Step Away From The Cookies

So, it's been a struggle this past week. Mainly because it's that magical time of year again.....GIRL SCOUT COOKIES! They are the devil in disguise. I have 2 Girl Scouts in my classroom this year. So I ordered 2 boxes from both of them. Yes, I know this wasn't the best idea I ever had. Yes, I was dieting and exercising when I ordered four boxes of cookies, but I had willpower, you see, and I was not going to eat them. Well, that changed when the boxes came in. I didn't eat the whole sleeve of 16 cookies, that has 640 calories, but I did eat 8. EIGHT COOKIES! I felt like CRAP after eating cookies. So I gave them to my kids for snack and gave another box to my mom to hide. The other two boxes are hanging out at school. So, now I understand, no matter how many times I saw it....I cannot turn down a Thin Mint.


These are the DEVIL. The DEVIL I tell you. I think they have Crack in them

I spent two hours at the gym last night. I really enjoy watching my progress. I walked for a long butt time on the treadmill yesterday. Which, I walk 65 minutes a lot of the time so it's nothing new. However, I walked a long way. Over 4.5 miles. Whoa!! That just sounds like a lot. I just can't believe that when I started my goal was a mile, then the first time I did 3 miles I was excited. Then when I hit 3.7 miles I couldn't believe it. Then I got to 4.21. Now, this. WOW!


Killed it

I am now at 22 pounds gone. I am excited to check how many inches are gone at the end of the week.

Have a great night

Nice Reminder!

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
