It's been awhile!

I have been running for a month now! Woohoo! A whole month! I can run for 6 minutes straight now! YAY! I have a long way to go though! I made the decision tonight to start eating cleaner. If you have any advice please share! More fruits and veggies! I need to fuel my body for all the running I'm doing.
I found this on Pintrest today and I'm sticking to this!

I also added this to my bucket list today:

Weekly Goals:
Eat more Vegetables 3-4 servings a day
Eat more fruit 2-4 servings a day
No Pop
No Fast food
Run a total of 10 miles

Seriously?

Do people of the world have no filter? Do you let things just flow out of your mouths? You don't? Think again, you do. I am constantly having to build up anger because of stupid things you do. Then one day when someone asks me a simple question, I burst! Anyone else like this? Yeah, I knew I wasn't alone! 

Sorry for the vent! I really would like to get a punching bag so I can just punch away my anger! My awesome uncle and his friend are kind enough when they are around and I get upset to let me use them. Typically, I end up getting hurt not them. Why must you be like a rock?!?!?! 

I really need to start working out again. Weights 2 times a week and Cardio 3-4 times a week.

I've lost another lb! Woohoo! I'm 2 oz away from 25 pounds lost! Woohoo! I want to set some goals/ rewards. I think my next post will be about that. 

College,Teaching & Planning

College: I'm on spring break right now....it's simply amazing! I got grades back and did horrible my first quarter! I NEED like A's and B's next quarter! Study...Study...Study!!! Overall, I love college! It's fun and exciting..I'm learning so much!

Teaching: I'm currently an Early Childhood Education major. That pretty much means I want to teach elementary. I will be able to teach Preschool through 3rd grade! I really want to teach some where between K-2. I sat in on my little sisters Kindergarten teacher today. She is amazing! I was able to help the kids and asses them in some of their work. It was super fun! My sister is in first grade now so I would love to sit in on that grade too. I was with a Second grade class a few weeks ago and loved that!

Planning: I'm not planning my food well. I'm over already and it's not even dinner time yet. It will be a light dinner tonight. Here is my plan from now on:

Diets, Death, and Finals

Diets, Death and Finals...they all seem to have the same thing in common in most people's minds. Sadness, hard, and no fun! I can agree they are all no fun. I'm dealing with them all right now.

Diet- Slowly, I'm trying to say I'm not on a "diet" but rather a "lifestyle" change. What does that mean? It means that I'm eating healthy and sensibly but not restricting myself. Hell, I bought 6 boxes of girl scout cookies. I got them 2 weeks ago and have only ate 4 cookies. Why? I put them up and when I really want one I have the serving size or just one. I get over it. I'm not craving these things daily anymore because I'm not eating it daily.

Death- For the past 2 weeks we have been dealing with the grim fact that my great grandma is dying. We went down to West Virginia to where she is and was in the hospital. The outlook was grim then but she was given the option to have her legs removed and keep fighting or to keep them and face the end of her life. She chose the latter of the two.  We were there over this past weekend, she is now home in hospice. It's hard to deal with but I've had these last few weeks to prepare myself. I'm ready for her to go home and be with our sweet Savior. She has slipped into a coma and isn't eating or drinking anymore so now it's just a waiting game.

Finals- WAAA!!!! Finals are next week. I'm stressing. This can make or break my grade in math. I'm not too worried about the others. I'm not doing well in math now so this 33% of my grade could bring me to passing. I'm so stressed. Study, study study is my mojo right now.

Maybe, I will start blogging more often? I'm making this my homepage so maybe I will! haha

See ya!
