Week 1: Stop buying stuff Update

- January 10, 2021

I am honestly surprised I am only a day off for posting my first week update. How did this magic happen?? So! It's been one week since I have bought anything I didn't NEED (school supplies, groceries, and spices have been purchased.) The day after I made this pledge to myself, I had to go get some spices that we were out of. I like to get them from Penzy's, a super awesome spice store over on Manchester. If you haven't been, go. Quality spices makes all the difference in cooking. Anyways, when I was out, I passed 5 different stores I wanted to go into. All 5 stores would have been full of things I absolutely did NOT need. However, all awesome stores, and many of them small businesses which I will eventually absolutely support. One of my goals down the line is to support one small business a week. But we'll get there. It is also not a good idea to just be wandering around stores right now because I am bored or need to decompress, you know, because of Covid. But t...

Day 1

- January 12, 2014

So today I officially started a fitness challenge with my friends, and decided I wanted to blog about my experience. I am a Montessori Elementary teacher at a small private school in St Louis. I have the best job EVER. I am in my second year of teaching and I really enjoy it! I am AMI Elementary Trained, and am working on getting my MAE in Character Education at Lindenwood University. I am 28 years old, 5'6" and 224 pounds. I am what is often described as a thick girl. I carry a lot of weight in my thighs, hips, and butt. I remember the first time I was told I actually had a butt, and that it was a good thing. I was in the 9th grade at a school just outside of south east DC. I was walking down the hallway and my boyfriends best friend yelled after me saying "Girl! You got a home grown ass!!!" Needless to say, I was confused. I have come to love the fact that I am thick. I won't ever be a string bean, and nor do I want to. Being super skinny isn't bad t...

January Week 3: Stop Buying Stuff Update

- January 23, 2021

Soooooo I missed last week’s update—my bad. We had a crazy weekend and then every time I thought about writing an entry, something exploded and I’d get distracted. So here we are at the completion of week three of only buying things I need goal. And I’ve got to say, I’ve actually really enjoyed the challenge. I have absolutely had to stop myself from buying things over the last two weeks and sometimes, it's been hard. Someone would talk about a product and I’d want it and then have to stop myself from buying it. Sometimes I’d be like “Sweet!! You are a productive and strong person for stopping yourself from making that unnecessary purchase!” Other times I’d say “Mother effer, why did you make this god forsaken goal—give me my freaking Treat Yo’ Self mug and fancy hot coco mix—TAKE MY MONEY FOOLS!!!!” Then I’d get strange looks from my boss or whoever was around and they’d pretend to not know me. The cool thing that has happened is this: There have been many...
