Month Two In The Books



I started going to the gym on January 3.  It was a chore and there were many other things I would rather do.  Most of those things included eating chocolate and drinking milkshakes.  However, I knew that I needed to change.  I did not like what I saw when I looked in the mirror and I did not like the way I felt.  So, I went to the gym even thought I would have rather sat on my butt, ate chocolate and done nothing.

After a while, it started to become fun.  I started looking forward to it.

In a month I lost 13.2 pounds.  I was amazed.

The thing that has amazed me more than anything else is what I can do now.  I can run, not far but I couldn't even run a little bit before. And I love going to the gym now.  I even had a breakdown last week.  After getting a cortisone shot in my foot and it wasn't getting any better I was beyond upset.  All I could think about was how much I enjoyed running and how I could do they one thing I have come to love because it hurt so bad.

However, today I started Women Can Run.  And I did it pain free.  I was so worried.  And I was worried it would be hard and I couldn't do it.  And I did.  I am so proud of myself.  It's amazing what you can do when you set your mind to it.

And the weigh in for my official two months...........  

I HAVE LOST 25 POUNDS !!  

15 more to go until my goal of 40 before May 11.  I know that I am getting to the top of the hill, but I know it's not going to be an easy way down.  I am excited for the changes I am seeing in myself and can't wait to see more!






In other news I submitted my portfolio for review.  I must make an 80% to get to do my internship course and graduate.  I would like us all to collectively cross our fingers.  

And yes the picture below is a iPhone screen shot, I'm cool like that.
 Have a great night!
The difference I see in my face makes me happy

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...
