Sorry I went awol for the summer. I’ll do a catch-up post this week. A lot happened, but in a way not a lot happened either. August means school is starting and back to work! I had been attempting to bullet journal in a dotted Moleskine, and while I do like the dotted layout (makes graphing and writing in straight lines both easy without the clutter of actual lines), with school starting, I really needed something more structured. With a 60% off coupon in hand plus my 15% teacher discount, I made my way to Michaels and picked up the Happy Planner! So far I really love it. This is the third week I’ve been dieting and tracking on My Fitness Pal. It’s going pretty well, but I attribute a lot of this initial loss to water weight, bloating, and sleeping a lot. That’s not to say I hope the next few weeks continue in this vein!
I had a workshop for school last week and start professional development this week for my school. I am teaching a new class this year and get a new classroom (and new bell schedule, new administrators, new coworkers, and so on)…so I’m a little anxious. I’ve decided to theme my classroom Finding Dory/Oceans, so expect to see some pictures when I’m done! I saw a lot of cute crafty things to do with supplies from The Dollar Tree (and also got a ton of Finding Dory stuff from the dollar bin area of Target!).
Aside from school starting, I only have a few things going on in August. I have a brunch to go to, tiki tubing, and going to my parents/hometown to visit with a friend who is moving soon. Anyway, what do I want to specifically accomplish this month?
August Goals:
- Complete the 30 Day Challenge (squats/planks/crunches/pushups)
- Record all meals in My Fitness Pal (friend me if you want!)
- Downsize book collection and paperwork to prepare for move
- Hit 10,000 steps at least 4 times each week
- Finish reading Name of the Wind
- Pay back parents completely
- Lose weight
What do you plan to accomplish this August?
