Today was a great day, but it had nothing to do with weight loss. Remember how I said I'm a student teacher and I'm working with the middle school bands? Today was our "Festival" - a competition where each band is rated on 3 songs and a sight reading piece. Long story made short, I was in the gym at 6am, to the school by 8:30am, and I left the school around 8:30pm.
The results from the contest? Each band gets a rating from 3 judges - "I" (one) being the best, and "V" (five) being the worst. They strive all year towards this contest.
The 7th grade band?
They got straight "I"'s from 3 different judges.
The 8th grade band?
They got two "I's and a "II" - which gives them a final rating of "I"
We swept it. I'm INCREDIBLY proud of them.
I'm proud of myself too - bringing this back to weight loss. I had a PBJ for breakfast (running out the door), coffee during the morning, 220 cals of Chicken Noodle Soup and 2 oranges for lunch, and then a pretty damned good Chili-Lime Grilled Chicken Salad (250 cals) at Applebees off of their Weight Watchers menu with their French Onion soup (150 cals).
Great day all around - I'm EXHAUSTED, but I wouldn't trade today's achievements for anything. There's only one thing better - and that's me NOT having to set my alarm to wake up early on a Saturday morning.
Weekend warriors, everyone. Stay strong.

Congratulations! It's good to have a well rounded life not dominated by one thing and one thing only, and I can see by your words that you really love what you are doing. Awesome.
This post is bringing back memories :) Great job staying on track, a day like this would be easy to trail off in the wrong direction.
i agree with Geoff. You gotta have some other things going on other tan weight loss and it obviously seems like you do. Congrats on the good marks! Seems like you're really dedicated to your kids, thats great.
