Day 14 of the dress diet

Again, not an appropriate title.  This is a bit ridiculous.  4 cookies in the morning and 4 tonight.  Whatever.  They confirmed a shoe they found by the river in Tempe is the missing kid's red van.  I celebrated with my friend tonight.  Her proof copy of her book arrived.  I'm very happy for her.  I need sleep.

Day 13 of the dress diet

Still not an appropriate title.  I had 4 cookies today.  Not gonna lie...they were good.  I went to the gym and did a workout 54 seconds faster than I did back in April so that was kind of fun.  I corrected geometry quizzes so that was productive.  It could have been a worse day.  So glad tomorrow is Friday.

Day 12 of the dress diet

I think the title is not appropriate today.  Talk about falling off the wagon.  Too much going on.  I let too much bother me.  Major suckage all around.  I have a huge headache.  I need sleep now.

Days 10 and 11 of the dress diet

Hmm, well I haven't been over on calories but life is always stressful.  A former student has gone missing out in Tempe.  He was last seen on Friday at a fraternity event at a restaurant/bar.  I had him in 10th and 12th grades.  I had his older brother too for stats.  His dad passed away this summer from cancer.  The family anticipated that so they took a "last" vacation together in May.  Ugh.  It's just too much.  I want to eat through the wall but I know I can't.  Side note...chocolate mint coconut milk is VERY good...so good I drank all 400 calories in one day.  Can't buy it again for awhile.

Day 9 of the dress diet

Today was a pretty good day.  SO much better than yesterday.  I got up fairly early and I think that helped.  I went to Target before it got busy.  I tried out a new church that I really liked.  I'll go back next week for sure.  I did a ton of "chores"...2 loads of laundry, dishes, cooked food, took out the trash, put away "fall" decorations, and put up my very limited this year Christmas decorations...4 items total.  I just don't really feel it this year.  I finally decided to try and "joyfully" listen to some Christmas music today and that actually happened.  I wasn't so bitter.  It felt good.  I tried a "festive" drink...chocolate mint coconut milk!  So good.  100 calories in a cup.  I rowed 5000m.  I'm trying to get the Holiday Challenge pin again this year, I guess.  I've rowed 70,000m towards the 200,000m that I need to complete before I leave for the wedding.  I can do it but it's a lot of rowing.  We'll see.  I'm anticipating that tomorrow is going to suck on some levels because I have to deal with all these cheating kids, their counselors, and their parents.  I'm trying to mentally prepare for that now.  Woohoo and oh joy!

Day 8 of the dress diet

I slept in a bit yesterday which completely threw off my day.  I was not in a good mood by the time I arrived at the gym.  I smashed my right big toe doing "wall climbs".  I ran a bunch of errands and ended up at Sprouts buying half a pumpkin pie.  I got home around 12:30 and ate it all...960 calories.  It was good.  My first pumpkin pie of the season and I'm guessing my last.  Then I took a 3 hour nap because that's how much I felt like the day was sucking.

I think the "best" part of the day was finishing my million meters rowed and documented.  I know I've rowed more but this million has been logged so I'm getting a free t-shirt and cheesy pin.  I'm actually excited about that part.  I also got to download a certificate (see below).  I went to bed late and I'm up "early", kinda.  I just had 2 pillsbury cinnamon rolls with carmel icing.  I threw the rest of the tube (6 more) out.  I would have eaten them all.  I did not want to do that.

Today has to be better than yesterday...I hope.  Tomorrow is gonna not be fun because I have to document/call parents/talk to counselors about the 8-10 kids who cheated on Friday's geometry quiz.  Blah.

Day 7 of the dress diet

Friday was SO much better than Thursday.  I rowed 10000m.  I have 8000 to go.  I probably ate all of my 2300 calories for the first time in a week but I was alright with that.  I had a lot of coffee but I have to be ok with that too.  Today should be fine as well.
