me & one of my residents

So things have been pretty nuts over here. To be honest, I have truly been struggling to find balance with school, work, being a CA, and relationships. It's been a CRAZY three weeks. I've been to the bottom of the barrel with EVERYTHING so it seems. I've nearly lost just about everything and somehow brought it all back above water. I started a program at my school called "Woods Weight Loss" that officially starts Sunday that i believe will be an added motivator for me. I'm going to be encouraging students to get healthy with calories in vs calories out and basic food awareness. I'm really excited about it and I'm just REALLY praying that it will be successful. I've also put a lot of time and energy into it, so I just really pray a lot of people show and it will be a successful group. I've told myself that if only 20 people show, it will be a success.

Lauren and I have gotten back together after a crazy couple of weeks. We somehow managed to work things out and I'm happy again. We both realize, however, that there's a lot of work to be done so hopefully we can continue to work together so we can finally just be happy and drama free.

I've also decided to not drink anymore and I'm nervous/excited about it. I know I can do it, but I just really have to believe that I don't need a drink to help me loosen up and have a good time. I don't need "liquid confidence".

I just really need to continue to work to find balance. I've been having a really hard time and I just hope that I can continue to find it so I can be happy and maintain my busy schedule. Anywho, off to continue with life.
