Quick update - I gained a pound since I talked last - I have 2 days left on a job I've held for 8 years, my eating has been so-so, not bad, not good, I haven't been to the gym more than twice in the past week, and I'm going to be running one of the largest marching bands in the state of Michigan (the only band in the United States that was invited to perform in China during the Olympics and they just returned yesterday).
Life is insane. I hate that I'm leaving you guys hanging, but it's been absolutely crazy lately. 287.8 was the weigh in.
Starting Monday it's going to be 10 hours of Marching Band camp for a full week and then school starts, where I am responsible for the entire marching band, jazz program and all classes. There will be no time for eating (especially the junk laying around my current work office), and I will be on my feet and marching and running around 10 hours a day.
The weight will get in the right direction.. sorry it's been so light on the blogs/weigh in's lately, but I hardly have time to do anything. I haven't given up, but I totally know it looks like it. Hang in there with me - my world flips on its head Monday morning.

Rob, I was just thinking about you...hoping you were doing well.
Congrats on the new job! It sounds very exciting. Good luck!!!
Thanks, Kristen. Oh, and I forgot to mention one other thing - this is my student teaching, not a new job. It's everything that a new job should be, except that I'm leaving a full time paycheck for what is essentially an internship - a nice way of saying I'm doing this for free. No finances for four months. Leap of faith.
Congrats Tuck!! I know you and Erin will make it through all of this together, as hard as it might be. (take it from me and Jim!)
I was in marching band...twirled the flags! It's hard work, but you'll do GREAT. Hope your band plays the Thanksgiving Day parade-we'll have to come see that!! :)
Just keep doing what you can with the time you have, and do all you can to keep moving forward.
