So much has happened since my last blog post! Where do I start? In July 2013 I decided to go back to college. It was my reoccurring dream that I had classes and couldn't find them. I didn't know my locker combination, had papers due and all kinds of other school trauma! It has been my regret that I didn't finish school. So I went back. With 19 hours or CU's I started on my journey to be a teacher. In January 2015 I began student teaching. Wow, that experience is for another blog! lol The best of it was teaching second grade with a sweet friend. I learned so much. I was offered a job in August of 2014 to teach English Language Arts and Reading in 6th grade. I love, love, love my job! It's the best thing, besides my family, I've ever done!
I will spend time talking about my kids, job and life but I really want to talk about my journey with weight loss. In June 2014 I had weight loss surgery. I received the gastric sleeve. Since then I've lost 87 pounds. I have a total weight loss of 112 pounds. I still feel like I have a way to go but the reality is I will be happy with another 20 pounds but would like to lose 53 more.
I go in January to see about a tummy tuck and having my arms done. So this blog is going to be my journey with changing my body. I will share my struggle and my joy! I totally love the woman I am and want to grow every day into a stronger, better, more loving, laughing giving woman.
