The Freakin' Sleeve

I get it, I haven't posted in a long time. Don't hate me. I do, however, have good news! I am currently down almost 20 lbs!!! It was more... but then I went to the Illinois Reading Conference in Springfield last week and, well, I didn't exactly follow "the plan".

Anyway... today marked the first day of my spring break. I would like to tell you I was strong and I ate fruit and veggies.... but you are my friend and I won't lie to you like that. Today was full of icecream with my son, potato chips, left over pasta for dinner, and (worst of all) A FREAKIN' SLEEVE OF THIN MINTS! Please note: a co-worker taught me years ago that saying you ate a "sleeve" of Girl Scout cookies sounded better than calling it what it is --- which is HALF OF A BOX!

Bottom line... I need more support. I find I really do well under the structure of the work environment. I stay busy so I don't snack, I eat my cute little Lean Cusine and an orange for lunch, and then I come home and eat a meal with the family. Life is good. I struggle when I have too much time on my hands.

So, as I leave you tonight to watch the other half of SMASH, I can see that I clearly need to find more things to do around here so I'm not tempted by those miniature temptress' cookies! I think I'll work on a list of things to choose from when I'm thinking about snacking. Hopefully that works. I can do this... probably. (10lbs to go!!!)
