The First Day of School and Other Thoughts

The first day of school has to be one of the longest days of the year! It's definitely an adjustment getting up early and actually working all day after having such a lazy summer. The kids acted great, but keep in mind it's only the first day. I have great hopes for this year since so far I have low numbers in all my classes and I've heard great things about the 7th grade group.

I'm already feeling overwhelmed, as if there isn't enough time in the day to do everything I would like. I'm already thinking 'when am I going to do this?' and 'when am i going to do that?'
Hopefully, this weekend I can catch my breath and get everything under control.

Another reason I'm feeling a little overwhelmed is that I've recently found out I have pre-diabetes which has been causing a lot of fatigue, weight gain, high cholesterol, etc. Yesterday, the doctor put on a medication that is supposed to help regulate the glucose and insulin levels, and it should help me lose weight. I'm really working hard on changing the way I eat and exercising every day. I'm very proud of what I've done so far and I think it's going to pay off soon. It's just a little stressful knowing that I can't just run out to McDonald's or somewhere and grab something quick to eat. I'm going to really have to work on planning my meals so that I can be sure I'm eating healthy.

I hope everyone is having a lovely week! I'm going to bed soon! Night, Bloggers!

The diet stuff will come easier. I have been on medicine a year and a half now and it really does help. The fatigue is the worst though. Some of your overwhelmed feelings could be coming from that too. And stress is the absolute worst thing for your blood suger, even worse than eating a whole cake !! Just take a deep breath and everything will get done. Hope you have a great weekend. And get some rest !!
