Friday..

I'm so glad today is Friday. I need a weekend! This has been a long week. Wednesday was a very stressful day for work, although it turned out to be a false alarm. I still ended up with a splitting tension headache for the whole evening.
Tonight is supposed to be cold and rainy, so I plan to stay home and do as little as possible! There is a highschool game that would be fun to go to, but it's an away game and I just don't have the energy or motivation to go. I may let Terrell go with friends if he wants to.
Tomorrow Terrell has a football game at 8pm. It's the semi-finals! If they win, they will be in the championship game next Saturday. That would be so exciting!! I really hope they win tomorrow. Although, I don't mind admitting that I am ready for football season to be over! We need a break.
I am still struggling with finding an activity for my daughter. She is just not athletic and thus she is not really interested in any sports. We tried soccer this past spring, and I think she enjoyed it, but it just wasn't really her 'thing'. We also tried cheerleading when she was a lot younger, but she wasn't so much in to that, either. We did do scouting (American Heritage Girls) for several years, and she seemed to enjoy it, but it kind of fizzled out. Plus, it was very hard for us to get involved on more than just a surface level because I work full time and wasn't really able to participate in a lot of the activities, volunteering, service hours, etc. I felt overwhelmed a lot! Anyway, she has expressed interest in trying cheerleading again, so we may do that next season. I just want her to have something to be involved in! Not only for the exercise, but for the social aspect, too. We'll see!
I am really struggling with Weight Watchers right now. I don't really know what happened! It seems like I have just given up. I haven't been to a meeting in a couple of weeks, so I don't know how much weight I've gained. I'm feeling differently, though, so I know I have. I've also stopped walking. I was doing SO GOOD, and I've just stopped. I need to get myself back in gear! I've worked too hard to lose these 33 lbs to give up now. I still really want to meet my goal of 50 lbs by Christmas. I know I can do it! I plan to go to my meeting on Saturday, get weighed, and face the music. I need to be accountable. There is no reason whatsoever that I can not continue to be successful on WW. I guess I just let myself get lazy again. I need to get back to that excited and determined feeling that I had when I first started. I know I can do it! I've come this far and I need to keep going. I'm so glad that Halloween is over!! If I never eat another piece of candy (especially a kit-kat or snickers) again, it will be too soon. Ugh.
Well, I just wanted to post a little something. I need to get back to work!
