Day One

Good morning, All,

Well, the day has begun and the cat is out of the bag. Two of my classes and a select few of my colleagues know about this project. This both empowers and terrifies me. Now I have "outed" myself as a potential role-model. I can't fail with my students watching. There is no entity more judgmental than a teenager! If I should fail, there is no doubt that they will remind me of it!

That being said, I am pretty optimistic. I am competitive by nature and know that I can do this...again! I just need to get my mind in sync with the goal. After tonight's initial workout with my trainer, I know that I will be able to stay focused. Who wants to waste a good workout?

Mondays will be difficult. I leave the house before the kids get up and won't really see them until it's time to put them to bed. At first this really bothered me. Now, however, I recognize that once I get into the routine of putting myself first and finally loving myself again, whatever limited time I have with my munchkins will be happier. I recognize that I am only my best self when I feel comfortable and confident.

Time for lunch....salad greens, 2oz. of tuna and Archer Farms pomegranate and berry LF dressing; 1/2 Chobani yogurt and an apple! Who needs a salty frozen entree or a heaping PB and J? Ask me in two days and I'll most likely say, "Me!" Oh, well, everything takes time.
