Back from our long weekend vacation!!!

And I did so well!!! The only thing not on our diet that I ate was 2 twizzlers (one Fri and one Sat) at Olive Garden I passed on the bread sticks, drank diet coke ate a ton of salad and got a chicken dish with whole wheat pasta!!! I passed on anything that wasn't on our diet and trust me - there was plenty!! lol Drank water and diet dr pepper the entire weekend, and didn't even cheat when we ate fast food on the way up there - I got a Bacon, lettuce tomato on WHOLE WHEAT from Arby's - hold the sauce!!!

I got all my veggies in, ate fruit, minimal popcorn and peanut butter and since I was at my Granny's, my food choices were limited - but rather than CHEAT - I just didn't eat as much.

Hooray!!!

Then we went shopping and she got me some new clothes for my birthday - 3 pairs of capri pants all different styles, a denim skirt, a dress and a cute tank top!!!

Here's two of the outfits (the pants I got in the smaller size - they are a "bit" snug lol pictures of them in 5 more lbs! haha):

Oh and I will be getting 20 hours of exercise in this week and possibly 20 hours in next week teaching grade 1-6 DANCE!! The local college is hosting Kids Kollege and while my storytelling class didn't "make" the dance teacher couldn't make it to teach so they called me and so I am right now putting together a plan for the week! Haha!!

I have entering 1-3rd grades this week 4 classes 50 minutes long (8am-12pm) and next week I have entering 4th - 6th grades also 4 classes 50 minutes long!!

I look to post a pretty good loss this Friday - having not weighed in for a week and after teaching this stuff!!! ha! ha!

WOW...you did really good! Especially considering all the temptations. I really love the dress. Like Desi, I can't wait to wear cute clothes again.

I have an off-topic question for you about teaching dance that you can hopefully answer.

I don't have formal dance training as an adult. I took dance as a child until age 12. My friend is opening a daycare and wants to be able to offer a dance class for toddlers.

Can you tell me a little about how you got into teaching. Do you know where I can get certified to teach dance for this level?

Good work Jennie!

You look great in your new outfits - I can definitely see the weight loss difference from previous photos. What a sweet grandma to spoil you like that! You deserve it!

Good luck on your classes this week, hope they are lots of fun!
