07:03 pm - Milwee Middle Shooting
There was a shooting at a middle school in Longwood, Fl yesterday (outside Orlando, about 2 hours from me) Stuff like this scares the CRAP out of me. I teach middle school! Who knows what can happen! This one had a more personal link to me as one of my closest girlfriends Suzy teaches at that school and taught the victim! I feel horrible that this happened and that kids feel like stuff like that is a way out. Poor suz is so upset, as you could imagine. I just saw on CNN that the boy passed away.
I'm haunted by this. So so sad.

08:37 am - End to a horrible week
This week has been horrible. My students, freaky parents, my administration, not fun. I'm GLAD this is a 3 day weekend, I need it.
Tonight Craig and I have date night. We're going to a NICE place on the beach for dinner. One of Craig's clients got him a gift certificate for xmas and off we go! His sister and family are here for the weekend, so i'm sure we'll be busy!
I can get through the next 7 hours ;)

03:35 pm - It's amazing
It's amazing what one week of eating healthy can do to my outlook on things. Now when I look in the mirror I think "I'm looking okay!" instead of the self loathing I was doing before. Yes, I may not have lost a ton this week (who knows really, I WI at home tomorrow morning) but I'm doing what I need to in order to get to my goal.
To those who are waiting to get back on the wagon (again, as I know this is the millionth time I've tried, this might be the time it sticks) give yourself a week, you'll be amazed how it makes everything in your life seem better.

07:09 pm - family drama
I'm having some family stuff go on (not immediate family, some extended family stuff) that's kinda weird that makes me feel...unsettled?
Not much else is going on. Going back to work this week wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. Actually this week went pretty quickly.
I slept on my neck wrong. Does anyone know if it's heat or cold I should put on it to make the stiffness (hahaha, stiffness) go away? ;)
Day 5 w/ eating great! I'm very proud of myself. Stepped on the scale today (even thought i'm not "officially" weighing in until Monday) and it already says down 2. That's awesome seeing as I'm aiming for 1/week! 130 by my 30th! I can do it!

Um, I'm an idiot. I was playing around, CUSTOMIZING, if you will, my LJ and can't get it back to the original settings.
I have everything on Default but it still goes all pretty and stuff and I dont' like it. HELP!

confused05:16 pm - Proud
I'm SO proud of myself! This morning I had to bring in 30 donuts, OJ and candy for a class that won a contest that I organized. I got up early, schlepped to Publix and got all of the stuff and dropped it in the winning teachers' classroom. I have first period planning, so I'm usually running around doing whatever needs to be done for the day. I come back in my room and there on my desk is a 1/4 full jug of OJ and 3 donuts. I guess they were leftover.
OH LORD! Not on day 3 of my new healthier lifestyle!
However, I just left them there until I could decide what to do with them. Not 5 minutes later a student, Max, who I mentor came in for our little chat session. We meet every Tues morning to talk about whatever is going on in his life, to make sure his grades are okay, etc. I offered him the donuts and he was like "sure, but dont' you want one?" I SAID NO! I explained that I'm trying to eat healthier and he said "Well I wouldn't want to leave them here for you!" and ate all three :) Teenage boys! (what am I talking about, I could EASILY eat three donuts, hahahaah)
Anyways, I'm still really proud of myself :) That is all.

04:45 pm - Still chugging
Day 2. I'm doing okay! They cleaned out the fridge at work and threw away 4 perfectly good micro meals! So I had soup. Not enough food makes Cyndi an unhappy camper :(
So, I had to go back today after two weeks off. This day is ALWAYS the most stressful for me. No idea why. I had NIGHTMARES last night about going back to work! I have a lot on my plate there and managed to shirk (sp?) some of the duties I had taken on, so I feel better now.
I wish I was more witty or something on my LJ, but honestly, I'm trying to keep myself accountable to lose my weight before the dreaded 30th :)

