Why do they make you title your blogs? Sometimes I don't have a name for it.

I've been back just a couple of days from Chicago. I'm truly proud of myself for several of the choices I made. I will post several pictures soon. There is still some sorting and uploading to do. When I make that post, I'll tell you all about vacation food!

I stated planning and thinking that I would start juicing when I came back from Chicago and after a training I had yesterday. Today, I woke up and started looking at juicing recipes and blogs immediately and continued to do so for hours. Finally, I just said eff it and I ate some oatmeal with PB2, flax seeds, a little honey and a banana.

It's been a hard day. I feel like a failure that can't stick with anything. Why juicing? Because I know it drops pounds. It's not how I want to live my life though.

On my first lunch day with my new teaching team, one team member made a comment about another saying that she was always super healthy. I want that for myself. I want someone to refer to me as a super healthy eater or the healthiest person they know.

I'm back to counting calories. I ask for prayers and strength that I don't have today.

Hello All,

Hope everyone is having a successful week so far. I'm doing ok. I'm actually on my way to my 2nd Weight Watchers meeting. After this, it gets a little funky and will be a true test of strength. This weekend I'm going to Chicago for a little weekender getaway with my wonderful fella. I think Chicago is infamously known for like more eateries per capita. Even if I made that up, it certainly feels like it. Luckily, we have already picked all of the restaurants that we plan on going to which all have online menus. The goal is to pick what I'm going to eat and do a rough sketch of points prior to going.

Also, another little troublemaker is that I can't attend my normal meeting next week due to a training. I'll have to attend the later that day meeting. This isn't too catastrophic because that is the meeting I intend on being my permanent meeting after school starts. I hate weighing later in the day though. Especially during the school year because I've been on my feet all day and I swear I swell 45 pounds from when I first get up.

On more fun notes, I am attending my first Tai Chi class today. Super intimidated. I'm not sure what to expect and I have absolutely no balance or sense of grace so this should be good. I have just moved to a new town that is very small. God grant me a Target. I just discovered that it does have a yoga studio though. I do love yoga. I'm not good at it but it makes me feel good. Anyways, longest explanantion ever With the package I purchased, I get unlimited classes for the next two weeks! I thought I would try something new. I might be the Chi master. Probably not. But maybe!

I'll try to sneak a picture for you!
