Scraps

I haven't written a "real" blog in awhile but I thought I would update with some random bits and pieces just to give you a bit of a look into what I've been up to and what I have planned.


Weight Watchers
I've been back on the points for a month now because my clothes were starting to feel mighty restrictive and I liked them too much to replace the entire wardrobe. It's not always easy to stick to but the fact I can get my butt back in to a pair of trousers I barely fit into when I bought them (I figured I had two other pairs in different colours in that size so these should also fit) means a lot to me. They are even a bit baggy which is fabulous. I also have a pair of skinny jeans I bought in California that I couldn't even get past my butt about a month ago. Seriously, they would not go any further than just under my bum and getting them off my legs again nearly required scissors. I dared to try them on again today and, though still very tight, they not only pass my posterior, they also close! Yippee!!! Long live WW and achievable goals!

I am going to have a glass of wine that is no longer in my points tally for the day to celebrate. Hey, gotta live in the moment, right?

Travel
I am really looking forward to my trips to Liverpool and Canada. Julie and I have been gabbing on MSN a lot lately just chewing the fat and looking forward to doing it for real very, very soon. I think she may have planned a teensy bit too much for the eleven days I have but I can't blame her at all and I can't wait to see what she's got up her sleeve.

The HfH build in Liverpool is another exciting weekend coming up at the end of May. I sure hope I don't completely suck at house building. :S

Then there's the new idea to go to LA in the spring break which is one that I really hope gets realized. I actually miss the place a lot and I want to go to LA Ink for a new tattoo. Hahahaha. I have it designed and everything. Fingers crossed that that works out!

Work
Is going very well. If I can manage to get a permanent job there (again) I am seriously considering going back. Funny the circles you sometimes have to walk in to realize you're on the right path.

Even if it doesn't work out at Dream School, I have learned that I really do love teaching and it's what I am supposed to be doing.

Health
While I am loving going to the gym and beating up invisible people at BodyJam or reaching mini zen in BodyBalance, I have noticed recently that my hips don't like the action much and my legs aren't walking me as far as they used to. I hope it's just a weather thing or me having to get used to the movement again because if this is the beginning of some kind of deterioration I may have to have a wee panic.

I am sticking to my healthy eating plan way better now that I am on the points again and feeling the effects not only in the trouser department but also in the skin department. I had major break outs not that long ago and my chin looked horrible but it seems to be on the mend.
