Month Two In The Books

I started going to the gym on January 3. It was a chore and there were many other things I would rather do. Most of those things included eating chocolate and drinking milkshakes. However, I knew that I needed to change. I did not like what I saw when I looked in the mirror and I did not like the way I felt. So, I went to the gym even thought I would have rather sat on my butt, ate chocolate and done nothing.

After a while, it started to become fun. I started looking forward to it.

In a month I lost 13.2 pounds. I was amazed.

The thing that has amazed me more than anything else is what I can do now. I can run, not far but I couldn't even run a little bit before. And I love going to the gym now. I even had a breakdown last week. After getting a cortisone shot in my foot and it wasn't getting any better I was beyond upset. All I could think about was how much I enjoyed running and how I could do they one thing I have come to love because it hurt so bad.

However, today I started Women Can Run. And I did it pain free. I was so worried. And I was worried it would be hard and I couldn't do it. And I did. I am so proud of myself. It's amazing what you can do when you set your mind to it.

And the weigh in for my official two months...........

I HAVE LOST 25 POUNDS !!

15 more to go until my goal of 40 before May 11. I know that I am getting to the top of the hill, but I know it's not going to be an easy way down. I am excited for the changes I am seeing in myself and can't wait to see more!

In other news I submitted my portfolio for review. I must make an 80% to get to do my internship course and graduate. I would like us all to collectively cross our fingers.

And yes the picture below is a iPhone screen shot, I'm cool like that.
Have a great night!


The difference I see in my face makes me happy

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)

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

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
