After reading many different blogs this summer while on "vacation," I decided to create my own. I had one for my classroom and am going to try to continue to do it. I wanted to start a personal blog as well as I go through another year of being a mid twenty-something. There are a few things I want to focus on blogging about:
1. My weight and workouts.
Last summer (2012) I lost about 25 pounds and was down to 150 lbs. All during high school and my first year of college I never put on more than 10 pounds so I was never over 130lbs. That all changed when I stopped playing softball and working out and started drinking and eating fast food all of the time. My sophomore year started my demise. I started going out more and ended up eating that awesome college cuisine of fast food and whatever the vending machine offered in between classes. After graduation from college and I started my first teaching job I was topping out at a whopping 175-180lbs. I wanted to cry. Last summer with the help of Adipex, I lost about 25 pounds in about 3 months. I was down to 150 lbs when school started. Add on coaching softball, being a class sponsor, and no Adipex, and bam! Hello 15-20 lbs. I decided that this summer I had to get my act together. I had started on Weight Watchers towards the end of school and was getting the hang of it until I took 22 students and adults on a week long trip on the east coast and all that went by the wayside. So, I decided that July was the time to hunker down and get my butt back into shape.....the right way! Monday I started back on my Weight Watchers and started doing Crossfit. For anyone who has no idea what Crossfit is google it.....I have survived on week so far. If I can do it anyone can!
2. My adventures in teaching.
I am currently in my third year of teaching and am absolutely loving every minute of it. Ok, Ok, maybe not every minute, but pretty darn close! I like trying new methods, new activities, and continuously learning about education. I am currently the 9-12 Social Studies teacher at a small school in NW Missouri. I teach 8 different subjects a day and for the most part keep it together. I am always fascinated with new ideas, so if you have any please share!
3. My miscellaneous rants, adventures, and musings.
My friends are some of the greatest around. We love to go to sporting events, out for the evenings, concerts, and whatever any other activity that sounds like more fun than sitting at home. I recently completed the Dave Ramsey Financial Peace University and am trying to implement his principles. I create a budget every month, I am having a hard time sticking to it, but I am trying. I love shopping so that makes it doubly hard to stick to a budget. I have never really been much of a girly-girl but am trying to pay more attention to fashion and beauty products. So again, if any of you have suggestions let me know. I would like to share some of my favorite products and purchases I have made.
I think that about sums it up for me this evening. I am looking forward to beginning to blog and making it more of a habit. I can't wait to start writing!
