Boot camp week #1- LOST 5 POUNDS!
Monday to Monday.
My goal was to lose 5 lbs in 2 weeks...
I did it in one!
Honestly, I thought I had gained weight....(?)
It feels so good to see the progress, feel the success!
Not to mention being completely remotivated.

Do it like a monkey
The other day at school I was trying to peel a banana at school and I couldn't get it open. One of my students offered to help me. He then proceeded to peel it upside down....According to him, it is how monkeys do it! Haha...You learn something new every day! Be sure to pinch the bottom little thing. It will split and then you can peel it. Here's a visual, just in case.
rAnDoM about ME
1- I cannot sleep without socks…sometimes 2 pair….My toes stay cold 24/7 and I can’t even nap without socks…I put them on immediately when I get home and never walk around barefoot, unless I am outside. Cold feet are so gross!
2- On the topic of sleep….I also can’t sleep without a sound soother. I will wake up the second someone turns it off. I even travel with it.
3- I always rinse out my cup before I use it. Yes, even clean ones straight from the cabinet. I am always afraid that there are some chemicals or something on them from the dishwasher…weird, I know. I also rinse off ice before I use it because if not it tastes like the freezer.
4- I do not really enjoy being outside. I’d much rather be inside, bug free, cooking or crafting. I have been that way my entire life.
5- I’m a city girl---no country for me. If it takes more than 3 minutes to get to a store, count me out.
6- I always scroll to the top of the page before going to another site.
7- Unlike my husband, I see no point in washing my car…it’s only going to get dirty again.
8- Favorite color- PINK! Sparkly pink is even better!!!
9- I am scared of horses.
10- I got a hot pink cast for my 20th birthday! I was so happy because I had never broken a bone before!! Ok---I broke my right wrist ice skating right before finals in college. It was actually a really cool experience.
11- Movie faves- #1 Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory (ONLY the original will do) and #2 Moulin Rouge….love me some Nicole and Ewan
12- My toenails are always painted….have been for years. I honestly do not remember the last time I saw them uncovered.
13- If it is cold outside I will probably have my windows down, foot heater turned on and music blaring (Ingrid Michaelson most likely…she is my winter music).
14- I pass a llama every day on my way to work. It makes me smile.
15- I love sprinkles…love.
16- I HATE mayo, sausage, olives (sorry Greek heritage), milk and fried chicken on a bone.
17- I have my dream job- teaching. Unless I can craft and bake for a living…..hmmmm……
18- I love lint rollers. I use them all the time and have them stashed everywhere---car, purse, desk drawer, all over the house…One of the best uses for them is to clean lamp shades!
19- My sister is my best friend. When I was 6, I asked Santa Claus for a little sister and I got her 1 year and 4 months later!! Best. Present. Ever.
20- I am legally blind in my left eye (have been since birth) and have no depth perception.
21- My favorite city is Paris…The romance is intoxicating.
22- I am a list person, which probably has something to do with the form of this post. I just love to check of things that I have accomplished….Sometimes I even add something to a list that I have already completed, just to be able to check it off!
23- I prefer cold weather over hot weather any day of the week! I hate being hot!
24- Social commitments scare me. I’m more inverted than extroverted, and 9 times out of 10, I will not be in the mood for a prearranged social commitment….which basically makes me look flakey. I just get scared….Wow…that was hard for me to tell people.
25- Cars put me to sleep. It’s my parents’ fault though. When I was little they would drive me around to get me to stop crying and to go to sleep. Now, I get sleepy after about 15 minutes in a car. Thanks mom.
26- I <3 HGTV
27- Looking for me? Go to Target. I’m probably there.
28- I only open up to the closest of friends. It makes me feel vulnerable and that is probably why so many of my friends are from elementary school.
***Wow...this post was super long. I typed it on my conference period and apparently I had a lot to say.

Boot Camp
Boot camp starts tonight. I'm SO scared/nervous/excited/terrified/not motivated. It is a huge committment...4 nights a week for 4 weeks. Basically, I won't be cooking dinner for 4 weeks, which weirds me out. Poor Ross..... Our leader guy is an ex-marine and current pastor...intersting combo...So basically, he will kick our butts in the name of Jesus...I kinda like that! Anyway, wish me luck! I've got to get this body into shape for a baby!! (no, that doesn't mean I'm preggers, not yet anyway)
