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 fun things like going to musicals, shopping, concerts, and binge watching television.  I also like to pretend I'm important and tell you where I get my clothes.  I post on Instagram like people actually care (you can find me @meggymac).

I have been working out for the last 6 months.  I have lost some weight and dropped some pants sizes.  I have currently not weighed in a month because, well, I didn't feel like it. 

New Year, Same Me

I still don't really know the point of this blog.  But I feel as though, I may tell you that I am trying to improve myself.  This month I have set 4 goals.  They are meeting my step goal, drink 100 oz of water, make my bed, and no spending 5 out of 7 days of the week. 

So just for good measure, I will leave you with some tips on how to drink more water!

  • Get a cute water bottle--because drinking out of a cute bottle is fun!  (I bought two S'well bottles today on sale)
  • Set A Goal-- It always helps to feel like you have accomplished something
  • Remind yourself -- But a sticky note on the fridge reminding you to drink more water
  • Drink water first thing in the morning--I try to drink 20 ounces while I'm getting ready.
  • Keep water close (ex. by your bed at night) -- Just in case you feel lazy, its' already there
  • Drink A Glass Before A Meal -- It will help you get your water in and it will also help fill you up before you eat!
  • Use An App--I use my Fitbit app it makes me feel good to tick it off
  • Make It Yummy-- Squeeze some lemon in your water, add fruit to it (any kind you want).
I hope all of your dreams become reality in 2019 (and you don't write 2018 when you date things for the next three months).

CMA Fest Weekend

I am a big country music fan.  Plus I'm a big fan of live music.  Also I am a huge fan of Music City.  So it's a no brainer that CMA Fest is one of my favorite things on the planet. I feel in love with CMA Fest last year when I went.  It was amazing. This year I wasn't sure I was getting to go.  I was a little bummed. However, by pure accident I ordered tickets for the Opry to see Carrie Underwood on Friday June 7.  I didn't realize that it was CMA Fest weekend until I tried to book a hotel and there were not hotels in Nashville.  Oops. So I booked a hotel in Brentwood and decided to make the most out of my happy mistake!  So Friday, we rolled into down in a ran storm and found our hotel.  We changed clothes and got ready then headed out to the Opry.  We went to Orpy Mills Mall first, I hit up the Vera Bradley Outlet and got some sweet deals. Then we went to the Opry.  It was a great show, I did miss Little Jimmy Dickens...

Miss Megan's Favorite Things

I blogged about some of my favorite things before, but it kind wasn't a good blog and I quit after a few things, so I thought I'd do it again.  If I was rich, or had a super famous blog I'd give something away.  But I am neither rich or a famous blogger, so therefore you can just read about my favorite things and maybe purchase them for yourself.  Trust me, I think they are awesome or I wouldn't be wasting my time telling you about them. Julep Deep Clean  This is my newest find.  I got it in my Julep Maven box (I'll get to that in a second).  This sells for $40.00 on their website . This is an excellent face cleaner.  It cleans all the make up off your face, literally.  It smells a little bit like furniture polish, but I actually kind of like it. Back to the Julep Maven box, if you have 19.99 laying around every month this is a good investment.  You take a short quiz, they tell you what your style profile is.  Every mon...

Jeans

No matter how stores try to candy coat it, there is a certain stigma around the plus size section of stores.  They can call it curvy or misses or whatever, but we all know what it is.  There is an imaginary line in the middle of the store where no one wants to cross.  At least that's how I feel about it.  I'm sure the girls on the "regular" side could careless, or the workers for that matter, but I always feel self conscious when shopping on the side of the store.  Sure, you get used to it and laugh when you're with your skinny friends and say "I'll be over on the big girl side" and saunter on your way to the plus size section.  While you began to search through the racks on your side, you secretly long to be on the other side of the store, where there is double, sometimes triple the selection of clothes.  You find something, take it back to the dressing room to try it on.  It doesn't look right, it's too tight, it's not what you thought ...
