So I know I am a terrible update blogger, so therefore I am going to really try this time. I have had a lot going on the past few months!!! I am so excited to share everything!
Two weeks ago I started a teacher certification course through Region XI in Fort Worth. Pretty much this program will prepare me to be a teacher by this next fall! I am so busy because there is so much work to be done for the program! I have an online class, an Integrated Field Experience course, a Harry Wong book study and the classes themselves to go to. I am also in the process of getting ready to start substitute teaching. I have never done this before, or been in charge of kids before, so hopefully all will go well. I am so excited to start this chapter of my life, because I am truly passionate about it. I don't think I have ever felt this way about anything! I am also in the process of finding out more about becoming bilingual in Spanish. I really want to be fluent, so that I can teach at a school that is bilingual, and also to learn more about their culture and eventually travel and teach English. I just find the Spanish culture one of the most interesting, and I love the people I meet! I have my TEXES test on February 6th. This is the test that determines whether or not I can be a teacher. I have to pass it with an 80% or higher! So please please please be praying I pass it the first time!!!!
Another thing going on in my life is I am working out again. I worked out a total of 5 days last week! I really enjoy working out, and would like to keep doing so! It makes me feel and look great! I also packed on a few pounds from eating too badly at Christmas and just in general.
I am also reading a book called The Kind Diet by Alicia Silverstone. It is pretty much about going Vegan and then giving up all processed foods and all sugars. I find this very very interesting, because I have always wondered about health risks of eating or not eating meat. The way she describes everything is great! Like she puts it in terms that anyone can understand. It just makes me so excited to actually try and see what that kind of life could be like! So starting tomorrow I am going vegan for the next 4 weeks. That means no meat, dairy or any animal products. I want to do it not only for the animals but also for all the amazing health benefits. They say vegans have a lower body weight, better immune system and are at a lower risk for heart disease and cancer! Sounds win win to me! I will update daily to tell you how it is going. I am sure it is going to be hard because I have never done anything like this before! So we'll see how it goes!
I hope you enjoy this beautiful day outside! Check out the kind life website for more info on the book and what I am about to start doing! thekindlife.com
