Mid-February Round Up


Before going to see Mary Poppins.  I was down 16.5 pounds here and feeling pretty awesome about myself.


 I don't have a clever title, it happens. So, this is just a "round-up" of everything I want to say.  All jumbled together....annnnnnd go......

Diet/Exercise Life

Even though I didn't want to, I got on the scale at the gym yesterday (I like the gym scale, it weighs me 3 pounds less than my home scale :) ).  After my fat girl weekend fast food dining this weekend I was scared to get on the scale.  I closed my eyes, held my breath, and stood REEEEAAALLLLLYYY still..... and..... I LOST A POUND!!  

I know a pound doesn't sound like much, but I will celebrate EVERY pound and not be ashamed of it.  And this one pound, just shows how far I am going.  I ate a lot and still managed to shed a pound.  For a total of 17.4 pounds.  HOLY MOLY!  That's almost 20.  So that means I'm almost halfway to my first goal.

Annnnd....I'm about to sign up for my first walk/run.  It's only a two miler but still, it will be something to check off my list.   
Forgive the "cuss" word, but this gets me through my workouts.




Life

I found out today the Lady Gaga concert I have been looking forward to since October has been cancelled.  I am one sad, sad, sad girl.  I mean, I know stuff happens, but it still makes me sad.  Maybe when I get the refund for what I paid for those tickets I will be in a better mood about.  Laken and I are still going to Nashville since we already booked the hotel.  I guess now I'll just look forward to Gary Allan.

I had mentioned that my awesome best friend, Katie, was going with me to see Gary Allan, right?  Well this crazy girl is treating me to the concert for my birthday.  She also sent me these flowers today.

Isn't that sweet?  It says "Thanks for being a wonderful best friend and partner in crime".  That sure brightened my crappy day.  I debated for a good ten minutes on taking them home or leaving them at school.  Leaving them at school ultimately won.  I thought this would make me feel better when I don't get any flowers tomorrow :).  Which brings me to my next point.....

Love Life

There may be something brewing here.  There may not be something brewing here.  Time shall tell.
Don't ask.  I don't kiss and tell, unless you're in my book club :).  But, I still don't think I will be getting any flowers tomorrow.

 

Happy Valentine's Day People!

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...
