I can’t believe that an entire school year has almost gone by! It’s like the last 8 months are just a huge blur. I haven’t effectively lost any weight this entire year but I have maintained my 20 lb loss from last summer. I am excited to say that when the school year is over I will not be going back to work full time, and I will also be done with my own classes (graduating with an M.Ed in May! ) This will give me the time to recommit to exercising and tracking points and focus on all the other little projects I’ve not been able to get to for a long time. I’m hoping to lose another 20lbs this summer which will put me almost at goal. (I’m also trying to talk hubby into another Hawaii vacation which is good motivation for sticking to plan )

Lately, I’ve been just trying to stay afloat which is why my blog has been somewhat neglected. I did find myself home earlier than normal this afternoon. Even though I had a million things to do, I decided to grind some wheat and make my own whole wheat bread. I’ve tried this a few times before. It has yet to come out perfectly, but it’s still edible and smells great when its cooking. I haven’t actually worked out the points for it. I used 100% whole wheat flour plus the recipe calls for a oats, a little molasses and shortening. It’s whole grain so it can’t be too bad right? (Assuming I only have a piece or two and not half a loaf in one sittting.)
