I had a very stressful day on Friday. My principal decided to move lots of teachers out of their current grade levels into new ones. ”Lots” of teachers included my best friend Kristen and yours truly. Say hello to a new fifth grade teacher. No, I have never taught fifth grade before. So, with that [...]
So, to say I have been in a funk lately would be quite an understatement. I have been in a major funk and it has lasted a lot longer than funks normally last. I’m not sure if it is the weather, stress, lack of exercise, lack of eating right, or HELL – ALL OF THE [...]
There will be no weekly weigh in today. I’m sorry. I had good intentions to go on Wednesday, knowing I couldn’t go today but stuff happens. In fact, this has pretty much been the week from you-know-where! I have worked EVERYDAY except Monday. That’s not the bad part, in fact, that’s pretty normal (not for [...]
No point in hiding. You will always have to come out eventually and when you do, it won’t be pretty. I spent last week hiding from reality.

“Failing is not in the fall but in the choice not to get up!” To say I have fallen in the past two weeks would be an understatement. I have basically not counted Weight Watcher points and have made some very bad choices. Earlier I posted about not being perfect but this was different from [...]
I first heard about Chobani Greek yogurt from a colleague who would eat it every day at lunch time. She said it was like her dessert. What?!? A yogurt you eat for dessert? I had to try it! The first time I tried it, I thought it was a little thick and not as sweet [...]
Have you ever tried to do something really hard all by yourself and it just doesn’t happen? Then, when you decide to talk to someone and ask for help, it becomes easier and you achieve your goals? This week at my Weight Watcher meeting we talked about having a weight loss buddy. This lead me [...]
What is your destiny? It is waiting for you. The best part is, you get to choose it. It is a CHOICE. I decided two years and almost four months ago that I was NOT going to have the destiny I was headed for. I decide on a daily basis that I WILL continue to [...]
