I am now a retired art teacher. I have gone forward and backward in my weight loss journey, but I have not given up. I want to take control of my health so I can enjoy my latter years to the fullest. I have put myself to the side for way too long.

Favorite Quote:
DIRECTION - NOT INTENTION - DETERMINES DESTINATION.

I can have lots of good intentions, but if I don't take time to actually follow a direction, those intentions will get me nowhere. ...

    Hello! Congratulations getting a Fitbit. Send me a friend request if you want to be included in the Bingo! Each Tile has a value and as you complete it you flip that tile till you have completed the pattern. There’s ways to short cut as well.

    Thanks. All my friends who are still teaching are miserable. I would have still been teaching if circumstances would have allowed but with the inept administration in our district I realized I was fighting a losing battle for all the Special Education students. The turn over in Special Ed teachers was heart breaking since so many thought it was an easier job than teaching a whole class. I love my part time job working for the Diocese in the Pontifical Missions Office, it is only 18 hours a week but it keeps me busy.
    Hope you have a wonderful day.

    Love the cleaning schedule. I’ll need to tweak it a bit but going to print it out and start on Monday. Having structure always helps me and a clean home always makes me smile. Have a great weekend.
