Week 9

Thoughts for the Week…
·
This week I
am 2.6 more pounds down for a grand total of 27.4 pounds so far! It’s so crazy
to think that it’s only been 2 months ago today that I started this amazing
journey at Square One. When I texted one of my girlfriends my loss for the week
she replied back, “Wow! It’s crazy to think you have lost the amount of weight
of my daughter…she is 29 pounds.” That is wacky…I’ve lost a whole toddler off
of my body! Next week…new “during” pic!
·
I took
Marty’s advice and ate a tablespoon of peanut butter at night if I hadn’t made
it to my minimum number of calories for the day. I was a little nervous that in
doing that I wouldn’t lose as much weight, but it seemed to work out just fine!
It seemed like I had to eat A LOT of peanut butter during the week. This week
I’m trying to incorporate an after school snack so I don’t have to eat so much
PB.

I went to the
Tuesday Train your Brain class this week instead of my usual Saturday morning
class. Usually what is discussed on Tuesday is repeated for the following
Saturday class. That didn’t happen this week, so I listened to the de-stressing
segment again. Maybe there was a higher power behind that thought I needed to
hear that one twice!

with a group of teachers on Wednesdays and Fridays after school. Below is the

Ponder this…
·
One of the ways to de-stress that Marty
talked about was to relax our expectations we have for others. We can only
change our own thinking and behaviors, not anyone else’s. The woman in this
picture clearly needs to come sit in on the “How to De-Stress” segment of Train
your Brain!
