Shrink-a-Versary Weigh In Week Three AND MUCH MORE!

It's Wednesday and that means.... well it means lots of things today lol.  One--it's weigh in day for SOTSJ. With my healthy diet of cookies light meals yesterday I was pleasantly surprised to find my scale down a half pound this week, at an even 161.  Woot!  I've set my goal to get to 155 by the end of this challenge.  I know myself better than to think I'll lose more than that or even if that much.  I like food too much, but I'm slowly changing and so the change is slow. 

Secondly it's also check in day for recording our miles this last week for SOTSJ.  I've been logging my miles in over at Dailymile with the rest of group.  It's very encouraging to see all of you there! I'm happy to add 19 miles to our total since last Wednesday! I love the Lifetime Stats it gives you--I've powered 67 tv's and burned 9 doughnuts of calories lol.

Another milestone this week, we had parent-teacher conferences last night at the kids school.  I'm very proud of them both! This is the first year Gina gets actual grades, and she got 1 B and the rest were A's! Her only area she really could improve on is participating, and she knows that she's a little too shy when it comes to that so hopefully she can overcome that hurdle yet.  Jimmy's "grades" were a bit different for what they use in the 1st grade.  A "3" is needed by the end of the year, and he already has a lot of them, but he has some 2s and 1s also.  Its nothing I'm concerned about.  His real issues are attention and self-control yet.  I need to find a way to help him control noisemaking, and how to actually LISTEN when the teacher gives directions.  I thank God for his teacher this year tho, God bless her patience & understanding in dealing with his quirks. I know he can drive me batty at times at home, and I don't have 20 other kids I need to help too.  

Finally, today is the day after my first real job interview in 8 years.  The interview went well, in my opinion.  Now I just have to wait for an offer or rejection.  The extra money would be so helpful, but I'm not so set on getting it that the disappointment would be overwhelming if I don't.  Getting this job would mean a whole change in lifestyle for me and my family.  It's a bit scary of a jump to make.  I'm sure we'd do fine, but change-no matter how good it is-is stressful in the beginning.
