If anyone is reading, how do I delete a post? I had a video deleted and its messing up the whole page :(

Its a New Year!

Just for those who do read this.... which is probably just Angi who checks to see if I do. I plan to start writing again this year. Once we get internet at home it will be easier to keep up. My blog will be more about my marriage and teaching rather than crafts but maybe I will have something cool to share once in awhile.

A note from school today.... teacher says "What is 8-3?" Multiple students: "2,4, NO IT's 3!" Too funny!!!!

New Beginning (hopefully)

Today a preschooler goes "Ms. H you have a big belly".... well that is that. A little completely honest 4 year old. I wanted to explain to her that I knew it was big and I was going to start taking care of that, but I really don't think she would understand.

This leads perfectly to what I already had planned for the night. I talked to a really nice lady that I was connected with in Special Olympics. She was one of the only people I knew that had done Boot Camp. She told me it was hell but worth it. So I looked more into the program.

I will be starting boot camp and another program called Power of 10 in April. Now yes I have to wait until April (because everything for March has started, didn't fit my schedule or full) but I am really excited. I think this will keep me accountable to others and my pocketbook! I did have to pay for it, and whenever money is attached I commit! I will be weighing myself in the morning and probably taking pictures of myself soon in my workout clothes I have now. Then again when the program starts (I hope to lose some weight in one month) and then on my wedding day. Now I don't expect crazy results since I only have a short time, but this is my kickoff to fitness and eating better. Ok, the eating better might not happen all that much until the program starts because we have to follow a food guide and I am horrible at nutrition on my own. I think something is healthy and really its not. I wish insurances covered going to a professional nutritionist, or that I could afford a wonderful cook.... any ideas how to get that to work out for me? ... my best bet is following the food guide when I get it. :)

Here's a link to the programs I will be doing from Fitness Inspired!

I know the ladies husband from living in the dorms in college! Kinda nice to know a connection, but I hope to make others since I am doing this alone. Don't have anyone willing to pay the money to go with me :( But I need to do it!

Fail!

I fail at working out! Enough said. Waking up early did not work and I am slowly getting to where working out at night just isn't working. I really think I need a support group or somewhere to go that will hold me accountable. I was so good at working out 3 years ago when I went with my roommate. I am looking into some options tomorrow and hopefully will get motivated! I only have a short time before the wedding! CRAZY!

ps. not about working out, but I need someone to address some envelopes. Too bad that won't happen. I hate my handwriting!

Working Out

My new goal: to workout 4 times a week without fail! I would like to do more than that, but as you can tell I am a busy girl. I was doing well for awhile but then got sick and really couldn't workout and wasn't doing great anyways. But I have a new plan! I am setting my alarm for 40 min early. I plan to go to bed in most of my workout clothes so I can get up, eat, workout, shower and go to work. We'll see how long this last! If morning doesn't work, afternoons/nights will have to. This morning was suppose to be the start, but really with everything going on I needed the extra sleep as it showed at work that I still didn't have enough :( I wish I had someone closer to keep me committed and motivated(Angi)!

**My other goals: to write Angi more and to post more.

Wedding Hair

When I was home this weekend I was informed that changes needed to be made. (hint last post) My mom starts by: "How stressed are you, I'm not sure if I want to tell you this or not" Well you can't leave something like that. So she continues and I find out that my hairstylist can no longer do anyone's hair for the wedding. I am getting married on one of the biggest wedding days of the year and she cancels now???? (everything has changed for my wedding, its a running joke now) She had a good reason and I will still get my hair cut by her, but I am sad. I didn't even bother calling around to book someone, my sister has a friend that does hair in a salon and she called her and set up new appointments, but we have to be there early. There is a 12 person wedding party coming in after us!!! WOW! The biggest bummer is that we are all going to have to pay a lot more for hair than what my original person charges. :( She is really nice and has never really up'ed her prices since I was little. I am not worried though because where we are going is great and its not more than what I paid for other wedding updo's I have gotten. Just sad more changes have been made.

Time

I wish I had 10 extra hours in each day to sleep, clean, and relax! I hate when things are not predictable. I don't like things being changed, and I like to be prepared. My life in the last year (and almost 1/2) has not been predictable! I feel crazy and stressed. I love wedding planning, except when something changes. I love work, except when something changes and I don't get everything done. This weekend was crazy. I have two jobs, one is teaching the other is direct care. I was at my direct care job when I get a text that my mom is being admitted to the hospital. I am 1 hour from boarding a bus and then two hours from my car (we have bus duty to talk the people we serve home) then another 45 minutes back to where I live. That's a long time, plus the weather was horrible. I hurry pack, fiance prepares fish sticks for dinner (not a favorite) and I am on the road home. What should have been an hour and a half drive takes 2 and 1/2 and finally I am home. She was fine in the long run but I spend the weekend with her to make sure she's okay. Let's just say NOTHING got done this weekend. I really noticed today when I wasn't ready to teach, overly tired and didn't wake up to workout.
