Feburary 1, 2023!!!

Is it me or is the year already flying by?!?!

I CANNOT believe it's Feb. 1st already and I didn't even blog in January! Oh my goodness! I'm slacking in a big way!

Well, so much has happened since I last blogged... 

*I left the VA Medical Center 12/2/2022 and started a job at Danville Independent Schools - same schedule as my son, so both of us a MUCH HAPPIER! No more commuting/long drive hours, wear and tear on the car AND me, able to be Mama to my boy, and doing what I actually love - helping students learn and be successful!

*I already received a "promotion" at work - I started off in the cafeteria in Dec and at the end of January, was moved into the classroom as an Instructional Aide! 

*The District Superindendent asked if I would be interested in the Equity Coordinator/Officer position that is going to be opening up in May/June time frame. I would FINALLY be able to get off of SSDI, possibly buy a house, get out of debt, and breathe financially! What a great opportunity! I'll keep you posted on that position.

*I started with a new coach! In my first week with her, I've lost 6.4 lbs and 2 1/2"! Now I realize that a lot of that weight and inches are water, but it's off my body! My mindset is focused, I've been consistent with my workouts, staying on my plan, and I feel so much more happier! I feel at peace and not under so much pressure. I'm back to enjoying the process and can really see me doing my first body building show w/in a couple of years vs 4-5 yrs from now. HOW EXCITING IS THAT???!!! I just need to stay focused and get after it, each and every workout and meal.  I read that a gal started her journey and for 2-3 years was disciplined and focused that she went from her very 1st show to PRO CARD in 17 DAYS!!!! That's what I want to do! I'm sure that it won't be that quickly, but I want to set goals for myself to possibly meet or beat that! 

*I am finally feeling more like myself than I have in a VERY long time! It feels good to get back to being my true self - not in a major funk/depression.


WE CAN DO THIS TOGETHER!!! Leave a comment below to let me know you were here! I'd love to hear from you and see how I can encourage you on whatever journey you are on! :)
