Here is the winning entry to the writing prompt, Complete this thought....I'd like to find a map leading me to....

My sanity!!!

Today in class, I told the kindergartners that I was losing my mind
because I was being forgetful. One of the boys drew me a map to where my
mind was hiding. He said "then you won't keep forgetting that I am the
Light helper today!"

So cute!

Starting Over

I am starting over on the weight loss journey. Not for anyone else but myself. I want to be happier with my appearance and overall be a healthier person.

I think that when I started in January I felt a lot of pressure from my boyfriend to lose weight. And for a while I agreed with him and I was doing a lot to lose weight. I lost 10 lbs and then gained it all back out of nowhere. It was a big yo yo, up and down for four months and I lost my motivation and confidence to continue on with it. So I stopped.

This time I am doing it for me and only me. I'm not even sure if I am going to tell others my plans cause I don't want to feel pressured again.

I think that I can do it this time. Now that the Spring is here, it will be much easier to take walks outside with my dog. Since my schedule changed at work and I have the afternoons free, I will have more time to go to the gym without cramping my evening plans.

I'm hopeful about this. I just hope it works this time.
