Science Teacher Era

 

Hello there my bloggy friends!  

We are now in my Science Teacher Era!

I am officially a teacher per my county AND the state of Florida! I officially started this past Monday on 1/12/26. My first teacher check will be 1/30/26. My pay will be prorated and unfortunately I will not get summer pay. Of course this opens up much more on my shoulders so I am trying to deal with my feelings regarding this. Things that I will now have to deal with that before I could hide my head in the sand. Like formal and informal observations and official lesson plans. I'm not stressing though.  Right now this second because it is a THREE day weekend and I am go grateful for that.

I met up with a fellow teacher for lunch of sushi at a decently priced place and he ended up paying for me so that was nice. He said it was his gift to me for getting my teaching license. I'm a cheap date though because the special is 3 rolls for $13.50 plus my diet coke. Haha! 

I'm so tired and will be going to sleep soon. I have been partially sick since last weekend. Partially sick is a odd thing to say but I don't know how else to say it. I'm having the mucus and wheezing and the blowing out green but it is only effecting me like 25%. I can function and move on like normal and I don't feel like I got hit by a truck. It's almost like it is running in a tab in the background. 

I am still going strong with my 156 days of moving my body at least 3 times a week. Today is the 17th and I am at 10 of 156 days. I even left my comfort zone and went to the group fitness class that is hosted at the school twice a week. It is a combo if step aerobics and HIT on the fitness machines. My feet were having a hard time with the stepping but I just marched in place next to my step if I could not grasp the motion. I am horrible at coordination and trying to follow fitness videos. At the end the floor part is some ab work and then yoga. My abs are complete garbage and I could barely do anything. My arms were the most sore right after from the motions when stepping. I didn't wake up sore but by the next evening I could feel it in my abs. It wasn't just the lower ones either. It was all upper abs that I could feel a twinge in. 

I wasn't sure how my weigh in was going to get this morning but it went really well! I am happy to report that I am down 8 lbs.from the most recent "highest" weight I have logged. I haven't tracked that much this week but I have kept my calories somewhat OK. There was a day where they were higher when I had Zaxby's at a collaboration meeting. I still kept with the diet coke though and I only got a 3 count rather than a 5 count like I could have. Basically that one high day did not derail me from my path. 

I hope to keep this momentum train zipping along!
