Friday marked the last day of my first year of teaching. It was a bittersweet goodbye. I am not going back to Cross of Hope next year. I am happy because I had to deal with some crap that really hurt and had me doubting myself and my teaching abilities, but I am sad because I will miss all of the kids and the friends that I made there. I got some great goodbye gifts. First my parents and students made me a flower pot of gift cards. It was a flower pot that all of my kids signed that had paper flowers in it and all of the flowers were pockets with gift cards in them! I got gift cards of all kinds: restaurants, movies, Target, and more. It was an amazing gift. Then, my kids planned me a surprise going away party all by themselves (well the girls did, they didn't really include the boys and the boys were a little sad :( ) The decorated the classroom and had cookies and yogurt for us (Greek yogurt for me!) It was the sweetest thing ever! Like I said, it was bittersweet and now I have to go on a job hunt.
As for my diet, I am still working very hard at it and it is going slow and steady. I have lost a total of 9 pounds so far. I think that it will be a lot easier for me this summer. I will have more time to go to the gym. Also, my diet calls for all meals to be made from scratch and I will have more time to do that since I won't be working. When it is all said and done, it will be worth it!

A New Car for My New Lifestyle
Yesterday I bought a car! It is my first car that I bought on my own. I am really proud of myself. It is a very nice Toyota Camry. I got a really good deal on it and I have always wanted a Camry, so I am one happy girl. I needed a new car because of my accident, but I also figure that a new car is a great way to start my new lifestyle that I am working towards.
Yesterday I also started week 2 of my diet. I am enjoying my diet and I am not finding it hard to stay on it. I think it is because I have told so many people my goal about losing weight and getting healthy. I lost 2lbs last week and I am really proud of those 2lbs. I didn't work out as much as I would have liked, but I worked out as much as my body would let me. Last week I worked out 4 days and this week my goal is 5 days. I have to take it slow because I am out of practice. I have already discovered that I am enjoying my healthy lifestyle a lot more. I have more energy, I look forward to eating my vegetables and going to the gym, and I feel like I am a better wife and teacher because I am feeling so much better. I look forward to getting healthier and losing more weight each week!
