Got off track
Nov 20, 2012
Hello, everyone it is has been awhile since I have posted anything. I went through a rough patch, but by the grace of God I came through. I graduated last December with my masters in Education and Principal certification. Unfortunately, I have not been able to find a job in administration. I am thankful to still have my teaching positions. I was extremely unhappy last year (school year) and of course my eating got the best of me. I regained 20lbs. I was not where I wanted to be professionally or personally and I just stopped caring. I prayed to God for guidance and direction and when I started to listen things begin to become clearer.
I restarted the prayer group at work and that has helped me stay positive about where I am professionally. My department is expanding next year; something I have been working towards for 6 years. I am returning to school in the Spring to work on a master degree in Criminal Justice. My ultimate educational goal is to get a doctoral degree or a law degree.
Personally, I am looking into foster/adoption. I have a strong desire to be a mother and I have been unlucky in love. I have never been one to allow my goals to be dependent on someone else. So I am continuing on with my goal of motherhood alone. If love finds me along the way, then so be it.
I find that now that I have more clarity in the path my life is going that I have more control over my health. I have started exercising again and I am keeping up with what i am eating. I do not want to ruin the gift (pouch) I have been blessed with. Today I am fasting. Having protein shakes. I want to get closer to God and I want to get into better tune with my pouch. I choose today because it will be a challenge not to eat as I cook for the holiday. I will restrict myself to the little spoon to taste for seasonings; not the grazing I normally do. It will take much prayer and discipline. But I am going to lose this 15 lbs (already lost 5 of the 20 regained) and then continue on to my goal.
