True confessions:

1. I too had a massive poop! I seriously wished I'd had a ruler. I kid you not! LOL!
2. I am worried/scared/anxious about a foray in to long term healthy eating. I have some idea that it has to do with my black and white thinking. I have proven to myself that sugar and I should keep our relationship to a minimum - maybe see each other like distant family members only on special holidays or the rare family occasion. Perhaps we should even live apart forever and end our relationship. Clearly, I have not been too successful with that thing called moderation. LOL! So, I'm feeling pretty "either or". It is that sense of finality that I believe is subconsciously terrifying. Anyhow, there is a quietly and powerfully controlling part of my inner-self that is holding me captive and impeding my progress to implement a an eating style that promotes health, weight reduction, self approval, self confidence, and a level of self satisfaction that breeds contentment.

Haha! I just answered a question for myself. What I need to concentrate on and remember are the fantastically positive emotional outcomes of eating in a healthy manner.

Only two days back at work and already feeling the stress of it, BUT I have decided that I will do a little better exerting some control over my work life. I plan to do this by taking tried and true and educationally proven curricula, methodologies, and teaching strategies and putting them together in way that appears to the "Edubabblers" that be, that I have taken the KoolAid and am awaiting the space ship. It will be work, but less work than if I really drank the KoolAid and was following the Calkins workshop model.

It's 2018 and I have no goals or resolutions. My theme for this evening is Follow Through. My sketch needs to be completed!
