Cannon's Journal

Working out yesterday was great. I'm going to go to the gym right after school tomorrow and see what I can accomplish there. I can do this if I put the diet and the exercise together.
 
Well I don't know what to say other than I feel horrible about being away so much. School is pretty good. The people are nice, but I do miss my friends and I have that feeling of not knowing what to do a lot of the time.

1. My second day there I found out about the girl who wanted to cut herself.
2. Yesterday, a new kid was added to my social studies class. He's violently bi-polar and paranoid.
3. Today one of my students' probation officer came to school. I didn't know he had one, but I'm not surprised
4. Tomorrow is open house. I'll be there until 6:00 PM.
 
Wow, you have an interesting job. I didn't know you were a teacher, for some reason I thought you were a student. You have a cutter, a criminal, and a biopolarnoia in your class? Yikes!! Should make for an dramatic school year. It's sounds like a TV show.
 
Well I have not been around for along time, but I am back now, I am glad you are still sticking with it and congrates on the 80+ pound loss
 
Yeah, it definitely does sound like a television show MJB :)

Reaper, thanks. I think I finally have a nice loss this week for the first time in awhile :)
 
Hi Cannon. It's amazing what you teachers have to deal with, and how the rest of society dumps crap like NCLB on you. My wife is always telling me about her special kids too. She has one that just got transferred to her 3rd grade class, and he only recognizes 3 letters. She has to start with him at the Kindergarten level.

Hope you're doing well with your exercise program.

Have a great weekend!

Wow being a teacher comes with alot of stressful situations but I am sure you will do a gr8 job handling them properly!
GEEEEESH I am worse than you when you dropped by and said you have been scarce I have been to, and your one of my regulars lol :rofl:!
CONGRATS on hitting the gym I am trying to pick up my walking routine again.Keep up the good work and GL @ school,Tammy
 
yikes 3 letters? what are the parents thinking?

My kids were not learning at school to the standerd i wanted them to be at, so ive just started teaching them at home. ... but crikey ... 3 letters? :O
 
Weight is now at 380. This is the lowest I've been since I started trying to lose weight. I think I first hit 383 on mother's day. When the diet and the exercise work together things work great. Unfortunately, I seem to have one or the other going most of the time since May. Still, I'm thrilled to not only see the ticker moving in the right direction, but moving by 3 pounds.
 
I think I'm getting back into the swing of things. At least I hope I am. If I can get my eating and my exercise working together--look out.
 
Hi Cannon!! Wow!! I have missed some important messages from you! Yet more issues with the children in your class... "violently" bipolar, meaning or "extremely", or "including violent behaviour"? Paranoia would be very hard to handle. Is the child well medicated? Is there an extra assistant working with him?

Yay for getting the exercise in and the scales moving and the act together!!!!!!!!!!! Good for you!!
 
Violent as in he is violent. Yes, he's medicated, but its not helping. He's hospitalized for the next 2 weeks getting his medication right.
 
*crosses fingers*

If you think you have the potential for another good one, that counts anyway - cos it means you're doing the things you need to do!!! :D Well done!!!
 
Hey Cannon!

Sorry to hear you have a violent child to handle. I was just posting something in Tammy's diary about Indigo children, and I wondered what you thought, being a teacher and all.

I found these articles online the other day. I like these kinds of theories, makes my mind wander. What do you think about what they term indigo and crystal children? Do you think there is any truth to it? I can identify with many indigo characteristics. Anyhow, here it is.... some quotes and the links to the articles.

"Indigo children are part of the new generation of children who experience difficulty fitting into the education system and the social norm. They are often lonely and isolated due to the fact that they are misunderstood and unheard in their world. They would often prefer their own company or the company of like minded individuals, adults or the opposite gender."

"Indigos have a warrior spirit, because their collective purpose is to mash down old systems that no longer serve us. They are here to quash government, educational, and legal systems that lack integrity. To accomplish this end, they need tempers and fiery determination.

Those adults who resist change and who value conformity may misunderstand the Indigos. They are often mislabeled with psychiatric diagnoses of Attention Deficit with Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) or Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD). Sadly, when they are medicated, the Indigos often lose their beautiful sensitivity, spiritual gifts and warrior energy.........."
 
Well, I didn't lose weight, but at least I kept my 3 pound loss. There are a few places I was lazy and if I hadn't been I would have lost for the week. I'll do better next week :). MJB--I'll check out this links this weekend and let you know what I think.
 
Well, I think its happenned again. Having been here since June of 2006 I've seen a lot of dieters come and go. It seems like we've had another changing of the guard and some of the people who I have most counted on for support lately aren't posting anymore. Some of them continue and I really do appreciate their support. Now, its a question of making new friends and finding new support. I'm not really sure if I'm up to it, but I know this forum has been very good to me.
 
Hi Cannon! I don't post in my diary anymore, didn't have much to say as I'm maintaining my weight loss. Not easy, but I'm doing it. I've been following your progress. KEEP GOING!! You'll get there!!
 
Hi Joe! *big hug* Don't worry, one forum friend is here to stay. I did go away for a couple of weeks, but I'll always come back. :) I'm sooooo happy to hear you've lost some of those pesky pounds. Here's hoping for a great next weigh-in!
