After an awesome weather week here, temperatures in the upper 40's-mid 50's, we are back to winter. Snow, sleet and freezing rain. Can't believe February is just about over. Not sure where the month went, but it went. We did a lot of outdoor playing this past week, I checked a few blogs and started writing, but the 2 yr old rules the house lately and naps have not been occurring daily anymore. That's alright because if he doesn't get that afternoon nap, he's tucked up by 6:30ish.
Our state has had quite the month. Everyone was so united while cheering our beloved Packers onto victory. What a ride! In the middle of Superbowl week was a huge blizzard, which also tends to unite people with stories of survival and pitching in to help neighbors.
This past week, politics has ruled the state. Our public employees, including public school teachers have been rallying in the state capital. It's affecting everyone's lives whether we work in the public sector or not, everyone definitely knows someone who does and all of our views are very different. This has totally divided the state. From Packer triumph, to political division...our state has had quite the month.
I'm still not feeling the tracking. My Territory Manger suggested I try to track during the "toughest" part of my day. For me, that seems to be all day lately. I had been having difficulty after school, to the end of the day. That still continues to be the toughest part of the day and I've found myself eating just to eat and not worrying about tracking. I track great for a day or two and then leave it. Seems I still have a bad relationship with the scale, if it's down, I give myself permission to eat like a cow for the day.
Hoping for a great week as Saturday is my monthly weigh-in day. Exercise continues to be fun at the gym, but I've been skipping the weekends, should probably still be doing something besides watching NASCAR and munching. What a race though!

Long Week
What a week! Monday we had snow, Tuesday we had snow, Wednesday we had once in a lifetime snow almost 2 feet!, Thursday was my birthday and today no school once again. It was quite the week with my wife being home Wednesday and most of Thursday, the kids being home Wednesday and off today. My girls went to grandma and grandpa's for a few days, sure makes the house quiet!
I worked out everyday this week. On Tuesday, the bootcamp instructor went around the gym making sure everyone was planning on making it on Wednesday. I told her if the weathermen were right, I was staying home. They were right! I was outrageous how much snow we got. Milwaukee schools cancelled Wednesday classes at 10:00 in the morning on Tuesday. They also cancelled Thursday classes because many of the roads and sidewalks were still not shoveled/plowed. It was amazing! Wednesday morning, I shoveled and shoveled and shoveled some more. A little after 8:00, the bootcamp instructor called our house and sadly announced that she couldn't get out so she was staying home. I was a bit surprised she actually went out of her way to call us. I know she called at least 5-10 of us that go to the gym daily. There was no way I could have even gotten there by 9:00. I couldn't even get out of the garage before about 11:00 and didn't finish shoveling everything till after 2:00, but I did make it to work in the evening.
Thursday, I celebrated my birthday. My 5 yr old woke up this morning wondering when we were having birthday cake. We went out to eat at Applebees and got a free birthday sundae which four of us shared. Plenty and didn't have the temptation of cake around the house.
I've actually been doing great tracking this week. Last Saturday, my Territory Manager from WW stopped in our center and gave me a quick pep talk along with a one minute motivation. Got me to track all week, so that's a good thing.
Hoping for a good weekend. Go Packers!
