Week #2 of the restart

I really had hoped that the weigh-in today was going to be better but a loss is a loss so I will take it. My life has seen a few changes in the past week. I love being home with Amy, and I have gotten tons done around the house, but its so strange not to be pushed up all the time. I have a helper now too. A maid...nope, not hardly...Paul....no way in hell...its my step daughter home and soon to be divorced. She has only been here a week but what a great help. I can leave Amy with her and run to the store(and its actually a quick trip like the old days) or I can go tanning for a 1/2 hour and not have to get a sitter. She helps with the laundry and the dishes and has actually been great company for me becaus eshe is a night owl too.
On the weight loss front: My knee is much better for now so I'm hoping in another few weeks I can start walking again or at least go back to swimming. I have been eating pretty much on plan with the exception of a few family get togethers over the weekend. My family has no concept of healthy eating...my mom made extra veggies for me...then proceeded to add butter(not margarine) and salt. UGH! So I ate small portions and drank alot of water..I really think todays weigh in would have been a bit better if it hadn't been for all that salt!! LOL She meant well.
I'm looking forward to starting and online Intro to Stats class next week. Hoping I can get it without the teacher standing in front of me beating it into my head. hahaha From the looks of things I managed a nice 3.67 GPA this term,!! yippy. I even discussed taking over a class I took in'90 and dropped out of...giving me an D-..just so that my Cumm. GPA can be a bit better...we'll see it was outdoor rec 1 and I'm not sure I'm up for canoeing, hiking, winter camping and etc. maybe after i get more of this weight off.
I think thats about it for now...except for a shout out to Bobesq...glad you gave your scale another chance!! LOL And to PaulL...thanks for keeping after me!! It really does help!!

Sherri - you are most welcome I can be very good at nagging :-)

Glad to see you are on a downward trend even if it slower than you would like.

Also glad you have a helper so that you can go for walks and run errands - that must feel great!!

Have a good week, and that GPA of 3.67 is GREAT!

A loss is a loss, but you never said how much (lol). You did great on the GPA, congrats!

Good luck with the summer class, Into to Stats... I won't say it sounds like fun. Must still have a little kid in me...summer vacation and such.

Family always mean well, but I know what you mean about not eating right. I was visiting my mother and found a tub of lard in the fridge, lard! Who uses this stuff?!?!?! Take care and have a good week!

Sherri-
Congrats on your GPA. That's great. I am taking an online masters program, and it is quite an adjustment. I don't think I realized how much I benefitted from lectures and discussion until I had to read and comprehend the material on my own. Good luck with stats. I'm sure you'll do great. And good job staying the course with diet.
