I can't believe October is almost done! Where has the time gone?!
This has been a long month but short at the same time. Know what I mean? The school weeks have flown by and I can't believe we're pretty much into November this coming week and pretty soon, it'll be Thanksgiving! WOW... It blows my mind! I've got so much to do before the end of the school semester, which is in December this year now. Our school district has changed the semester schedule to better accommodate learning (i.e. make finals before Christmas break instead of after--go figure). But that also means altering lesson plans for everybody! I'm fine with it but I did have a little freak out when I realized I wasn't quite done with chapter 2 and I still have 2 chapters to cover! Yikes! It'll get done though.
Fortunately, with all the fast craziness of the fall semester, I've managed to find time for myself to keep my cup full. I find time each day to get my workout in and to take care of my mindset. I listen to mindset improvement literature through my Audible app on my drive to and from school. I turn on my music when I get into my workout clothes and go into my at home gym. I get my workout done and then I'm done for the evening. It's amazing what you can do when you set that time aside for yourself. It's extremely important to do so! If you don't fill your cup, you can't fill other people's cups! It's impossible!
It's especially crucial for you to take time for yourself during the holiday craziness. Family time demands a lot of us, and if we don't take time for ourselves, the family time will drain us so quickly and we won't feel adequately rested. So, take the time. Take 10 minutes...take 20 minutes...take a bubble bath...read a book that you've been wanting to read for a long time... do whatever it is that fills your cup and makes you feel whole. Your body and mind will thank you for it and you'll be able to give more to your family!

Busy/hectic last few weeks!
The first couple months of school have come and gone! Holy cow!! It's already October! Where has the time gone?!
I've had some interesting things happen at school too. So far, my kids have been pretty good but I've had a few issues. Some bullying that I've nipped in the bud. I'm pretty proud of myself. But in all honesty, I was NOT going to have the same kind of year as I had last year, you better believe it! I'll be damned if I lose anymore sleep over a class period again!
The next thing was at the annual Oktoberfest. I take my kids every year to a German restaurant to celebrate and have lunch. The restaurant we have been going to lately is an amazing, little deli. He even has his own little imported German goods grocery store. Well, my kids and I had another school join us and we had an awesome time!! Fast forward to Saturday morning and I get a message from the owner saying some of my kids were caught trying to shoplift. Imagine the horror I was feeling at that moment. I was mortified! I sent an email to all parents and students notifying them of the situation and told them that I was contemplating either cutting my group in half next year or even considering not doing it again! SO SAD for all!
Long story short, I found out by Monday afternoon that it wasn't any of my students. It was from the other group and I was instantly relieved. But I know that it could've just as easily been any of mine. I'm still worked up over it but I am happy that, in the end, it wasn't any of mine for now. It still puts me in a difficult position though because now I feel like trust has been betrayed. I'm sure I'll get past it though. I still plan on taking the children there but I'm definitely going to be more cautious and less trusting. :(
Finally, on an unrelated note, I'm reviving my free group on Facebook, called "Stronger Than Your Excuses". I'm hosting a FREE meal prep group, where I'll be sharing tips and tricks and recipes to help people get into the groove of meal planning and prepping for successful weeks ahead. If you'd like to join me, let me know and we can get you added into the group! Meal prep and planning are crucial parts of a healthy lifestyle and really cut down the stress when it comes to busy work weeks! So, let me know if you want in, and I'll get you in!

Long weekends and the anxiety that come with them..
Hey, everybody! I hope your long weekend is/has been amazing! Mine has been awesome but, as always, goes so fast! I'm sitting here typing during a laundry break. I realize I'm not updating as often as I said I would. Life happens and the weeks get busy. So, I'm coming at you on the weekends from now on.
Do you ever get those sudden anxiety attacks when you realize all the stuff you HAVE to get done isn't getting done because, well, you want to enjoy life and not be tied to chores all the time? Yeah. I get those feelings and last night, they got the best of me. I started getting emotional out of the blue. I got cranky and I'm sure poor Dimas was like, "Oh man, what did I do?" I think my anxious feelings are a hangover from when I was married. I always wanted to enjoy my weekends and not do much, in regards to chores, and same for my summers. There were times when things would get tense in the household and my ex would ask, "Why didn't the clothes get cleaned? What did you do all day?" I mean, not in those exact words but those were the sentiments. Then he would get upset that his shirts weren't all clean and ready to go. Whenever he did laundry, he would just put everything through and pull all the clothes out of the dryer, and throw them in a huge pile and just leave it. Rarely did he try to fold the stuff. He would leave it all in huge pile for me to fold. No kidding, one time there was a pile that was about 2-3 feet tall on the floor. Really?! Was that necessary? So, now when I do laundry, I do loads of laundry at a time so I can manage them and get them folded. However, that does seem to take longer, BUT at least it's not a freaking 3 foot pile of laundry!!!
Anyway, I tend to suffer from anxiety on the Sundays (and Mondays of long weekends). I feel like the time just flies by without me even knowing it and before I realize it, the clock says it's close to bedtime and I have to ramp down for the night to start another day.
Does anybody else suffer from this cycle of emotions?
So, today, I'm going to do something I rarely do. I'm going to bake. Banana nut muffins to be exact. I never bake because I'm a sucker for baked goods (especially homemade ones), and also because of the dishes it causes. Ha! But I talked with Dimas last night, saying I really needed help when it comes to the dishes, so hopefully he'll help me out with clearing out some of those dish piles and help relieve some stress symptoms. I don't know. This could backfire. LOL Fresh banana nut muffins in the house and it already smells amazing because the first batch is done. OMG. So good. Wish me luck.

