Been awhile! School just sucks the life out of me. I let it consume me. I always say I'm not going to let it happen and then it does. Give up the things I love, the things that make me happiest. I grow frustrated and tired, turning to chocolate and then whining. Yep, that's me as a teacher. Pathetic, right? Being a teacher should not define me.
It's a new year, 2013, and time for those resolutions. I'm not much on resolutions, but I will say that I've been working since Christmas break started to refocus and reboot my lifestyle and priorities. I want to come home from work and leave the stress and drama behind. I want to workout FOR ME, enjoy my family, cook a healthy meal and get some much needed sleep. I want those things and deserve them. No more being a slave to my career. I'm more than that and worth more than that.
Now that I've made my bold declaration, time an update. I quite roller derby. I felt I didn't have the time as I was staying up at the school late and then coming home and working some more. I brushed my priorities and things I loved to the side, as you see. But I don't regret it much as, although I miss it, because my body was taking a beating. I don't want to feel old before I am! And I learned so much about strength and challenge through derby. Yep, fond memories made.
What is the new year ringing in? A rededication to my health and fitness, primarily. I started a 90 day wellness challenge that focuses on clean eating and habit-forming. It's going to be tough, but I can do it! I've also ordered one of the newest Beachbody workouts... Les Mills Combat! I'm dying for it to show up on my doorstep!!! I'm also focusing more on my business as I know it can change the quality of my life and that of my family in general.
So... I declare this a system reboot! Starting fresh because I deserve it!
