Measuring Monday?

Today WOULD be measuring Monday, except I haven't taken measurements, and I am now getting ready for bed. Bed? At 9:26, Morgan? Why so early? This day has been a whirlwind of craziness, and I am beat. Also, tomorrow, I am getting up super early, and here's why:

All week, Mom has been pushing Bro and I to make letters (similar to cover letters for jobs) to send to all of the principals, assistant principals, and secretaries in the school district where we work. I have not done much until today, the first day of school. This morning, I was up at 7, went to the gym, got back, worked on/printed/signed 10 letters and resumes, filed each in envelopes, stuck a return address on each, and organized them by building. The reason for all this: The person who usually calls us (Mom, Bro, and I) had some job responsibilities cut, including calling all substitutes. Now, each building principal must call their own building's subs as needed. We made these envelopes and handed them to each building principal, assistant principal, and secretaries so that they knew we were available and had our phone numbers.

It was a long, grueling task. We started around 8 and didn't finish until 1:45. After that, we went to a local pizza place for lunch. One hour later, as we were enjoying pizza, Mom gets a call from the high school. They already need a sub for two days this week. Bro takes one, Mom takes the other. As we are heading out the door, she gets another call. 4 days for another teacher this week. I take two, Bro takes one, Mom takes one.

Holy cannoli. This is going to be a busy year. In a good way, of course.

On to weight loss information.

I've been having some major setbacks lately, but I'm not as frustrated as I thought I would be. I think it's because I truly see how much certain foods and drinks impact my weight, I see what changes I can make, and I see the results of those changes.

I took a quiz from Sparkpeople called, "Are You Prepared to Reach Your Goals?" My results:

I am prepared to reach my goals, but I could make improvements, such as tracking progress. I seem to not be able to keep track of any of my goals for more than one day here and there. Now, I set aside time (like this) at nighttime to read over and check off any goals that I achieve. This has actually been really successful! Here's hoping for a good--albeit busy--week!
