Hi, I'm Apple....
And I'm thinking I'm officially a STACr....okay, so there is no thinking, I am and I've posted here a few times in the past within the posts....but havent had the nerve to just post a single post by my big-kid self. Please bare with me
I've looked back over the year and have found myself 20 pounds less than when I started. Yeah, it could have, should have, and might have been less if I had worked harder, stayed the course, and stopped blaming everything else but me.
My excuses:
I'm almost done with getting my teaching creditials, so that's homework, research, and teaching to contend with
I have a family to take care of, and recently a broken arm of one child who is sporting a cast and pins in her arm
We only have one income, and barely see hubby during the week and pray for enough funds to pay for gas, housing, food, and stuff...
I give 120% on just about everything I do in school and with my family, but....me.
This year I so wanted it to be the year that I finish what I started with losing weight and making my goal. The beginning of the year started off strong and slowly came to a screetching halt when I had to balance everything mentioned above and keep my nose above water over the past few weeks.
I pretty much had the mental mind frame that if I had one more last minute homework assignment given to me that I would seriously run down the road with my hair standing up on end wearing a hospital gown and pink fuzzy slippers. And let me tell ya, I would do it, too!!!
I've gotten a LOT of positive vibes through some awesome success stories everyone's shared over the past year and have even gotten teary eyed over the posts that I can relate to with feeling like a failure. I've come to the conclusion that we're not failures...we're just trying to figure out life along with making changes. That sounds good, right?
So........I'm stepping out of my comfort zone to humbly asking for a smidgin of encouragement to help get through the next 9 months of the year.
Thanks a bunch in advance!!
