We did our staff walk today, but opted only to do the 5K, there were two that ran 10K in the time we walked the 5. Same players again, those who deviled the rest all week stayed home this morning. Perhaps they won't show up until it is time for the 20K....Oh well, it was a beautiful morning--pink clouds over the mountain and no drizzle or fog. We did the walk in just under an hour.
Weight-wise, I've been up and down all week and finally back to 153 this morning. At least I'm staying in the ballpark and maintaining that 65 lb loss. That's the goal for now, I have another 5 weeks before I'll go back on the HCG and try to get those last 20-30 lbs off. Still, I'd like to see the belly shrink--I'd be in 10s instead of 14s (and a few 12s) if it wasn't for that darn belly!
We went into lockdown for the first 2 1/2 hours for school yesterday. I couldn't believe the bellyaching--"I can't work under conditions like this!" My mom's school being close to a major commercial district north of Seattle are in lockdown for some reason or another at least once/even twice a month and her first and second graders deal with it just fine. Just stay quiet, focused, and get escorted to the restrooms when needed. With my Honors sophomores, you'd have thought it was Columbine all over again. (The police activity that put into lockdown was a mile or two away, but the policy is when there is a runner from a crime scene, the schools are locked down.) "I have to text my mom, she'll be worried about me." Honestly, that would make it worse for the police, to have parents converging to the area to deal with their dramatic little darlings. Good Grief! I think it's just because my sophomores spent the week messing around, not doing their work, or preparing for their DBQ essay Unit test on the 1920s. (I also sent home progress reports for that first week of the semester and most were Fs--seems homework or even classwork hasn't been a priority for the majority this week.--I'm such a mean teacher.)
We're having dinner out with my parents tonight for my father's birthday this evening and I want to hit the Flower and Garden show downtown on our way up there this afternoon for a couple of hours. DH isn't thrilled, but he said we could. Then he promptly went off to call his own dad and, well, an hour later, we haven't moved yet. I'd better go pace and pout and let him I'm ready.
I'm taking a break from Pro Cert and other school work this weekend except for a little planning (some done last night and I'll do a bit more tomorrow). The long weekend next week will be for stressing out again on Entry 2.
