Excuse Me While I Have A Moment.

Over the last few weeks I have been pretty happy.  Aside for a few days last week (and that feeling went away when I put on my pants that were no longer tight), I have been feeling pretty awesome about myself and feeling pretty accomplished.  I have been working my tail off and eating right and loving what I am seeing and how I'm feeling.  I have had several people over this time tell me that I am a motivator and an inspiration, which I find completely crazy.  I like hearing, it just makes me want it more, because I feel like I'm letting people down if I don't make it to the gym one day or if I eat a cookie.

There have been several people that have been a motivation for me.  Mainly Lindsey.  We started this journey together, and while we don't make it to the gym together very often we still keep in good contact to see how the other one is doing.

Another is Canesa.  She has just started on her journey to a healthier 2013 and is doing great.  She keeps me in check at school.

And then there's my BFF Katie that told me the other day that she is not eating cake or cookies or sweets because I am not.  She is such a great support system.

I am very thankful for these girls.

However, today I am not feeling very inspirational or motivational.  Today I am feeling down in the dumps.

I played tennis on a team a few months ago.  In my second match on one of the last points I turned my foot a wrong way or something and pulled or twisted something in my arch.  It hasn't been bothering me too bad.  I got inserts for my new running shoes and everything is fine....until I take the shoes off.  Looks like a doctors visit is coming up for me.

Also, I've had this bum knee for as long as I can remember.  It pretty much limits me from doing the bikes, elliptical or anything that's not a treadmill.  Treadmills can be boring.  It also prevents me from lifting much weight with my legs on my circuit days.  I haven't felt a lot of pain, until this week, especially today.  I had plans of doing zumba today, but I was hurting so bad, I came home after the gym, took a bath and put an icy hot patch on my knee.  I have been to the doctor several times for my knee, there is nothing they can do, so they say.  It boggles my brain that they can treat cancer and so many other things yet I can't be pain free. 

I figure once I lose some more weight these pains will go away, however it is very discouraging when you are trying, but it hurts so bad you want to quit.

I will not quit.  I will not give up.  I will work through this pain.

New Year... New Me

First off, I am typing this on my iPad and its terrible.  My desktop is being a punk and my laptop is too. Anyways.... One year ago today I started going to the gym. It has been 365 days of exercising, clean eating, and struggling. I have put my healthy habits aside for the holidays. I decided that I had deprived myself all year and I wasn't going to do that during the holidays. I said that I knew I would gain weight, and I'd be ok with it as long as it was less an 10 pounds. I went to the gym for the first time in a while today. I weighed before I got started. I gained weight. It was less than ten pounds, but I was not ok with it. I worked hard to get that weight off and carelessly put it back on. I did realize that I probably would have but on that weight anyway drying the holidays (you know like if I didn't lose the weight) and it would be a lot worse. I don't believe in Resolutions. They always fall apart.  I believe in goals. I do have goals for 2014. H...

Hello, It's me!

Hey!  Remember me?  It's just been a year or two.  I guess I felt like I ran out of things to say.  Or maybe I thought I wasn't interesting.  Then I realized tonight, I missed typing my feelings for the world (or the three people that read my thoughts). Let's see, what has happened.... Nothing interesting I'm sure. I'm 30, that's new. I'm single, that's not. I'm brunette again, but I guess the blog word didn't see the blonde.  I gained all the weight I lost back, so there's that. I have been struggling lately, with just about everything.  Mostly, I am on the single struggle bus.  I have a bus pass and keep chugging along. I guess at this time of year it gets worse; everyone is getting engaged, announcing the are expecting, or starting new relationships.  And while I can rejoice with my friends in their seasons of happiness, I can't help but mourn my season of sadness.  Sometimes the season seems to drag on. I guess wh...

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...
