What the WHAT? My last post on here was in May. M.A.Y! *hangs head in shame. How in the world can I even call myself a blogger? Oh wait. I DON'T!!!! I'm super good at it for a while, and then the newness wears off, and I'm like, "Eh."
I speak truth.
Speaking of truth, I'm soooooo not ready to head back to school. This will be my 9th year in the life skill classroom. I'm going to be honest, because like I said in paragraph one...
I speak truth.
I ALMOST put in my notice (SURPRISE to the teacher that I work for if you're reading this which you're probably not because only one person reads this and it's my son because he feels sorry for me and what kind of teacher wants to read a run on sentence whatever?) and was going to have this last school year be my "farewell tour." Something told me to stick it out, so we'll see what the next few months bring.
Which leads me to, sticking it out.
This is a blog about my journey. My weight loss journey. Remember,
I speak truth.
IT'S FRIGGIN HARD, YO! But guess what? I'm sticking it out. This whole maintenance stuff though is not for sissy pants.
When I went back to school last Fall, I was down 50 pounds. I actually had someone ask me, "Are you losing weight?" When I replied that I was trying, this person actually said to me, "Don't lose weight. I don't want to be the fattest person at North Park."
I speak truth.
That happened.
And it was confirmed to me by this comment that I was the fattest. And because of that, I continued to lose weight. I mean... who in the hell are they to tell me not to try and become a better version of myself? Fast Forward to the end of May. At this point, I had lost 87 pounds. I was then given some "loving" advice to "Try not to eat everything in sight while you're on summer vacation."
I speak truth.
I was a little wigged out by this comment so I vowed to make this the summer of fun.
June: We would be outside A LOT! Little Red bike ride, Boating, Bear Lake, Hiking, More Biking, Walking, Jogging, Wogging, Camping, Fishing, all equals staying active, and out of the kitchen, thus not eating everything in sight. AND...still at weight watcher goal.
July: Family reunion, Abscess tooth, Root canal, Patriarchal Blessing, Cruise in, Fireworks, Baseball, Swimming, Biking, Hiking, Softball, Basketball camp, Brother in laws sudden death, viewing, and memorial. Lady Aggie clinic. Still at goal.
August: Husbands Birthday, Bear Lake, Baseball, Biking, Hiking, My birthday, School shopping, Camping, Swimming, River floating, Theatre, Car purchasing, Memory making and STILL AT GOAL!!!!
So ya, It's hard. And as bad as I don't want to go back to school, I kinda wanna "stick it to the man" and show that life can be hard, and you can be out of a routine, but this whole #myforeverjourney thing is possible.
Truth? I'm winning!
