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

Last year during a book study at school we were reading The Energy Bus by Jon Gordon. One of our assignments during our study was to pick one word for our year which is also based on a book, My One Word by Mike Ashcraft and Rachel Olsen. Long story short, instead of making a resolution for the New Year. You pick a word. If you go here you can read about that. Basically, here is a simple three step introduction. Step One: Determine the kind of person you want to be. Step Two: Identify the characteristics of that person. Step Three: Pick a word. Last year, I picked the word consistent. I felt that I did a good job being consistent. I started thinking about what word I wanted to use for 2019. I have been thinking for a few weeks. I have still been thinking about the person I want to be this year, and for every year for that matter. I have thought about those characteristics of that person. And today, on the second day of the year, I picked my word. I'm sure if you

Long Time, No See

I am not sure why I started this blog approximately a million years ago other than I enjoyed placing my thoughts together. I also enjoyed feedback from my friends, even though I figured they were just being nice because they are my friends. I know I will never how some great blog. I don't have the time to figure all of that out. I don't have the know how to code and make it all pretty. And I'm ok with that. Hopefully you all are too. I will never be a fashion blogger, or fitness blogger, or any one of importance. And that, too, is ok. I just spent an embarrassing amount of time going back and reading some of my former blog posts. I'm sorry that I subjected you to that. 2011 was a long time ago. I was a 25 year old, single, overweight, third grade teacher. So Allow My To Reintroduce Myself Hi! I'm Megan ! I am now a 32 year old, overweight, first and second grade math teacher. I like to take selfies. See below! I also like doing
