So I weighed myself this morning, and am back down to 229.8 My goal is to fly past Valentines without the self-pity party of chocolate, strawberries and champagne, so I can continue to fall through the 220s.
The numbers:
12/31/07- 243
01/04/08- 238
01/11/08- 235.2
01/16/08- 234.0
01/25/08- 228.4
01/29/08- 229.8
02/06/08- 231.0
02/08/08- 229.8
School was good yesterday. Our class has instituted a bank system, whereby I pay them for good behavior, homework etc in plastic pennies. Today was the introduction of the tax. The Talking Out Tax, the Being Bossy Tax, and the Triple-T - Tattle Tale Tax. Rather than getting my emotions worked up, I just told the child, "You owe me the _____ tax. Go bring me a penny". With our class store being today, most of them want to save their money, hehe.
Last night I worked some more on an assignment for my online class. This is the third class of four, and each class seems to ramp up the workload from the previous... or maybe that's my imagination. I'm supposed to submit a 5 lesson plan outline that has about 6 categories specified for each lesson. I'm choosing to do my Japanese practicum, so I can improve what my tenuous thoughts are on it. The bad part is that means this is all from scratch, so it's a lot to put out in a week.
I'm getting a new bed this weekend. Time to put the old, 13-somethin' mattresses to rest. I'm thinking of buying a new sheet/ quilt set to go with the new bed. Maybe something girly from Shabby Chic.

NICE Blog :)
thanks!
my kids all had the money system in 2nd grade (when they are studying money too) - got paid each day for being at school, paid rent, could pay insurance (had to do with sick days and pay for being there), paid for missing work (because then they weren't doing their "JOB"), ETC. they all loved this sytem.
I had this once - irronically in 6th grade and with poker chips. Can't remember that it was a systematic - true life like as my kids in 2nd - mine in 6th was more as a treat/reward.
congrats on the weight loss - looks very steady.
woo! thanks Vickie!
