Hey Cannon,

Just wanted to wish you a good night rest - and a good weekend now I am at it. Congrats on the progress, babysteps will get you there too. And you know, you need the small victorys too, it all helps in the long run:)

You know Cannon, you really need to print this out and tape it to your bathroom mirror.

Yes, the scale will cooperate - and you have made huge life style changes along the way!

If we keep listening to you...we'll never see ourselves in the bathroom mirror again! :p :p :p My mirror is COVERED with strips of paper, my daughter thinks I'm nuts...she might be right!! LMAO Love ya M!

Keep up the great work Cannon, but most importantly that great attitude of yours!!!
 
Hey Cannon, just stopping by to see how you're doing? School's goin' well? My munchkins are pretty good this year---again I have the biggest band in the district (which isn't saying too much...55 members is small for a 'normal' band), my band is even bigger I'd say 3 times as big as the high school band. That's just not right, but hey urban districts are tough right? Keep in touch!
 
Thanks for all the support folks. I hope to have a good week after 2 crummy ones, but I know it takes work. I no longer have stress as an excuse/ cause so this week I'm definitely going to try for the straight and narrow :)


Kaitie--Hey school is rough this year. The kids are just way too chatty and don't listen. I got a bit spoiled by last year's class. There are some real jerks this year. I'm also trying to finish my masters, take the test for my administrative certificate, and organiza a coup to place in two competent administrators when my principal retires next year. That's great to hear about your band. We used to have a great one before I got there, but 55 musicians will certainly keep you on your toes
 
Howdy Cannydoodle!! Hope your week turns out to be a good one - at least the extra stress is out of the way. Have a great Monday!!
 
Cannon, I'm right there with you! Let's make this the best week of October! :) We can do it. If I get to my goal for this week I think I am going to change my song on Myspace (yes, i am a dork, i have a myspace) to that cat walk song...then we can all sing it together:

I'm too sexy for my shirt, too sexy for my shirt, so sexy it huuuuuurts!

Oh yeah, we rock.

PS-sorry i'm such a dork! ;)

Hey Cannon,
Here's to better weeks ahead!!

OHD - as for the taped messages on the mirror - becareful what you tell yourself...it works ;)

I used to stutter very badly when I was a kid. The speech therapist had me write positive affirmations to myself and tape them to the bathroom mirror.

Things like: "I speak well in front of people" "People enjoy hearing what I have to say"

Years later, long after I quit stuttering, my mother blurts out that she finally understood why I never shut up...I brainwashed myself into believing that I speak well in front of people and that people enjoy hearing what I had to say.

Even when they didn't ;)

Positive affirmations work wonders!
 
Thanks for being so supportive everybody. I had a good day today. I got up this morning and the scale was ver cooperative. Then despite a Monday I survived school well enough. I did not get my 7 hours sleep unfortunately, but I feel back on track :)
 
For an urban school, its Heaven. However, I am teaching in a big city school system so it can be pretty rough between dealing with social problems and lots and lots of bureacracy.
 
Hey Cannon,

Glad you had a good day with the scale, sooner or later it had to give up and go down:) Well Hope you have a great day tomorrow.
Oh an good luck with the coup, I know how irritating it can be to have incompetent people running an institution. I went to a folk high school (I am not sure the term is right, but thats what my dictionary tells me) for 6 months and just after the semester ended the school went bankrupt. Its been an independent school for over 200 years and after 3 years with that headmaster the finances was screewed up... So good luck with the coup:)
 
Thanks Mahatt. In some ways this week feels a bit easier just because of the lack of stress. I really want to start making that scale cooperate, but even through the rough weeks I'm really satisfied with how I've done.
 
Hi Cannon!!! Glad this week is off to a better start!!! Glad you are staying on track!!! The scale WILL move for you!! I'm doing some positive thinking for you:D .
 
Sometimes I think we forget to celebrate ourselves and how far we've come. It is really easy to do when you're looking at a long road ahead, but having been at this since June I definitely see very positive changes in myself. For those who lost their way along they way, I thank you all for the support. It really makes a difference. When I'm at a weak point and thinking of giving in, checking my diary for support is one of the first things I do now.
