A little disappearing act

Why hello there.  It has been so long and I have missed you!  I have really enjoyed writing on my blog this summer, but the summer is over (sad face) and I have had to put on my working girl pants....

Yes friends, I am a teacher and my days of frolicking in the sun are over.  I have been SO busy trying to get my classroom set and all of the 50,000 other things required of me out of the way.  The scary news is I have yet to write a lesson plan and do not have my act together for Tuesday, because I was caught up in completing all of the paperwork and other fun legal aspects I am required to do as a Special Education teacher. Never fear, I will get my act together!  I am going to spend my Sunday doing just that.  Yayyyy!!! ;)

I did not weigh myself on Wednesday like I was supposed to...for good reason.  I did a little bit LOT of eating and drinking on Tuesday and Wednesday.  Whoops!  The stress of getting myself set up for the year got to me.  I didn't even exercise.  I simply had no energy left by the time I was done with work for the day. By Thursday though I turned it around and started exercising at 5:00 a.m. (yes you read that right) which has really been a great solution.  My goal is to keep it up during the school year.  I thought early morning exercising would really suck, but it was not so bad!

Like a good girl, I weighed myself yesterday morning.  Here are the results:

Current Weight:  159.0

Yay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Somehow I managed to lose more weight and I wasn't even tracking my calories or anything.  How did that happen?? I don't know and I don't care!  I am so happy to be out of the 160s AND down 7.2 pounds!!!!  Whooty!!

I hope to keep up with the blogging, but if I don't make it happen as often....please forgive me!

For now I will leave you with some pics of my classroom.  I still need to add a few things here and there, but I think it is pretty sweet!  Have a great Sunday!
