Down down down

I need to update that weight ticker… I am down to 201 pounds as of this morning!  Whoo.  And it’s amazing, I might add, lol.  Yesterday I was at 203, but not quite believing it, and today I got on the scale 3 times to read 201.2.  Not that far from under 200 (again… and this time I MUST keep it off, no matter what.  Maintaining is going to be the key…and the hard part.)  So I’m close to only 50 pounds to go.  Lately the weight has not been coming off fast… sometimes not at all really.  However… cannot concentrate on that, need to concentrate on what I’m doing right.  And keep doing it.  When I lose another 10 pounds, I’ll readjust everything on spark people so it’s accurate.  Also, I’ve got to make it so I can eat more calories and exercise a little less.  I know that’ll mean slower weight loss, but I am so tired of this game, I just want to be able to keep it up for the long haul.  Some days will be better than others, but I am rather tired of pushing myself.  Which reminds me… lol, need to go do another 10 minutes of Step… I’ve done 20 minutes so far, and I’m tired of it already.  Maybe DDR is what I should do instead, or do the "jog in place" on the Wii, only I don’t jog, I dance.  The Wii doesn’t know the difference, and I can use the music I like and dance any way I want.  I need to look into different games for the Wii…but I’m not impressed with the ones for the Fit that are out, so hopefully they’ll realease something soon that looks more fun.

Today has been such a slow day.  We did clean out the school room some, but Jerry had to go get some docs notartized for this deal he’s closing, and so he left before the notary closed.  So hopefully tonight he finds the time to put the desks together.  We moved the couch upstairs to his room, so we could put up 2 more desks in that room, one for a kid, one for the computer, which they need to be able to share.  There are, essentially, 4 desks in that room (5 if you count the rickety thing the computer is sitting on now… it’s not going to be stable enough to actually use for that purpose), but they’re almost all in "L" shapes, which means if we try to put more than one kid at them, they’re going to bump into each other, and it’s NOT going to work.  Now, if we took them out from the wall slightly, then it MIGHT work, because a kid could be opposite, but we have enough desks and enough space that we can just put another desk in there and 2 kids will get a L shaped desk and one kid will be stuck with a regular desk.  I might just stick Becca with that one for her general attitude of "I should get the biggest and the best and the newest cause I’m the oldest!"  Shabree ALWAYS gets shortchanged on everything because she is 3rd.  Becca gets stuff first, then Syd, then Shabree.  Sammi and Alex are too young to care, for now.  But they’re going to grow up and have the same problem.  Of course, when Alex starts school, Becca should be pretty darn close to graduating, if not graduated.  But I’ll have to cross that bridge when I come to it, figureing out where to put her if Bec’s NOT graduated… which come to think of it, heck, I really don’t know!  Let’s see… IF Bec made it to the 8th grade, then she’s got 5 more years.  So that’ll put her as a senior when Alex starts K.  If she’s been held back (again…) then she’ll only be a junior.  OMG.  I HOPE she passed to the 8th grade!

I’d better get to this 10 minutes of step before Jerry gets home and we start in on the cleaning and stuff again… not to mention the Salmon for dinner.
