Chris1979's Journal, 10 Aug 10

I feel mildly MIA and correspondingly, my weight is up. Luckily Bailey has requested that we start our 2 week South Beach challenge NOW. I will be starting tomorrow b/c I already had carbs for breakfast. I NEED this challenge to get back on track. My weight is in my "danger" zone... meaning my BMI is just over 25. Not cool!

I've been a work horse these past few days. This is our busy time of year at my job so I need to get back to my latest write-up.

I do want to say that my parents pulled through for me. Now I feel bad for venting about them a few months back. They are covering my next semester's worth of tuition for me-- already gave me the check and everything. This is certainly not something I needed them to do for me, I could have kept struggling and made it work, but it feels like a weight has been lifted from my shoulders. I will continue to hardcore coupon though because I just LIKE saving money. I'm cheap, and proud of it! Lol.

THREE THINGS I'M GRATEFUL FOR TODAY:
1) My parents' generosity
2) The upcoming South Beach challenge to get me back on track
3) All the great clearance I found at Kohls this weekend

Have a happy Tuesday friends! :)

How wonderful your parents are helping you like that. I wish I could do the same for my daughter. Glad you two are starting now and wish you lots of luck.

Very cool Christina!! What a gift!! Perhaps with this weight off your shoulders you can get down to business about bringing your weight where you would like it ... by the end of the semester???!!! Get it ... weight off ... weight off!!

Ouch to yesterday's weigh-in! But, you posted it so that will begin the process of bringing it back down. Good Luck to you and Bailey with SBD!

Sometimes, our parents just drive us nutts. LOL I am sure we do the same to them (now that I have kids, I know) but, we they don't stop being parents, and we don't stop being their kids. Thats just very nice of them to help with school. Good luck on SB, don't push to start tomorrow, start now. Oh! I am pretty cheap too (and very proud of it) -I had some extra savings yesterday that made me think of you... You'd be proud! :)