07:24 pm - Happy New Years
This is it! The last hoorah! After tonights dinner (Melting Pot) I'm back on the wagon!
I've lived it up today! Cinnamon bagel w/ Cream cheese for breakfast, taco bell for lunch and melting pot for dinner! Wow!
I am REALLY determined to get to 130 by my 30th bday in 2/07. That gives me about 13 months to lose approx 25lbs. I CAN do it. Will I do it is the question. I get so frustrated because I know what I HAVE to do to be successful, I just need to do it! I do NOT want to enter my 30's feeling like I do right now. DO NOT.
I've tried 15 times to lose the weight, maybe it's the 16th that'll do the trick!
Good luck to my friends who are in the same boat that I am. We can do this together!

04:10 pm - Shopping
Taking an idea from C-go, I decided to clean out my closet and go shopping at NY & Co. I had a $50 off $150 coupon. Well, DID YOU KNOW THEY INCLUDE EVERYTHING ON SALE TOO! I got 5 tops, 4 pairs of pants and 2 pairs of earrings for
$107.67!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What a deal!
I'm sick of having so much crap in my closet that I can barely move, especially since i'm SHARING a closet now! I'm getting rid of like 10 pairs of shoes! My mom takes her stuff to a consignment store so I decided to do that too. Actually I take all of my old stuff, give it to my mom, she takes it to the consignment store, the lady takes what she wants to sell and my mom donates the rest. I got $40 right before xmas for doing nothing!
Tonight is date night. Dinner and a movie. I have a few more days until I'm back to the 'ol grind.
Day 2 of actually writing in my LJ! I'm doing good!

12:27 pm - Hurricane Day
Yeah! no school! Boo to those who had major problems due to Hurricane Wilma. In my county, Pinellas, schools were cancelled for today. I'm using the day to catch up on stuff I've been neglecting, mainly my house! SO MESSY! No major damage to my house. My outdoor light cover flew off and broke on my front porch, but that's about it. A few branches and signs broken but no flooding! Hope everyone is having a great Monday!

05:24 pm - Ideas
This past week my best friend went into labor 3 1/2 months early into her preganancy. She is only 26 weeks along. Thankfully, they were able to stop the labor, unfortunately, she has to stay in the hospital until he is big enough to be born. They are in Atlanta, I am in Tampa. They just moved up there in May. I feel completely helpless and sad that I cannot be there w/ her, even to keep her company and her mind off of bad thoughts.
Anyone have any ideas of stuff to put in a gift box for her? Books are on the top of the list. I was also thinking of buying her a gameboy. Anything else?
Thanks for your ideas!

10:36 am - Long Time no Talk
Hi all!
I feel so behind! My computer is still broken and LJ and the 20's are blocked from work! I have to find a computer (i'm at Craig's right now) to read/update, when I have time! Some updates
- work is going well. 4 weeks into the school year and I have great classes.
-Craig is well. It's almost our 1 year anniversary! We're going to the Bucs/Lions game to celebrate in our respective jersies (me Bucs, him Lions) All is well and he's moving in around Thanksgiving time!
-I met a zonie on accident. Not an accident accident but.....craig and I decided to get Sushi the other night. We went to a new place which I rememebered that Jen (intern46) on our boards' husband owns. Sure enough, we walk in and she's the only american chick in a kimono :) I tell Craig that I think it's her and when he went to the restroom I said to her "What's your name" and she was like "Are you Cyndi?" hahaha, she kenw right away. She said she recognized me from my pictures. How funny! She was super nice and I hope to get to see her again soon! I also got to meet her husband who seemed super cool. I'm going to have to drag Kristin over there (even though she's not so into sushi)
-I miss the boards! It so sucks not having a computer, but I don't have money to get a new one right now :(
-my weight loss is not so great. I've been eating like crazy. Craig and I are going to look at gyms today so we can get into a routine. We'll see. I hope that will motivate me.
I read and read and got caught up on a lot of ya'll. I hope all is well and I'll be up and running soon!
