Day 6

I lost 2.2 pounds today.  YEAH!!!!!   I also worked out a full hour to Just Dance 2.  I think I am going to very sore tomorrow.  Now I just need to try and get to bed early.  Why is getting to bed eary so hard????

Day 5

I did not realize it fully but I am really not into online dating at all anymore.  It is a free communication weekend on eharmony and I thought I would at least look but I just did not feel like it so I logged off.  I was a member of eharmony for 1 full year and several months for the couple years before that and no luck.  Not even one date and only a handful of conversations.  The site is too full of memebers that create a profile but never join that the only matches you get are people who cannot do anything about it.  I was a member of other sites over the years and while I met people on those, it was not the quality of people I want to meet.  I was even asked for cash after only one message.  Focusing on myself seems to be working for now so I think I will jsut stick to that.

Day 4 (I think)

I missed a couple days.  It takes a bit to get use to blogging again.  Like it has been the last several months my weight has flucuated and not really changed.  I got tested for allergies this last week and I am finally back on allergy medication which helps me get back on track.  I am unsure about whether I can save the money I need to for this trip.  I am also worried about my job and the Texas Education Budget Crisis.  So far we have been told it will be okay but we are not positive.  Thank God I have multiple certifications.  I am looking for a part time job for this summer because I should be able to make the money in one summer if I can find something.  I started looking at a dating site I use to visit often called doulike.com.  However I am losing interest quickly.  Right now I just feel like I should focus on myself and not finding someone to share my life with.

Day 1

I have decided to start this blog to chronicle my life as I prepare to make a trip to Scotland in 2012. I plan to loose weight, save money, and work on improving my general well-being. I have already given up online dating (which was not working), started seeing a dentist again (I am very afraid of the dentist), got my eyes checked and I will be having my allergies tested to see how things have changed. It is never to late to make a positive change and I am planning to use the next year and half to better my life in every way I can think. Then has a reward and part of my goals I am planning a trip to Scotland.

I have already been working on loosing weight since October when I got a Wii Fit. However I despite working out 1 hour everyday I have hardly lost weight, but I am not giving up because while the weight may not be falling off I feel great, better than I have in a long time. I have been doing even better since I adjusted my sleep patterns, so that I can get to bed early and not be as tired through out the day. I work as a teacher and church babysitter and enjoy both jobs but have been feeling like I am not fully dedicated especially to my teaching job. Part of this plan for a better me has been re-dedicating myself to my career. So far so good. I have gotten ahead on grading and lessons and I am striving to find new ways to teach the material.

Whether I have any followers or not I plan to update this blog daily with my thoughts, dreams, and progress. So to start, I lost .7 pounds, worked out one hour to Just Dance, and then blew all of it by ordering out from Jason's Deli. Well tomorrow it a new day.
