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!

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 unha...

Better

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 th...

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...
