Interesting Websites

I have found some really great websites lately that are giving me great tips and ideas for my weightloss http://www.skinnyms.com/ and http://allwomenstalk.com/7-fastest-ways-to-lose-weight/#mostliked . Love them! Thought  I would share with those who may need some ideas! I started the fat blasting challenge yesterday. This includes intervals on the elliptical trainer. I did 35 minutes yesterday. 5 min warm up, 30 seconds of GO HARD OR GO HOME, as fast as your feet can take you then 10 seconds of rest, and repeat 30 times. Let's just say, I was one sweaty beast and actually felt like I worked out. I woke up this morning and totally felt it. Gonna do it again today at the gym after work!
Happy Losing!

Monday Weigh-in

Good Morning! So I weighed in this morning and I lost .2 lbs. My starting weight was 166.4, last week 3/12 I lost exactly 3 lbs and this week .2lbs. So I am down 3.2! I am proud of myself.. a loss is a loss! I just need to keep up the motivation to keep eating right and working out. I would ideally like to lose 20lbs by July13th. However, I will take whatever my body allows be. With hard work and motivation I can do anything.
Happy Monday! Time to go pick my class up from Music!

Day 1 blogging

So day one has been very successful! I worked out at 5am did the elliptical trainer for 35 minutes! I did my weighted, 5lb hula hoop during my recess duty for 20 Minutes straight! I ate well and tracked all my calories using myfitnesspal.com! Tonight however we are going to Fuji the Japanese Steak House for a friends birthday! I'm going to try to cut back on my portions and try not to over indulge!
Based upon a 1,300 calorie diet (which I've allowed myself) I have 246 calories left today! I doubt I'll be under my calorie goal but I will just have to let tonight be my only night to "splurge" so to speak this weekend.
Going to hit the gym at 5am again. Tomorrow is my aunts 1 year anniversary of her death so I'll be hanging with family tomorrow night. Since I have to drive I won't be drinking which is a plus. Cheers to a good motivated day tomorrow! I'll weigh in on Monday's! That's the day me & my gym buddy agreed on. So last Monday I weighed in at 163.4. This is down 3 lbs from the previous week. So hooray for me!!!! Hoping Monday has good results as well!
Until the next posting... "be kind to everyone you meet, everyone is fighting some kind of battle"

So I am changing my blog!

I've decided that I need more motivation to help me along on my weightless journey!!!! While I've slacked off on my classroom blog, I've decided to continue but on a weightless blog!!!! I'd like it too help keep me Honest! So tomorrow I'll start my blogging about my weightless goals & journey! Ill have to give my blog a new look & a new name! This is for no one but myself! It's time to get focused & go hard! A journal for my journey! It's worked for many others so I'm going to give it a whirl! Here goes nothing!!! Or something ;0)

Almost the end of week 1

Hello! It is almost the end of the first week and I must say, I am EXHAUSTED! The kids are wonderful and we are having a blast! My boggle board that I got from Mrs. Roja's is a HUGE success! My kids love it but I must say, I LOVE it even more, SO FUN!!!!!! Putting all the F-U-N aside, My classroom is still in ruins but on the mend. I am slowly getting organized but there is just not enough time in the day. Maybe if I wasn't such an "organized HOARDER" (thanks Jackie) then it would be on the mend quicker, LOLOLOL!!!!  Hopefully by tomorrow afternoon, it will be all ready! My parents and kids have been so patient and understanding. I have to say, this is the BEST beginning of the year I have ever had... even with all the choas! I am blessed and grateful for all the wonderful people in my life who are there for me and guide me in the right direction. For that, I want to say THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart! I don't know where I would be without you, and you KNOW who you are!!!!! Love you all... until next time....

First Week Back to School with NO kids

So... The teachers have been back at school for our weekly in-service. This includes meetings and getting our classrooms in order. The meetings have been successful, minus the EARTHQUAKE!!!!! I was in the library with my Pre-k- 2 teachers, we thought the shaking was coming from the basement where they are fixing everything from the water damage. Then books started falling off the shelves and we all just booked it outside! Needless to say, our boss let us go home for the day! I am ok for the next 29 years to NEVER experience anything like that ever again!!!! Anywho.....
Unfortunately, the water damage has closed down the entire basement of our school. Of course this is where my classroom is located! My classroom is usually ready to go by now and I am just working on lesson plans and what not. However, year 7 as a teacher and this is not the case! I will not be able to get into my classroom until the first day of school.... This means, no names on desks, no books ready, no lesson plans ready, NO ORGANIZATION.... I am FREAKING out!!!!! I am so O.C.D. and this is the opposite of how I would like to start the year! Luckily our school is very good about team work and I know we will get through this challenge! I am hoping and praying that the kids are cooperative on day 1, let alone for the first week! Stay tuned for week one adventures! I am still positive about this year and I can not wait to get my class involved and learning! I have so many ideas running through my head.... So stay turned for The Week 1- Adventures from Miss McQ's Classroom. Until then, PRAY... PRAY HARD, and PRAY OFTEN that all goes well for me and my fellow colleagues!
