Do you ever feel like your running around in circles? I have so much to get done prior to THIS Friday! Our high school drill team is sponsoring a big (32 schools are coming) competition this Friday and Saturday. Well, that means as parents and since McKay is a Captain of the team- I have to be at the school Friday afternoon until the late night and then again Saturday 5:30am- up to 11pm at night. Oh, yes...this RIGHT before leaving for HSN in FL on Monday and CHA.
Did I mention that since the workshop at Oh Scrap sold out that I added a THIRD workshop? Call me crazy...yes, but I told them if they could fill it- I would come. Well, Timeless Treasures calls me and I had 20 students sign up right away when I announced. WOW...humbled and grateful for the support. However, that means that I need to kit another class. So hence, it's a LITTLE busy. NOW... I am NOT complaining...because I honestly LOVE LOVE LOVE what I do. I have had to learn to learn to manage my time.
Did I mention that my friends at Provo Craft are helping me to YUDU all the ORANGE shirts for the competition? We needed 50 shirts personalized with a logo that I designed. A little stressful since I am doing them TODAY- along with everything else! THANK YOU THANK YOU... I will post a photo of my special project. (shirts are for the parents and staff of the event)
Breathe... I can do this! Right?
Yesterday, FABULOUS day at Weight Watchers. I lost another 2.4 lbs this week. I am in LOVE with the POINTS PLUS system. This is my take on the new program. I naturally LOVE fruits and vegetables so this has made the plan of becoming healthier easier for ME. I can eat them both without feeling guilt and naturally choose them over the bad stuff more now.When I travel, I struggle with always having to eat out (airport food) and it seems there is lots more HEAVY carb choices.
Last week, I decided to not eat my EXTRA 49 points for the week. It was a choice. I have been feeling the stress of going on TV again (nothing like doing regular TV shows to keep your weight SOMEWHAT in check...for me!) and realizing that I was just coasting a bit with smaller weight losses. I want to become a lifetime member of Weight Watchers. That means you STILL go to the weekly meetings but you don't have the weekly fee. THAT is my goal. I want to get to my ultimate goal weight and STAY THERE! Oh yes, that is a probably most of our goals...right? It's a constant battle! I think maintaining any weight loss is my "ongoing" challenge. I am a yo yo... and guess what? I always will be. I
Now...with Weight Watchers for me- its is SLOW! It is not for those who are expecting to see 2-3 lbs a week or more lost. It is not like the Biggest Loser show! I decided when I joined a few months ago that I wanted something sustainable and I really like going to the meetings. I attend every Tuesday and my leader Gina is super motivational. My first thought is that you have to be committed to going EVERY week and be accountable for your weekly "date" with the scale. Yes, I have weeks where I lose nothing or have a small gain. However, it does keep me accountable. In fact, prior to my flight on Monday- I am going to go get weighed in.
So I have to just say... I think when it comes to it. I realized I had to decide WHAT I want MORE of-
Do I want to lose WEIGHT more? I had to decide to scale back on my other desire for some of my favorite yummy foods. It's a constant battle...daily for me! I am a emotional eater. I eat when I'm happy, sad, celebrating, depressed, etc.
NOW...I am up getting my kids fed and out the door to school. However, TODAY... watch for another blog post- debuting a second collection TODAY!!!!!!!!
