Here it is, folks!  My classroom reveal for 2019.  I missed posting last year.  It’s a long story which boils down to – my classroom flooded with sewage in September 2017 and I taught in an alternative classroom all year.  Even though I was able to move back in in the late Spring in preparation to start 2018, there were still issues and minor fixes that needed to be made so my room wasn’t finished until mid-September.  By then, it was past Classroom Reveal Season so I didn’t bother. So, here we are.  Year 2 in my renovated room.  If you are follower of previous classroom reveal posts (here’s ..read more

Favorite Weight-Loss Journey Resources

Since putting it out there and since I wear my journey on my body, I frequently get asked about what tools and resources I use for working on weight-loss.   Here are some of my favs: I’ve talked about this app multiple times in previous posts. It has been such a help with the tracking calories portion of this journey.  I have also started tracking macros (both as percentages of daily food intake and overall grams) BUT I’m not strict about it.  I mostly use that part of tracking to stay mindful with my choices.  The app is not just for tracking food though.  I also use it to track my water sin ..read more

I’ll start by saying I may have way too much time for contemplation on my hands which is somewhat ironic because this has been the busiest summer in a while.  My life for the past several months has been almost consumed with this weight-loss journey so it makes sense that my brain goes there. Disclaimer:  I’m not a scientist.  I’m not a health expert.  I’m not an anthropologist.  I’m just a girl with a blog and a head full of thoughts. So many people ask me regularly how I lost/am losing the weight.  In fact, it was recently brought to my attention that people who will remain nameless have be ..read more

June Update and Weightloss Tracker

June was a busy month for not working full-time.  Ha!  I definitely could get used to not working full-time if I didn’t need, you know, the money.  I logged 44 hours of exercise.  Crazy, I know but it felt good (for the most part).  I started a new activity called Aqua Fit at the gym (hence the incorrectly worn swim cap).  I did figure out how to correctly wear the cap…eventually and have since switched to one specifically for long hair which has helped immensely.  I like Aqua Fit because of the low impact and low stress.  It’s mostly old ladies who seemingly don’t care and flaunt what they ha ..read more

Monthly Macro and Exercise Tracker

The personal trainer keeps asking what I’m eating and how much I’m exercising and, although I have this information in the LoseIt App and Activity App, it doesn’t give a month or year view.   Again, since I love data, I decided to remedy that so when someone asks, I’m ready with the information. I fasted this past Saturday so my calorie count was super low but you can get an idea of how to fill it out.  As I mentioned in a previous post, the LoseIt App tracks the macros for you as well as calories.  The idea is to create a caloric deficit.  3500 calories = 1 pound. I also did a monthly versi ..read more

What I Did This School Year – A Year for Me

I didn’t know a year ago that I’d be going on a journey this school year.  In fact, I had worked it out with my boss that I would step back with my duties and clubs so that I could pursue other personal goals because I was legitimately on the fast track to burn out.  Little did I know what those personal goals would end up being and where they’d take me. I had recently started playing piano professionally again and had returned to working as a church pianist.  I’d long wanted to go back to school to pursue a master’s degree (that hasn’t panned out…yet…due to the upcoming story). One of my ..read more
