SoWell on Sowal

[Teresa]

I've joined the SoWell group...last week wasn't overly kind, although I did ejoy a walk every afternoon on the beach. Tomorrow will be detox day...I may hurt someone
Tootsie, I like the idea of measuring and weighing. Sometimes inches show better than pounds.
My goal is 20 pounds by November 1 requiring daily exercise which is my downfall. I'll keep you posted with successes and failures.

hey iwish: your goal is ambitious - what is your diet/exercise plan? do you know yet? I'm still working on mine.

MONDAY MORNING WEIGH-IN: -5 lbs

taking measurements today (will report any changes starting next Mon).

Diet..mostly low carb. I do not do well with tons of choices as I do not have a portion control valve. I do eat whole grains....exercise that is the issue. I will try to walk 4 days a week and do a cardo video the rest. I may even join a gym Hate to waste money if I am not going to do it.

The school where I teach is implementing a fitness program for the students...EVERYONE will walk ten minutes each day and we will chart the progress. I am curious to see how it goes as we have a lot of children who spend their free time with video games or in front of the tv.

this is not too bad at all. no regrets! so, you had a funn week. I'm sure you are back on it today.

I am so pasta-addicted. as long as I stay away from it (and not cook it) I'm fine. If I cook it which I did this weekend, I eat it every day which I did... and I'm not talking about the little 1/2 cup serving of whole wheat pasta either. definitely not a good choice. I must change my behavior now and stay away from the pasta (and wine). I resolve to do so, and I've said so in writing in this post!!! :!:

You know I realized it wasn't the pasta I missed as much as I missed the sauce! So, I started putting meat sauce on my chicken, lots of it.
YUMMY.

When I taught Kindergarten (yes believe it or not) all the teachers that wanted to gave $$ and then the one who lost the largest amount won the cash. Teaching is hard esp, if you have a younger grade b.c of all the snacks....I think that is a great idea for students as so many kids these days do not exercise....

Good to meet you IBD... As for the job, snacking can become a real problem. My students laugh that I eat cheese everyday and have a can of nuts on the desk....and some dark chocoate. Only 2 pieces of it..unless it is really bad.

How long did you teach? Was it in FL? I good friend on mine just moved to Destin and is teaching. She got a huge pay raise, but the housing cost offset it.

Dark chocolate.....yumm!!!!!!

I taught Kindergarten for 7 years and 6&7th grade (which was the worse 3 months of my life)

I taught in Natalbany, Louisiana. Small town? outside of Hammond, Louisiana. Loved it but pay was bad....

What a great start to what was supposed to be a healthy week:

about 50 crackers with 3 different kinds of sliced cheese
pasta w/marinara and Italian sausage (2 platefuls)
a tiny bit of salad (for looks)
3 fat pieces of french bread
1 piece tiramisu
1 piece chocolate cake
1 glass red wine

plus picked at what Kate didn't finished

I am a P.I.G. Pig!!! I'm hoping that maybe I have a tapeworm because I am starving all of the time lately!:shock:
