Soooooo Brandon and I decided to do the Advocare 24 Day Challenge. I stepped on the scale today to get my starting weight and we'll just say it's not pretty. As a kid and throughout high school and into college, I was very thin. My parents didn't have junk food or pop(soda for you southerners) in the house. We only got that on special occasions like holidays or birthdays. We were always very active. I think I played every sport imaginable and my dad coached boys' sports so I was right there playing with boys all of the time(and beating them:). So where did that person's drive for exercise and health go??? I have no idea!! I've slowly let myself gain and gain. When I look in the mirror, I don't like what I see. I never feel comfortable in clothes. I have a wardrobe of clothes in my closet that don't fit. I can no longer blame pregnancy weight---it has been four years!!! So I'm going to try the 24 day challenge through Advocare. Brandon is doing it with me. We are planning our meals. I'll keep y'all updated......
AND OUR WEEKEND.....
The kids woke up on Saturday wanting to go to school. I'm glad they love it. Our favorite Chloe quote from Friday "I played in the kitchen, or dramatic play area. That's what Ms. Beth likes to call it." Today was a nice sleep in day as Ashlyn got up at 9 am and Chloe 11 am. Yes you heard me right. So no naps and in bed at 7:30 which has been the bedtime on school nights. I'm in for another busy week especially tomorrow as I have curriculum night for my gifted second graders and then would like to attend Ashlyn's Kindergarten curriculum night. Next Monday night, I have curriculum night for my gifted and accelerated third graders. This would be the only bad thing about teaching two grade levels. K-2 is usually one night and 3-5 another night for a lot of events. Oh well!!
Brandon is home this week so Ashlyn is thrilled to be able to ride the bus. Brandon likes the fact that this is his special time with Ashlyn. I like it because I can get ready for the day in my classroom without a five year old asking me 500 questions. Ashlyn says it's her favorite thing about a school. It's a win-win for all!
