Tues Check In

[Outback Jess]

Hello STACers...It's national election day! Schools are closed here. Rains are coming and it's another fine day to make our new way of life happen here.

Goodmorning Quitstretching, good morning to our other newbies!
Hey check in and let us know how you are doing...

I am fine, "many of me's" took the day off yesterday....Meaning, "Mrs D" the educational entertainer called in sick...so I did not sing to 250 kindergartners. "Outback Jess" the children's director at church, took the day off from conference planning and phone calls and putting out fires...But good ol "honey the wife, Mommie the Mom, and Jessie the daughter" all hung out here and cleaned, did laundry, cooked for the week, and had very quiet times.

So today it's back on the bike, (it's gonna rain) off to staff mtg, back home to load Momma and her wheelchair up for the polls, and maybe some quality time with DD, who is working hard on Atkins this week! She is focused and determined...

Tuesday is just wrapping up here!

Work turned out to be a lot lighter than it usually is on a Tuesay. I got sent home early! Yay! Upon arriving home, I collapsed into a 2 1/2 hour nap. I think I'm finally caught up on sleep after the weekend.

When I woke up, I got my walking and my shopping done. I orgainized my lunches for the next few days. I did some laundry. I managed to drink 4L of water.

I feel ready for the rest of the week now!

Bed at 9, up at 4 am! Was able to hold a conversation with hubby and not be interrupted by the phone, kids, dog, whatever! After he shipped off to work I watched some of the morning news and put 1.5 miles in on the gazelle! Whoo hooo! I've had yogurt this week using Cleo and Joy's description of rotating foods and what a treat that is! Feels good! I checked and I'm still in ketosis and it causes no hunger, etc. Sitting here reading the board and drinking my water! Gonna be a good day.

Present! (It's sort of like roll call when we were in school, isn't it? -- or, roll call in the Senate. Yeah, I like that one, better. Of course, Teddy Roosevelt did say that when they call roll in the Senate, the Senators don't know whether to say "Present" or "Not guilty!" So, maybe school is better, after all.)

Anyway, I feel great this Election Day morning, and am looking for a good activity to get rid of some of this excess energy. Maybe I'll start my Christmas shopping this afternoon -- that's always a physical challenge!

Here's wishing all you fellow STACers a great day!

Hello STACers!

JESS--lucky bum! Glad you did some stuff for "you" instead of everyone else!
CURVEE--That's so cool that you're in Japan. What kind of job do you do there, and how did you ever luck out to going to a foreign country to work? <envious>
RACHEL--I've been eating yogurt this week too, and it feels like such a treat!
CHRIS--You're a brave man to start your Christmas Shopping already!

It's another gloomy Tuesday here, but I am not gloomy! I had an AWESOME workout last night in my Boot Camp class--meaning they could have mopped the floor with me--but I made it through and gave 110%--it was funny to see some of the "skinny minnies" having a rougher time with the class than I did. I guess I'm strong like bull.

Well today is a long day, staff meeting, workday, after-school tutoring, so I'm taking my day of rest (exercise) for today.

Have a great day, all!

I teach English. I've been teaching since I graduated from university in 2001. I've had the opportunity to work in Japan, Poland and Scotland. There is a lot of demand for TEFL teachers all over the place. If you think it's something you might like, you should really check it out!

CurveeGirl - How fun to be in Japan!! You are doing so well with your weight loss!!

Thank you so much! It's been slow going recently, but I'm sticking to it!

Re: Tues Check In

Hello there.....I don't get to get around to the computer much until the evenings so I am checkin' in a bit late in the evening this Tuesday....hope all have had a great day.
I have to say........I am surviving today and the past few days guzzling iced tea. Probably should be drinking more plain H2O, but for some reason, this is helping me this Tuesday.
See you guys around!

Re: Tues Check In

Hey quit stretchin....glad you popped in. Yep I would encourage you to ween your way off the tea to the water...at least your body is use to the liquids but tea might dehydrate you....
Hey hope tomorrow is as bright as can be!
