jumped again

Yes, I chose my rope again this morning. It's fun to try to learn and practice the tricky moves from my video between sets. I took it a little easy because my joints and muscles in my legs have been achy since my last jumprope session which was my first back here in the hills after a long sea level trip. Guessing it will just take a little time re-adjusting. Today felt better. I'm not as achy. I'll do abwork later today.

Loved Ruth's post. I wish my day had started off as well. Gracyn has been under the weather, and I had to make the decision for her not to go to adventure camp this morning. We'll just meet up with everyone either tonight or tomorrow. She is feeling better, so that's good. I also found out that Braeden's PE and Art classes are too full and he can't attend them after all. I had him all fired up about going too. Another bummer was to find out that the school has decided that they need Kaegan's teacher for part of the time he was supposed to receive services. So, his afternoon at school is shortened. I wonder what else? I absolutely hate dealing with school systems. Even the good ones are a pain.

Some good news is that I am excited to have Braeden with me all day, and I think 2 hours for Kaegan's afternoon will be just about all the teacher will be able to manage anyway. And the middle school teacher has invited Gracyn to join her class on Friday mornings and be a part of their shakespeare study and play.

Anyway...that probably all needed to go on my homeschool blog! Just ranting...

ok.. let me just get this straight..

Braeden cant attend classes cause they are too full.. what if he was a full time student? would they say "oh.. you cant attend cause there is no room?" .. now .. do you pay taxes there? do you have to pay for the classes he attends?
.. hum.. I am just a bit upset for you..

i feel like since I pay taxes I should be able to pick and choose what my kids can take or not .. I also think i should be able to get text books etc from the school they would be going to anyway..(or atleast see what they are using) but oh well.. I guess atleast I have the option of keeping them home.. and didnt have to go to court to do so..

I will be happy to share what I am doing with the kids at our HS coop that i am teaching... if you like.. maybe that will help a bit with art.... ..

the school system is just a mess.. sorry this has happened to you.

soo..

great job on cardio

hope you are feeling better tomorrow too.. :) ..

great to see your post!!!

hugs

More Than One Way

Knowing that the initial weight loss starts out with loss of water weight, I set a goal for the first week, to lose 5 pounds. I lost 6.6 pounds. Yay! Weight isn't everything, but this week, I have gained a pound, which is discouraging for sure. So- I measured instead, and I've lost an inch in my waist. Plus, I wore my belt a notch smaller this week. There is more than one way to measure success! A goal for this second week has been to eat more of the good, healthy fats. I think that my downfall is a repeated one from the past. I don't eat enough to support my activity. My adrenals kick in and I lose ground. I haven't accomplished my dietary goal, so I will re-focus!

Head in the Game

Image
The challenge of keeping my head in the game is REAL! It seems lately, that with every attempt to re-gain my health, I get injured. I'm unable to go to fitness classes or runs right now, so I got excited about jumprope, thinking my foot (broken about 2 YEARS AGO) could take it. I was wrong. Now, I have almost constant pain in my foot/ankle/leg. I am back to 'only' yoga, which I love, but can I lose the weight and gain the strength with yoga alone? I think I can! So now, as I search for medical answers about my foot, I am excited again about yoga. So, here are my 5 Ways to Keep Your Head In The Game: Nix Negativity. Speak only to yourself and into the universe, what brings peace. (thanks, Ruthie) Review your goals. Keep pictures at the ready that represent your aspirations. Go to sleep with the vision of yourself having achieved your goals firmly in your mind. Cut yourself some slack.  Practice makes practice, not perfection. Get a friend in on the journey w...

Old and New

I'm so grateful that I kept this blog as I lost weight and gained strength the first time. Looking back through old posts, I am reminded to be patient and to persevere. I am reminded of my personal inner strength and of the ability to start over every day, as needed. I had gained 70 pounds in the course of the years of trying desperately to teach my autistic son. I poured myself into him and my other 2 homeschooled children. The story of this blog goes that I awakened to the realization that I had to re-learn how to care for myself, and these chapters describe the successful journey of losing 70 pounds and gaining confidence and strength. It's a wonderful story. I loved it as I lived it, and I managed to keep the weight off for 10 years as my children grew up and graduated my tutorship. Many factors slipped in to define the recent few magical years in which my autistic son became able to communicate and I devoted my all to him and to teaching others like him... and re-gained ...
