with it!
