1. I love swim day Thursdays. I look forward to it all week. :) Kids swim, we hang out.
2. So for a little update on Scott's job. 1451 positions to look through, 273 in the U.S., about 25 in So Cal. He was able to find 5 to apply for which got approved by his boss. Now we wait for the process to be over. He will know in 2-3 weeks.
3. I didn't really do well at all last week (besides my 7 mile run). I managed to gain the 2 pounds back that I lost the week before. I have a feeling some of it might have been water though, cuz 1.2 of it was already off this morning (from yesterday). We'll see if it stays off by next Monday.
4. Swim lessons started this week. The girls love it. This is Skyler's first year in lessons where I wasn't in the pool with her. Courtney started out in level 2 but got moved up to level 3. It was very ridiculous what level 2 was doing. In the 20 minutes I waited to say something they did bubbles, one kick board thing with the teacher, kicking on the wall, holding the wall and pushing off, and Simon says (with bouncing and stuff like that). I went up to the other teachers who weren't teaching and asked if she could move up a level because she can already swim. I said I knew it was only the first day, but it's been 20 minutes already and they haven't swam yet. She needed to have a class to work on strokes, and side breathing...not what they were doing. What they were doing was pretty much what Skyler's class was doing. So, the girl asked the instructor and she asked Courtney to swim to her. She was shocked at how well she could swim. Then had her do the backstroke to test her. Then she had her swim to the next level class. Once she was in the next class it was perfect for her. Right at her level. All of the kids in this class were needing to perfect their swimming. So, now she swims laps pretty much doing different things going across. She loves it. I was shocked when I saw Skyler holding a kick board behind her head and kicking all by herself already. It was awesome.
5. I had such a great time on vacation this last weekend at Shaver Lake. It was so much fun. (more to come)
6. I was looking at the side of my blog at the goals section realizing that it has been since March that I first hit the 60 lb. loss point. I did get up to 64, but as of this morning was back to 60. I need to stop what I'm doing and get serious again. I just keep going from 60 lost to 64 back and forth. It must stop. I must move forward and get past that point.
7. I need to call to schedule my hair appointment already. I have had this free hair cut thing for a couple months now. I seriously need a hair cut. I will be chopping it off. I'll do comparison shots of the last time I got my hair cut and this hair cut.
8. I feel the need to do some major organizing and housework in general. I'm going to start sanding the window sills outside pretty soon and will be painting them after. I want to get rid of a bunch of stuff in the garage too and organize all of my scrapbook and PartyLite stuff.
9. Self sabotage....oh how I loathe thee. Especially when that self sabotage leads to me also getting sick. Why do we do this to ourselves? We know our goals. We pretty much know what we should and shouldn't eat. Yet we give ourselves permission to go against it.
10. Biggest Loser needs to come back. I need that additional inspiration.
