A Day of Firsts. . .

. . . and hopefully not the last.

I'm not sure that made sense; it did when I typed it, LOL.

First day of the 2013-2014 school year. It was a great day. It was great to see all of the students I knew and to meet some new ones. I would say that at least 95% of my students were excited about being in my class. With middle school students, that is definitely a celebration!

First day behaving like a "real adult." I was up at 5:45, walked the dogs for 15 minutes, did self-development reading, updated my to-do, made my shake, went grocery shopping, oh and showered somewhere in there, too. All before 7:30. I'm trying to start the day off positively, rather than hitting snooze several times and rushing to get to school on time.

First day on an 8-Day Ignite cycle. It is time to detox and undo all the things that I've done to my body the past several weeks. Like I said in an earlier post, I did a lot of it for data collection to help people out. Of course hindsight, maybe I should've let someone else experiment that doesn't have quite so much to lose in the the first place. But, can't change it now, so I'm starting fresh and am loving it! I love my Lean shakes. I make 'em frothy with crushed ice at home. At school, I just shake it up and drink it down. I haven't been taking most of the supplements for 2 months, and cannot wait to see the wonderful results I have at the end of these 8 days! And, if you've been following me for awhile, you know I will share 'em with you, for better or worse. But I know it will be for better!

Finally, it's also my first day working from a list. The problem with this is I do not handle not completing the list well. Well, it's ten after nine, and I've got 20 more things on my list. I'm trying to rectify that I won't always accomplish everything on the list, but I have it to work toward. This will be the hardest thing for me to keep up with on the list of "firsts." I'll let you know how it goes. (Motivation and support would be helpful, LOL! Just Kidding!)

I must go for now. If I'm going to get in 8 hours of sleep, I should've been in bed fifteen minutes ago. Oh well, I'm a work in progress!
