The Results Are In
I have three things to update you on today.
- First, we have decided to cancel the summer vacation in Gatlinburg and have re-scheduled for the first week of October. The kids will be on Fall Break then, and will only have to miss a couple days of school. I feel good about the decision, and have already made plans to do a couple things with the kids that are semi-local. I am looking forward to us all being together for vacation in the fall.
- Secondly, we got the kids achievement test scores back on Wednesday. Yay! My kids all did well. Sometimes, I wonder what in the world I worry so much about! There were some minor gaps in a couple subjects for one of my children, but we have devised a plan to take care of that this summer! I'm excited about that. They will be ready when August comes and it's time to head off to school--ahem...for the very first time.
- And thirdly, it is time to discuss the past week's successes and failures in the May Day Weight Challenge. Start weight: 137.9 This week: 137.1
I am not completely sure about my weight loss, but think it is down 1/2 pound. My new scales aren't as great as I thought they would be. I was very good this past week with my eating--in spite of a special Mother's Day German chocolate cake and my husband's birthday key lime pie. I stayed under my calorie goal except for 2 days--and I had exercised on one of those. I was able to exercise 4 times. I am running/walking and going to Curves.

Hey Jenna, It sounds like all three of those updates are good things! Yippee! I just love good news!
Good news! Sounds like you have done an excellent job with your kids' schooling. I know you will look forward to your trip in the fall. That will be a great time to go to Gatlinburg. It will be gorgeous!
Great job on the excercise! 4 days? I am jealous! I only made it to the treadmill once...but does running around the yard with the kids count???
Wonderful news on the scores!! Yeah, we tend to worry for no reason, LOL. I think, as mothers, that's natural but then ya toss in the fact that we homeschool. It takes it to a whole 'nother level.
I'm glad you were able to make a decision about the family vacation. Sounds like you have alot to look forward to.
Don't be discouraged about the weight loss - I only lost 1/2 lb. this week too. I'm looking forward to a much bigger one next week1
Great updates, I almost forgot this was the day to weigh :o)...
I guess I will do that and then post, hopefully it will be good news.
I knew your kids would have great scores btw.
I bet it feels good to have made a decision about the family summer vacation - now you can get on with planning the things you're going to do this summer instead of the original trip! Congrats to the kids on their scores!
I bet when you're all in Gatlinburg together you'll be so glad you chose to wait. Glad your kids are doing well, too. There's really just an infinite amount of things we can worry about as mothers, isn't there.
Those are all good updates! :)
Good for you for your commitment to getting fit...I so need to do this!
Blessings!
We are going to Pigeon Forge next weekend!!
I think Gatlinburg would begreat in the Fall! We went last New Year's and had a great time!
German Chocolate Cake...yum!!!
I bet Gatlingburg will be good in the fall and I'm glad you and the kids will still get to do something together this summer! Should be fun.
Good job on the weight/exercise!
Half a pound is nothing to sneeze at! Congrats on the good reports all around for the kiddos, and I'm glad you got your vacation figured out. October is a lovely time to vacate. :)
Congratulations to you! I'm glad you figured out what to do about the vacation thing. I had no wisdom whatsoever, so I didn't ever bother commenting.....we'll be at the beach while you're at the mountains.
Way to go with your eating!! I'm trying, but I'm not posting on the internet. I've picked up my exercise routine again. :)
Congrats on the weight loss. Glad you've met your calorie goals and are exercising!
