I've been MIA
I haven't posted since March and now it is May. Yes, I have been MIA. Why? Because I quit. I did. I stopped trying to lose weight and starting eating like I didn't care (and didn't). Why did I quit? Because I was too stressed to add weight loss to the mix. Things at work were terrible. The school I work at is closing, and we are moving to a middle school a few blocks away changing to a K-8 school. As a media specialist, I didn't know if they would have 2 media specialists or not. There was a lot of chaos, to the point I even went and got a new education endorsement in music k-12. I have finally gotten the news that I will be at the middle school, the other media specialist will be moved to a new school, and I will be k-8. I also found out that I will not have to teach so many classes and will get to be in the media (and not stuck in a computer lab). It was great news, so my stress is back to a manageable level. The bad news is I am a stress eater, and have climbed back to 199 after being at 193. So, I've got some work to do to get back to where I was. I'm on day 1 of getting back on track. I think this time around I need to get into my mind that I really will not lose any weight unless I add activity, i.e. exercise. I can't do that until June. I know this about myself. When I am out of school, I can do it. Right now I am choosing not to spend my time doing it. Yes, I could make the time, but for now, I am choosing to spend it with the boys and when I have more free time in the summer with not being in school, then I'll do it. So, for now, I am really focusing on eating more healthy. I want to "feel" better. Of course I want to look better, but I really want to feel better, and I do feel better when I eat healthier.
