Before After

SWEET VICTORY!

Hush....you guys hear that...its the sound of the crowd going wild!!!!

I am so excited about whats going on with me right now that I can hardly focus on typing this blog. My day began a little partly cloudy..just a typical Monday. I was anixous about my weigh in but most importantly my scores from my teacher test. ( I am trying to become certified). Well...as they day drew closer to the time the scores would be posted on the internet I kept checking and checking...so around 3:15 the scores were posted I eagerly put in my password and code and whata you know!!! I PASSED!!! I PASSED!!! If I could do a cartwheel. I would have done 2 cartwheels and ended it with triple double sommersalt!! (however you spell it) I was so excited. I have been wanting to teach since I moved to Atlanta and started subbing. I always had trouble with the math part. As a matter of fact after the state of Georgia turned to administring the GACE and not the Praxis I was excited because It was suppose to be easier..well...It took me 3 trys to pass but I passed. I kept at it...it was hard..it was plenty of nights I doubted myself and questioned myself weather teaching was even for me. Today, my answer was clear...yes this is for me...I am on my way!

Well....I was all pumped up when I made it home ...now if I could continue my sweet victory. I hurried in used the bathroom...then ran off to Weight Watchers...and what!! I couldn't belive it... a measly .2 lbs loss but since I was on my euphoric high...I couldn't even be mad at the scale...now next week maybe a little diffrent but nothing could taint how I was feeling right now.

Well...and then I got more good news.. I was wanting to start going to the gym at work before work but I have to take the shuttle to work and the shuttle doesn't start running until 6am so I was like what to do Well the security guard at work said that I can park at the parking deck and when I finish my car to the MLK parking lot where I am assigned to work and won't have to pay...so my plan is coming together so I am going to get my parking situation under control and hopefully next week start going to the gym in the morning...oh my that mean rise and shine 4 am...oh my!!! Well hope you all have a good evening! PEACE,LOVE AND HAIR GREASE!!!

Smoochies!!
