Good week

Whew--this weekend has been so busy! It was really nice to just completely relax today, after everything from Friday and yesterday. I'll get into that in a minute, but today I am down 68 pounds. Pretty soon, I'll be in the 180s, and the 190s will be gone forever. I'm really having to buy a lot of new clothes now, especially bottoms. Some things still fit weird, since I need a slimmer leg, but bigger waist. I guess clothing manufacturers think if you have a bigger waist, then your legs are bigger too! I bought two cute sweater dresses from Target, so I can wear those to school and for the holidays coming up. I may break down and get a new coat too--I've been wearing a rain coat, but with the cold temps last week, I don't think it's enough. Plus, it's getting too big...at least it has a belt, so I've been tightening that, but I think I may get a coat from Target. I saw some pea coats for $30, and I'm going to wait until next week to see if they're discounted more before Christmas. If I can wait, I might try to hit the after Christmas sales too.

Yesterday we had the annual Jingle Bulls party at our house. This is the 6th time we've had the party, so it is a fun tradition for all of us. We invite the front office staff from the Bulls and this year we had about 25 people. Friday night I spent doing orders, and wrapping gifts. Saturday I finished wrapping all of the gifts, cleaned the entire upstairs and downstairs, and organized my "craft room" which was about 2 hours itself! Chris helped clean, and really got the yard looking great. By the time the party started at 8:00, we were pooped! Today, despite getting up at 8:30, I have really relaxed. I've worked on some christmas gifts, watched christmas movies on abc family, and I'm still in my pajamas right now, as I type my blog and watch the San Diego Chargers game. :)

I was pretty stressed out last week with everything going on at school, but luckily by staying late I got a lot of work done, so I feel a lot better. We have report cards due by Friday, I wanted to plan for the first few weeks in January, and I've been packing my room since I'm moving out to a trailer when we get back. Since I got almost all of my report cards done, and the plans finished, now I can just focus on enjoying this last week with my kids, and getting them to help me move everyting. It's amazing how much kids like to help doing things like that! I've even had offers from kids to miss their recess to help me. It's crazy! :)

Food-wise everything has been fine. I went to the gym once, and didn't make it the two other times I planned on going because of all of the work I had. I don't know how things will look this week with all of the events after school, but I'm going to take my clothes and try to go. The week of the 21st when I'm off, I should take Spencer every day. He'll enjoy that.

Well, that's all for now. I'll post some pictures of me in my new outfits soon. I need to get another pink camisole and gray shorts for my standard shot, since the old ones are getting too big and it might be hard to see the weight loss. Once I do that, I'll post a new round of comparison pics.

Hope everyone is enjoying this holiday time. Love to all!
