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).

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...
