Little Bit Of Life

My first month of diet and exercise, or umm "lifestyle change", is over. I logged a total of 25 days at the gym, and 2 zumba classes. I ate a lot of chicken and fish. I lost a total of 13.2 pounds. I am proud of myself and the results I am seeing.

I would be lying if I said it was easy and I didn't want to to quit everyday. Especially when I would get on the scale and see no weightloss and I couldn't understand why. I was doing everything right and it wasn't showing. People would tell me they could really tell I was losing, and it would just make me angry, however I would smile and say thanks instead of telling them to quit trying to make me feel better.

However, I can tell that I am losing weight. I look in the mirror and sometimes I actually don't feel fat, not that I feel skinny, I just don't feel fat. And today, at church when someone said "You're melting away" it made me feel good, and not angry.

I am liking this person I am becoming....

This Morning Before Church

In other news..... I will be going to see my favorite singer, Gary Allan, in my favorite city Nashville, the weekend after my birthday with my best friend Katie. And she so nicely told me that it was my birthday presnt from her. Is that a great best friend or what? I am going to make a sign, I'm determined to meet him.

Also, there's only 34 more days until Laken and I get to see Lady Gaga. And after the post and pictures from two of my facebook friends who saw her last night in St. Louis I CAN'T WAIT!!!

Hope you all have a great Super Bowl Sunday.

Let's get some things straight

First thing's first, don't think I will type something every day, I won't. Secondly, apparently some folks think I am not happy. That is totally not the case. I know I did at one point in my post last night refer to this point in my life as a "season of sadness". I did not mean necessarily mean I am sad and you should feel sorry for me (or offer up your advice on finding a man). This year has sucked. And it has nothing to do with a man. I am content as I am. It took me 30 years to like myself and the person I am and I will not start feeling sorry for myself again. Yes, there are times it would be nice to have a man. It would be nice to have a relationship, someone to spend time with, and someone to share life with. However, I know what I want. I know what I don't. And I know what I will not settle for. I will not settle for less than what I want or less than what I deserve. I would rather be alone and unhappy than in a relationship and mi

So Are You A Fly Strip For Dysfunctional Men?

I think back to the Fourth of July weekend of this year. Allison and I went to the lake with Britni and her family. As we were living Greers Ferry we stopped at Large Mouth Pizza. Almost right about the table we were sitting at was fly paper. You know the sticky strip of paper flies get caught in? I now know more than I probably should about them fly paper. You pull this sticky paper out of a little canister and it hangs from the ceiling. There this sticky stuff that will stay sticky despite exposure to the air and whatnot. There's this stuff on there that attracts the flies and once they touch they paper, they're stuck. There's also poison on the strip that kills the fly, but that doesn't really work for the analogy I'm about to use. I'm not really sure how I find the guys I do. But if they have a tick, bad habit, disorder, something like that I will find them, or well they will find me. Apparently I'm like fly paper. I apparently attract t

Link Up

Finish The Sentence With Jake & Holly Hey! I've never done a link up before but I thought, why not. My page sucks and I'm almost embarrassed to link up and have some really cool "professional" type bloggers look at it, but oh well. Make fun if you want, I'm a stressed out teacher, that hasn't even had time to blog in ages. Anyways I read these link up things all the time, always wanted to join in the fun. This one looked fun...so here it goes. I hope I don't suck. BTW, I'm such I loser I don't know how to link up right, sorry I'm a failure My happy place... Walking down Broadway in Nashville, TN. I love all the live music you can hear from every honky tonk. Or at a musical.... Or at a live concert... Or the beach... Pretty much if you get my out of the house or work I'm friggin' happy. Whatever happened to... Andrew Keegan. I may google that later. (and yes the Full House song popped in my head too)
