Just can't get back in the saddle.

As my weight loss journey continues I find myself unable to get back in the saddle. For 5 to 6 weeks I followed the plan to the tee. I wasn't ever hungry and felt better than I had in years. Now after having a sinus infection, major dental work and a vacation I just can't get back on track.

I am still loosing weight at the rate of about 2 pounds a week but I haven't exercised since my dental procedure and I have been cheating quite a bit when I eat. The main problem is that it makes me feel yucky and I know if I just stopped I would feel better. I just can't.

I plan on going to the grocery store Sunday and planning my meals for next week just like I did when I started. I also want to get back to exercising if its no more than walking on my treadmill for 30 minutes. I will do better!

Summer Break?

I was thinking that as of today our summer break would officially begin. Poogie completed her dance recital yesterday and now we are free of commitments until mid July. I don't know what i was thinking. Today, was full of all the stuff that had to be set aside the last week or so due to dance, school, and other daily dramas.

I have spent the day doing laundry, cleaning, and grocery shopping. Hopefully, I will get to start summer break soon. Of course, I rarely get a truly free day. It would be nice, but a few free hours would do.

I did take a few hours Saturday to spend with the kids in the pool. It was cloudy and warm. Just perfect. I ended up getting a little too much sun, but it was nice. I know, I know that you can burn even on cloudy days, but I even had sunblock on.

Saturday night my hubby and I went to see Sex and the City. We were both huge fans of the series. My hubby actually counted down the days till the premiere. It did not disappoint. I cried and laughed. It just made me miss the series even more. Sniff. Sniff.

Well off to cook dinner.

Organizing and rearranging.

Since all our curriculum started coming in for next year I have been trying to organize my household so that things will run more smoothly next year. As you can see on my slide show I have already gotten my storage closet organized. Now it comes to the books. I have had to purchase a few new book shelves to accommodate all our books.


We also purchased a new PC for homeschooling. Our old one was so slow and ancient and my laptop is not really child friendly. Now I am waiting to get internet hooked up to it. This new internet will be a lot faster than mine.

I also purchased a management software for my computer. It will organize my lesson plans, attendance, keep up with grades and such. I have already been using it and I love it. I can print out daily and weekly lesson lists. It will hopefully cut down on the amount of paper and work I have to do.

I am going to post my final curriculum list on my side bar for next year. I hope that everything works out well for us.
