keep on keepin’ on
picture source I guess I should be honest and tell you that I am not 100% ok. YES, I know what has to be done but this money stress has me…well…stressed. I am focusing on eating good for me foods. I am tracking my food using my new fitbook and while I am not the [...]
not quite what I was planning
**WARNING: This will not be pretty. I may cry, scream or throw things. I apologize but I have to get this off my chest. If I don’t journal this I cannot move on and write the other posts in my head. I am usually so upbeat but the last few days I have been in [...]

State testing is finally OVER!! I miss my students. I was with my juniors but none of my other classes. I miss teaching. State testing sucks!! Rant over!! The one good thing about testing was the extra quiet time! While the kids were testing I had to be quiet and not distract the kids. Anyone [...]

I have told you before but I need to say it again: I have no idea what I am doing! I am not an expert on anything but I know I need fitness in my life. I have tried many activities this past year but I have not really had any sort of consistency. Consistency [...]
