I can understand why you would get another broken bone. For me the biggest stressor is the fact that the legislator in my state seems to think that as teacher we are working on a factory line producing widgets. They are in the process of attaching our pay to how the students do on end of level testing. Which would be fine if the accountability was equal for parents, students, and teacher. However, in the new system the only person being held accountable is the teachers. We have no power to hold back or fail a student, regardless of how poorly they perform or refuse to do their work. I have several students who will yell you I don't have to do my school work or homework because there is nothing the teacher can do to me. Most of my students who say this also have parents who have no value for education. Though the summers off and vacation are great perks

My wife is counting down the days she has left before she retires. Three semesters left now. All the new rules and regulations have sucked all the fun out of teaching for her Alabama has not gotten to the point of pay on performance if the students yet though. And the pay for her level is pretty good for Alabama.

Good luck on losing the weight. We started bike riding every day. We're up to 20 - 25 miles a day. Without dieting I lost 20 pounds and my husband lost close to 40.

This is so true and so unfair. We women work our butt off just as hard as the guys, and we lose half the weight because our bodies are different. It is just not fair.

I bet a box of chocolate will make you feel better about it!

No chocolates the work I have done would be all for nothing if I ate the chocolate. I have went to the gym the last two nights. My muscles our sore but I have enjoyed the workout. It is too hard to take the weight off to defeat my goal this early.

congratulations on getting out and getting it done! (And small amounts of dark chocolate are good for you!)

Pretty soon you will be feeling like a whole new you! With the weather I have had lately I have been really missing the bicycle. I know what it means to be sore as heck but feel great at the same time. Another thing you can try is called The Daily Burn. The videos are a ton of fun. And they have something for everyone. No matter your fitness level. Keep on keepin on!

Here are my Day 19 Photo's

This guy is a little fuzzy because of the glass. However, I love the expression on his face. I was actually shooting the ape behind him. When he came from across the cage. Sat down in front of the window and posed for me.
