I was feelin bad...I was feelin mighty low...until...

So I was feeling a little down about not being able to stay out of the 150s. My goal is first 140lbs and then 130lbs. Anyhoo, yesterday I pulled this blog up for a friend to show her something and I ran across this post. Somehow, it had slipped my mind that I used to be 180lbs!!! I'm feeling pretty good about myself right now. I'm not at my goal, BUT I can say that I haven't gone back to 180 at any point during this 3 year (?) journey. I know what doesn't sound like a lot, but it means something to me.

Sometimes the health gods are merciful and will give you a little encouragement that you weren't even looking for and didn't even fully realize you needed.

Btw, I ate 4 oranges in one sitting and I felt GREAT!!! That would technically be considered a mono meal. I think I'm falling in love with those. What is my family going to eat? Every man and child for themselves perhaps? lol

366

I have an idea. Don't get to excited, because I have a lot of random ideas, but I think this is a good one. Again, don't get excited because I tend to be pretty flighty and inconsistent. Okay, here's the idea. Are you ready? You sure? Now, let's remember that this is ONLY an idea.

Insert really dramatic drum roll here...

I want to document the year starting with January 1. I am going to start changing my life on January 1. During the coming year I will be making major lifestyle changes, homeschooling full time, consistently teaching hair classes, starting a Rite of Passage program for girls, and considering one for women. My goal is to document all of it to keep myself accountable! I am so excited about the things I have planned. I'm going to be really busy, but hopefully really happy. I am a teacher more than anything else and that is what makes me happy and lawd knows I need some happiness right now. What say you?

Btw 366 because 2012 is a leap year.
