Changes in 2015

It is that time of year again that we all sit and set our new goals for the new year and we reflect on our past goals that we did or did not accomplish. As I look back in 2014 the only thing I see was my desire to get a teaching job, in a classroom and not in a computer lab. So for me I will look back at the year 2014 with a huge smile on my face and a sense of accomplishment that I set and met a goal!

Now to look at 2015. First thing I am planning on doing is to get my energy back. This first year teacher thing is harder than they tell you. I am running on empty most of the time and I just want to be able to look around and see something that needs to be done and have the energy to just do it. So for the last month I have been working in my planner and preparing for the day...January 1! Not because it is a new year resolution but more in the fact that I like to start things at the beginning (OCD a little). And to be completely honest with myself and you...I needed the time to get myself talked into it.

About a year ago my cousin, Jennifer, Facebook messaged me about a company that she had started with called Advocare. With a little resistance I purchased the 24 day challenge bundle and to be completely honest I FAILED! I started with good intentions but I failed. I did not set myself up with the tools I needed and I hadn't changed my mindset.

This time it will be different (nothing like failing around people to just piss you off enough to prove them wrong). I will be successful with this 2nd chance I am giving myself. I have prepared by talking about it with my family, friends, co-workers, I have prepared in that I have created a food journal that I am completely in love with, and I know that there are people out there that think I am stupid and won't complete it and a part of me wants no NEEDS to prove them wrong!

Another change for 2015 is that I will not just keep this blog for classroom teaching things but all things because as a teacher I love to share ideas and hopefully will be able to grow this blog so that others can share in this process with me.