Routines, schmoutines..
Okay, here I am finally. This past week was a whirlwind of activity! Monday was our first day of school in the BSD. And while it was only a half day, it still kicked my butt! At least I looked cute while my butt was being kicked..
One thing that plagues me each school year, is SWEAT. OMG. I sweat so much the first week of school. I literally drip sweat down my face, chest and back. It's humiliating! I was talking to somebody about this and they totally identified with me and said it was an anxiety reaction. I guess you could say that I'm just as anxious about the start of a new year as the students. Interesting, huh? Yes, teachers are looking for validation and approval just as much as the students!
What did the first week of school do to me, energy-wise? I was drained. When I came home each day, I collapsed. Working out and eating healthy were the last things on my mind but the first thing I thought about...does that make sense? All I wanted to do was fall asleep and not eat dinner or just drink beer or eat a huge pizza. I didn't do that. Much. I did have a beer or two in the week but I held off on the pizza and managed to rustle up some healthy food for us. I got my workouts in and I felt powerful afterwards. I loved them even though I didn't want to at first. The awesome thing about them, was the fact that they were less than 40 minutes each and I would remember that and get up, get my workout clothes on and just get it done. I loved every minute of each workout, even during the hard stuff.
Routines are so healthy for us. While I love the laziness of summer and not having to wake up to an alarm, when routines do hit in August/September, my metabolism rejoices. Since I already have a slower metabolism, being on a routine helps it even out. I actually tend to lose weight again during the first part of the school year due to eating at regular times and getting a regular workout in each day. So, while I'm nearing the end of my 4 day workout program, I'm fully planning on starting a new round! Excuse the language right now but I FUCKING LOVED LIIFT4. It's an amazing program that I felt like didn't consume my life. Unfortunately, my nutrition kinda suffered during it--I tried. Sorta. LOL. But this next round, it's go time and I'm going to rock the SHIT out of it and get even better results from it! I have some spots open for those of you who'd like to join me. Hit me up.

Almost that time of year again!
School starts Monday!! What?!?! Where did the time go? Feels like just yesterday I was sending those children out my door for a wonderful, relaxing summer... and then BOOM! August hits and it's time to prepare for teacher mode again.
I can't say I'm sad though. After last school year, I really needed this summer. Last school year really tried my patience and motivation to keep teaching. I had some tough students. However, summer came, I relaxed, filled my cup, and took time for me. Now I feel recharged and ready to go again. I'm in a new room this year, which is SO EXCITING!!! I've been decorating like crazy and it's safe to say that my room just might be a German Wonderland.. Once I get it 100% ready, I will post so many pics, you'll be sick of seeing it. HA!
Anyways, I've been so busy this week and my mind is running a million miles a minute! As teachers, we have so many to-do lists, we quickly get swallowed up in them and often forget to take time for ourselves. This afternoon, I went to get my nails done--both fingers and toes. It was glorious. I don't often get my fingernails done because in the past, I've usually done the regular nail polish. This time I went back to gel. I may keep doing it. I like how sturdy it is. My nails don't hold onto color very well so gel is well worth it right now for me. I figure I'll keep doing it, as it makes me take time for myself every couple of weeks.
Hmm.. so people ask me what my plans are this weekend before school starts.. I'm thinking an extra long bubble bath with a bath bomb to ease those aches and pains from my workouts but also to relax my mind so I can focus on what I'm doing this upcoming week! I know Sunday night will be challenging for me. I don't sleep well on Sunday nights during the school year and ESPECIALLY on the night before school starts! It's going to be a rude awakening for Dimas and me! I figure we will need to start heading to bed and ramping down for the night around 8ish, in order to quiet our minds and relax before the big day.
I'm feeling good though. I'm feeling confident. I know that this year will be an amazing one, full of laughter, fun, probably some tears...lol...but hopefully more laughter. But you just never know when you're dealing with teenagers! 😉
On that note, I better get a start on fixing some sort of healthy dinner. I've been trying to dial in my nutrition a little better this week, which has meant not going out to lunch and eating my prepared lunch from home. I feel much better when I do that, even though I know it's a lot more fun at times to go out. Tomorrow, I might actually go get a salad from the grocery store salad bar. I love doing that for sure. It'll be my treat to myself.

