It's been a few days but.. I've got news!!

I'm still here and doing well!

It's been a busy weekend and beginning of the week. But I've kept up with exercising and eating right. It's that awful time and the month, so hopefully I'm not retaining or gaining too much. Oh!! I started week 4 today of the Couch 2 5k. Um damn! Run for 5 minutes??!! But I did it!! Wanna know what I did after the first 5 minute run? You guessed it!! Yes, I'm so the drama.. I shed a tear or two. You don't understand... Run for 5 whole minutes! And I did it. It was an awesome sense of accomplishment. Not only that, it was getting dark and cold outside and I was the only one on the track. I had a pretty full day and almost didn't go for that run. I'm glad I did!

More news...
I stopped teaching (elementary school) last year to pursue a dream of mine... to get my doctorate in clinical psychology. It was a hard program.. and I only completed one semester. I rocked my grades though! I finished the semester with two A's and two B's. But it was a hard semester. I worked so hard and had no free time. And it just didnt fit into our goals for ourselves (mine and my husband's). I want to start a family and not have to worry (financially) and school interferes with that. I couldn't fathom having a child in that stressful environment. So I made the really tough decision to stop school and go back to teaching. Easier said than done.. I could not for the life of me, get a job these past two months. Until today!!! Wahoo!!!! I got a job!!! I start on Monday! I'm so excited. I don't regret stopping my doctorate program. It just wasn't the right time. And that's how I like to live... No regrets!

Have a great week all! I'm heading to Florida for the rest of the week, so if I'm not around here... you know why.. Toodles!!!
