3 Weeks, 21 Days, 504 Hours

I read this post over at Janna's blog and got a little convicted last week.   

My weight has started sneaking back up on me.  My pop consumption is on overload.  I haven't exercised in weeks.  I need a jump-start and this is it I hope!

I needed to get through the end of the year stress and celebration.  I also needed to start on a easy day to remember, so today was it.  The first day of summer break and June 1st. 

I can do 21 days; I may have to redo a day or two, but I can do it!   Last night was our end of the year party and I felt it this morning, so I didn't do the best, but I wanted to keep the plan going.  It can only get better, not worse.

THE STATS!

Weight:   0 Lbs

Water:  I drank a big pop from McD's, but did have two bottles of water and a large glass.  My goal for tomorrow is 64 ounces.

Exercise:  I took Kinzie to the zoo this morning and we walked the zoo.  We also went on a family walk tonight.  My goal for tomorrow is to do go back to the gym and see how I do on treadmill or elliptical.

Food:  BAD-enough said

My goal is 10 lbs in 21 days.  That's a 3 1/2 pounds a week.  If I complete my 21 days, not if I lose my 10 lbs,  my reward is going to be a facial!  I've always wanted one and never done it, so I'm going to bite the bullet and do it!

By The Numbers

It's the 1st day of May. 

The last day of May is the last day.

There are 20 student days left.

Next Saturday I get to scrapbook for 9 hours.

I have 1 wedding, 1 graduation, 1 overnight, 1 Mother's Day, 1 birthday in May

I have 80 boxes to pack at school, 21 kids to assess, 21 report cards to complete.

Better Get Crackin'.....

Friday Confessional

Mamarazzi loves us!   

She loves us so much that she tells us to confess on Friday so we can enjoy our weekend guilt free! 

I CONFESS

That I cried this morning.  My baby is not a baby anymore!  She turned 18 months today!  

I CONFESS

That I am being really lazy at home lately.  

Laundry, dishes, cleaning-and I don't really care

I CONFESS

That I have fallen in love with teacher blogs!

I can't wait to use all these great ideas next year!

I CONFESS

That I've been really bad with my eating habits...

I had Ice Cream as a meal this week.

  I also ate straight out of the carton, why get a spoon dirty.

I CONFESS

That I harassed Hubby in the middle of the night this week...

Not once,

Not twice,

BUT THREE TIMES!

He's a lucky man!

(I've also got Baby Fever)

Whew!   Feel so much better :)  What do you need to CONFESS?

Happy List

We've been doing a lot of FUN Easter Activities!   The joy on her face as she experiences this new fun holiday has been priceless!    Truly has made me HAPPY!  Even though the weather is not.    Maybe by May we will enjoy a little spring weather!

Head on over to Mamarazzi's and join in sharing some Happiness this Easter Weekend!

Swap Time

I participated in Mamarazzi's  favorite things swap!   This is my third swap and I think I might have officially become an addict!   Mamarazzi did great once again and partnered me up with Sara from Outta this World!    I loved getting to know Sara and her whole family!   I can't wait til Dexter joins them and they become a family of 6!

These are a few of Sara Jo's favorite things:

Sugar cookies, cookie cutters and sprinkles galore!   I can't wait to make cookies with Kinzie!

An adorable picture frame, some cool mint candles-they smell great!   Paul Frank socks that are super fun!  I'm anxious to wear these!   And some fun flip-flops for the pool this summer!

Some awesome smelling bodywash, that Sara says feels great!  A new loofah-gotta love those!  Some new hand lotion!  I'm having some dry hands this week, so it has already came in handy!   Cadbury eggs and chocolate peeps!  Yummy!   Some cinammon gum and Burt's Bee's Chapstick.  I haven't ever actually bought this chapstick, so I tried it out already and loved it!  Kinzie likes it too-since she saw me use it! 

Thanks so much Sara for your Favorite things!

Friday Confessional

They say Confession is good for the soul, so head on over to Mamarazzi and join in with the juicy details!

I gotta confess that the week after Spring Break has got to be the most exhausting week ever.  I'm so drained mentally, physically and emotionally. 

I gotta confess that because of all that I haven't done a bit of work at home.  I am pulling clean dishes to use out of the dishwasher.  Or using paper.  

I gotta confess that the laundry is overflowing.  I'm pretty sure I'm running low on undies...may be breaking out the emergency pairs for tomorrow.

I gotta confess that I ate like crap on Spring Break and now I am paying for it miserably.  But I don't care...I'm still eating like crap due to the stress of everything.

I gotta confess I'm super excited that today is Friday and it's Juice Stop day! 

I gotta confess that I'm feeling like a huge weight is lifted off after all this confessing!  

If you need to vent, head onver and join up!