Prepping for school and a successful week
As school is approaching, I think I'm going to cut these posts down a little to maybe 2-3 times per week, with maybe a bonus post if something exciting happens. Does that sound good?
This past week started and ended quickly. I spent one day completely moving myself from one end of the building to the other into a new classroom. I was super happy to do this because now I can get some work done each day and I feel I will have more productivity this year due to not having weights being slammed down every few minutes. I will be much calmer and more at ease each day. Last year was a nightmare for my productivity. Each day, I just left after school without doing much prep work for the next day, leaving me way too stressed the next morning. I will actually get to have a quiet work environment each day and can actually get some work done after school! I'm so excited for this! Can't wait for this year!
Friday started my classroom prep work. I made some good headway and will finish tomorrow--pics to come soon after the room is finished! I plan on making it as magical as I can! Haha! I've got lots of posters and I plan on filling it with student work too. I also want to have a senior wall for all the pics of my graduating and graduated seniors. I've got a small collection going already and can't wait to build on it. It's going to be a masterpiece!

Another prep I'm doing is to dial in my nutrition for the week. Since it's been summer, I've been enjoying the last few days of beer and snacks and whatnot. I need to stop that now. It's holding me back in my results and I need to refocus. Routine is happening again and so will meal prep Sunday. I just got done working on my lunches for the next 2 days. I know I will be tempted to go out to lunch with teach friends that I never get to visit with during the school year but I must hold strong. Tomorrow will be easy because it's just a work day and I have no plans to go out with anybody. I plan on just making it a working lunch.
My menu for tomorrow:
Breakfast: my Shakeology with a piece of fruit and peanut butter whole wheat wrap
Snack: Cottage cheese with grapes and almonds and Beachbar
Lunch: Mixed salad with 2 hard boiled eggs and zesty Italian dressing
Snack: Beachbar
Dinner: Veggie Stir fry with chicken (maybe with some brown rice but haven't decided yet)
**All of these things will be portioned out with my color-coded portion containers to fit my meal plan. I'm determined to crush my nutrition for the last 4 weeks of my program. By the way, I fully plan on doing another round of this program because it is THAT AWESOME. If you want in on it, let me know and I can get you in my accountability group!
As it's getting to my bedtime now, I'll leave you with these words:
Fail to plan, plan to fail.

Tip Tuesday and Work with Me Wednesday in ONE!
Oops! I totally forgot to leave myself some time yesterday to write! Sorry about that! So today, I will be combining yesterday and today to make up for that..
Tip Tuesday and Work with me Wednesday:
Yesterday was moving day for me. And by moving day, I mean I had to move classrooms. I thought I was going to have to go at alone but guess what? Sweet Dimas decided to go with me and help! Such a sweetie, he is. 💝 It totally cut my moving time by a huge amount of time, probably hours. Anyway, I was freaking out about how much I had to move, but most of it was junk that had just accumulated over the 3 years I had been in that room. I ended up throwing a lot of paper away and some stuff that had just not been used. That's what I really need to do when I start putting my new room together. Throw it out. If it doesn't give me joy or it's not immediately useful, THROW IT OUT. Start fresh.
Same thing goes for house cleaning and organization. I'm by no means an organized person, hence my past story on IG about losing a charging cord for my personal laptop, and then finding it the same day that I received the new one, which I knew that was exactly what was going to happen. If I were more organized, I'd have a specific place for all cords. But that's just not me. Yes, I need to come up with a better system but I'm just not super structured when it comes to organization.
Ugh...
Change of thought for today. I was going to babble on about organization and how much I lack at that skill and give you organization tips but I'm not that person who can give sound advice on organizing.. LOL! But the tip I DO want to give kind of goes along with organization in your life and with the work that I do every day (professionally and personally), and not with just the actual material things. I'm talking about people in our lives. Remember when I said that if it doesn't give you joy, THROW IT OUT? That's kind of what we have to do with people in our lives who don't give us joy. Right now, I'm trying to find "my tribe". I need people who I can turn to in certain times of need and in times of accountability. I'm working on it. But in this process, I've been coming across people who I thought might fit my tribe characteristics but turns out they don't. And that's okay! It's totally okay!
Sometimes these discoveries are a little more obvious than others. Sometimes these people cause too much drama. I'm an adult. I work with teenage drama as a teacher 9 months out of the year--do I need ADULTS to cause MORE drama in my life? HELL NO. Do I need to lose sleep over some petty issues or comments? No. Do they bother me sometimes? Yes. I'm human. Sometimes people say really hurtful things and I might have a good cry. But that's when I say or somebody might say to me, "Eff them. You don't need to entertain that. Let them go." So that's what I do. These negative Nancy-type people are not a part of my tribe, and I do not need to interact with them or at least, I need to limit the types of interaction I do with them. Negative energy brings you down. Way down. Do you ever notice when you cancel your plans because you just feel too stressed to go through with them and suddenly, you feel so much lighter? Like a sudden calm comes over you and you're not sure why? That's because you got rid of something that wasn't giving you joy. That's your subconscious mind breathing a sigh of relief. It's okay to say no. It's okay to fill your cup with other positive vibes and activities.
You do you, Boo. You deserve to be nothing but happy! Find people who celebrate you.
