Six Months!!!!

Okay so I am six months post op and today was my appointment with Dr. Heydari...my weight was confirmed at 221.5!!! I am so excited. Dr. Heydari said that I am doing amazingly well. The dietitian said that I had the diet down really well. I feel like a new person! Six months and I am a new person...amazing!!!!!!

I had my first meeting with the reading team today. It was so good to see everyone and to get some planning done. Both my team mates have such wonderful ideas and they are such good teachers. However, I get frustrated because I am at a different point in my career then they are and I don't always see things their way. When I was a new teacher I would take every unit and create worksheets, tests, and lessons. Now, I have learned that you need to accept already prepared materials as they are and to not change them. New teachers always want to change things, this just makes for more work. I can absolutely see their point in what they want, but if the program was made this way, why change it... I just don't have time in my life to change things all the time, I am so over it! I want to spend all my time on learning about the students and their needs and meeting those needs...not creating lessons and materials...it is so crazy...I want to enjoy teaching, not hate every minute of it because I am flustered. Life is short and my teaching time is getting short too!

Sara's wedding is just around the corner and I am so excited for the day. I know it will go fast, but I want to make it the best day ever. The menu is set, the invites arrived yesterday, the shower is done, the DJ is booked, the photo booth is booked, the photographer is booked. Now all we need it an officiant and flowers! I love that everything is finally happening:) I actually might fit in my dress if I can lose another 20 pounds by the wedding...that would be PERFECT!
