News

Things have felt so crazy and busy lately. To make a long story short - I got into the Leadership Institute with MNCN which I am so thrilled about and want to give a shout out to Nicole for helping me with the application process. I am looking forward to how much I will learn from this training and the opportunities it will provide to improve the work I am doing now and in the future.

I was on channel 9 news on Thursday night and it was kind of funny and embarrassing and cool because it was for the mural project and I think the kids that worked on it will be really excited to know that it got covered. Too bad some A-hole tagged it the day the news crew decided to come. Luckily I was able to get it down.

I've been having night terrors where I see people in my room or weird things flying around and I talked to a sleep specialist who said there is a chance I have sleep apnea or epilepsy. The third possibility he mentioned is that I am just so sleep deprived that when I do sleep it's so intense and moves into the deepest stage so quickly that it overwhelms my little brain. I think that's the most likely cause and a good reminder that I need to slow down a little bit. Literally almost every hour I've had in the past 2 weeks has been accounted for, and my brain is taking it's wrath on me for it.

WW has been okay....I was really good last week, weighed myself early, saw that I gained and went into my whole "Who cares anyway then?!?!" and was bad the rest of the weekend. This week is better, I'm trying to be strategic and plan carefully and drink water and doing the best I can. I also found an old picture of myself and it was a good little reminder of how far I've come and that I need to stay motivated. Check it!




I've never really looked at before and after pictures side by side. It's a good reminder as to why I need to stay on track. The doctors scale said I was 146.6 on the scale with regular clothes on. Still...scary. 6 lbs from my lowest weight. I don't want to be back at that bad feeling place again. I need to work now before I let all this progress slip through my fingers.
