De-Clutter the classroom

Well, March Break is officially over and it's time to get the Spring Cleaning done. I went into my class and spent FOUR HOURS de-cluttering the many piles of papers and baskets of random things I have accumulated over the past few months. I filled a garbage bag and the recycle bin. I'm excited to go back tomorrow and see how it goes!

Good Things

I've had a rough week. My computer died. My car left me stranded on the side of the road. I had a couple of other disappointments. Needless to say, my March Break has been tough.
I had a really down day today so I thought I would try to make a list of good things about today.

Made Lasagna and it turned out great.
My dogs were great today.
Beautiful weather today (+12)
Tried a new low cal dessert and love it!
Scott tried his best today to cheer me up, which is sweet.
We are going to dinner and a movie tomorrow! Excited to see "Paul"!

So there are some good things about today. Hoping to get up in a better mood tomorrow.

Biggest Loser, Take Two!

Well, I have entered the next round of the local "Biggest Loser" Competition. I did well last year, coming in 3rd and losing 25lbs. I have put a bit back on and need more accountability, so I'm back. This time, I managed to drag the hubby along. Scott decided that if he was going to do this, he was going to win and he bought a treadmill today. We'll see how long that lasts, but I'm excited because it means I can run even on crappy weather days, like this one.
So starting weight for us both:

Jenn- 181.0            Scott- 231.2

Goals:
Jenn- below 160 lbs    Scott- Below 200 lbs
   I also want to run a 10k (hoping for May 11st)
The competition is on until June 28th. The tough part for Scott will be when he heads back to work. Hard to regulate eating and exercising then.

Well, here goes everything!

Weigh-In the New Year

Well, as the month of January is mostly finished, I decided I can't put off my resolutions any longer. So, to keep me accountable to the world wide web, I'm going to record my exploits...
