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.

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...

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...

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...
