Introduction Text I may have fallen off track, but I'm not out of the game! After losing over 120 pounds, I moved to a new city, started teaching full-time at an elementary school and taking classes full-time for my master's degree. I was stressed and my mental health was bottoming out. I gave up on myself and let myself get distracted from my goals, and gained all the weight back. ugh...but now I'm back. I've put a ton of effort into my mental health and now I'm more motivated than ever to reach my goals! So far, 100 lbs down! I am a Done Girl. I am DONE hiding. I am DONE with negativity. I am DONE with giving up. I am DONE eating to fill emotional holes. I am DONE missing opportunities. I am DONE hating myself. I am DONE selling myself short of my full potential. I am a DONE Girl!

I teach 1st grade in Minnesota. I just moved to a new town and for the first time, am living on my own.

I have quite the list of hobbies! I love reading, but I feel like I never have time for it. I also love music. I play the flute and piano and whatever other instruments are lying around. I also really love theater and going to plays and musicals. My favorite musical is a toss up between Rent, Les Mis and Wicked. I really enjoy going to movies with my family and watching netflix at home (I really love documentaries). I also really love craft projects (and quilting) :-)
