A Day in the Life of a Master(s) of Education

Well Blogger World, The month of August has been an interesting one. Some major life changes have happened that I don't want to go into but were substantial enough to put into motion a new course of life. Actually I will take the time to talk about one of those changes. On a recent trip to WDW I was disapproved in a few of my roles due to my weight gain and size. I will credit WDW Costuming Manager Winnie for handling a tricky situation with kindness and grace. I understand that she has a job to do and a look to achieve and currently I do not meet those guidelines. Though I was initially upset and distraught, I have since used this as a fuel to my fire weight loss and body toning goals. I have evaluated my eating habits and have since adopted a 4-5/day week workout routine and a protein packed 2000 calorie eating plan. I do not really like the word "diet", too many negative connotations. I feel good. I like it thus far. It has been a struggle to be consistent but with m...

Here we are in the seventh month of the year and I feel like it's almost over! Well that's because it is. I figured I would take this time and update all my loyal readers (yes the both of you) what's been happening in my day-to-day life. So let's get started. Well as you know this is been a year of concerts for me. I've had the pleasure of seeing lots of artist for the first time. So far, I've seen Maroon 5, Owl City, Olly Murs, T.I., Lil Wayne, Ke$ha, Pitbull and in a weeks time my ATL baby Ludacris! it has been so fun to be able to spend my money and see artists whose music I truly enjoy. Hopefully I will be able to post some photographs really soon.  One of the benefits of living in Atlanta is its great music scene , which I haven't really had the chance to take advantage of until now. Boy am I making up for lost time. In recent revelations I decided to start working out a the regular basis. Why? Well realize that I wasn't all that happy with the ...

Yesterday.....I was exhausted. It took everything I had in me to head to the shelter to volunteer.  Today at work I lost another pair of jeans to "thigh rub" (should be self-explanatory).That was also the final straw. The proverbial camel's back has been broken. I am so tired of being tired and lethargic. Sure I work hard physically just about everyday but that's no excuse for not getting into shape! The muscles I use when lifting a 40lbs bag of potting soil aren't the same ones I use to ride a bike. I want to be at a healthy manageable weight and right now 150lbs and 5' just isn't that. When I was in college and actively participating in Crew I was a solid mass of 120lbs toned muscle. Now don't get me wrong I still had a large butt, a decent bra size and a definite Coca-Cola bottle shape but is was still all visually appealing to me when I looked in the mirror. Now when I look in the mirror the image staring back at me screams "Wtf". The wor...
