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).

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...
