My Ears Are Bleeding!!!

Ok so I totally failed on the weigh-in...I'm fing up to 200.8! Ugh...up 1.2 pounds

But I'm not letting it get me down, I totally know why it's up... I've been eating like crap, ok actually I've been eating ok but snacking like crazy on crap! And again I know the reason, it's September, and that my friends is the beginning of the new school year which means new kids and pretty much hell for me...
 I've mentioned it before but I am a Pre-school teacher and I teach the 2 yr. old class most of which have never been in school or away from their parents before *(why oh why do parents do this it's NOT a good thing, it is OK to leave your kid with a sitter or family friend or anyone who is not an axe murder or cult member. I know you love your kids more than anything in the world, just like I love mine most of the time but never leaving them for a second when they are babies then all of a sudden when they are 2 you drop them off to a complete stranger in a place they are unfamiliar with, and then wonder why they are screaming their heads off??? Come on it's not rocket science.  If you ever plan on taking your little bundles of joys to pre-school when they hit that magic #2 just remember practice makes perfect go out and have some grown-up time and show them you come back both of you will be happier for it!  and believe me your kids teachers will forever be grateful!!*

OK I'm off my soapbox now...but all that being said I am an emotional eater especially when I'm stressed so lock me in a classroom full of 17 kiddos, 6 of whom are screaming their heads off and making my ears bleed and yes I am running straight to the red vines, cookies, and anything else thats in the staff room.

Disney Weekend

It was a pretty kickback weekend. Not much going on so DQ and I decided to go to the Happiest Place on Earth cause we only ever stay a few hours. We have Disneyland passes and love to go as much as possible, but with the new Cars Land opening we have stayed away all summer, sorry I love the place but nothing is worth standing in line for 3+ hours with a 5 year old, and I figure we'll go hit those rides when the crowds die down in late sept. So we pretty much did our usual Fantasy and Adventure Lands.

I did pretty good food wise I almost always pack us a lunch and or snacks otherwise I am totally tempted by the Monte Cristo sandwich.

This thing is like crack...I'm totally serious

If you've never heard of it you should feel deprived and thankful all at the same time. This little slice of heaven is so damn bad for you, basically it's a turkey, ham, and Swiss sandwich that is deep fried sprinkled with powdered sugar and served with berry preserves weird I know but oh so good... Any way Disneyland is one of the very few places you can get one here in So. Cal.

 But I regress like I said I packed lunch P.B and J (better than the deep fried one) ohh deep fried PB&J and apples, but we did splurge on a churro... Come on how can you go to Disney and not get a churro.

It's a Small world after all :)

The Teacups

My girl loves the carousel.

and a churro on the train...

Hope you all had a great weekend too!

Kindergarten Weigh-In

LOL I just couldn't help it with the title... Hope everyone had a fun and safe Labor Day?  We had a great 3 day weekend filled with good friends, family and of course the requisite ton of  yummy food.  So I'm only down .2 pounds so I'm 199.6, not bad considering all that wine yummy food I mentioned before and I did skip one day at the gym and actually had two rest days in a row.  

But the good news is everything is quickly getting back to normal or some degree of it anyway.  Drama Queen starts kindergarten today, so summer is officially over.  Now to get back into a routine which I'm still trying to figure out since I really haven't had to worry about a kid in school for the last 4 years or so. Yes there is/was TaTa but when your in high school and now college you pretty much figure it out on your own and god forbid you ask your parents for help sheesh.

I did start back on my running schedule so I think that is a start and yesterday was my first "back on the wagon"  run and it was flippen hard! It amazes me how fast your body can forget. I warmed up with a 5 min brisk walk the ran for 2 miles slow as a snail but I felt great and my brain and body weren't ready to quit but my feet on the other hand felt differently. So we came up with a compromise and walked (briskly) another 2 miles for a total of 4.1miles.

sweet! So my plan as of now is to run on Tue, Thurs, & Sun and squeeze classes in between :)
