A Bit About Myself



I started this blog in order to document my trip to Scotland
but shortly after starting the blog I lost my job in a reduction in force.
This blog then served to keep me sane during my 1+ year of unemployment.
I have had a job since August, which I have enjoyed very much but I have missed blogging,
so it is time to start up again.

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.
