I'm tired!!

Things are going well in general.  I am feeling more inspired to get my daily treadmill in, and I've been hitting my 10,000+ steps per day.  I've also been better about not blowing my daily points allowance.  I have stayed after school consistently the last several days and have been very productive.  I recently gave a presentation at work as the tech coach on a program my principal asked me to look into and I was pleased with the results...even got some nice comments afterward.  I am already working on another presentation for next Tuesday and feeling positive about it as well.  Prepping for these tech trainings and then giving the trainings is something I enjoy.  Instructional technology really is my "thing" but I often don't have time for it as we are so bogged down with standards and test scores.  I know it doesn't have to be one or the other, but the time it takes to make sure every little thing I do in my classroom is meeting some standard or increasing test scores is quite taxing and more work on an already large workload.  So staying after school has helped some and not as bad as I thought it would be, but it is impacting me like I knew it would.  There is only so many hours in the day so something has to give.  Tonight it was my stamina.  I was utterly drained when I left work.  I had an errand to run and did it rather robotically, my mind hung up on my bed and getting there ASAP.  I made sure my hubby was cooking so I wouldn't have to worry about and thankfully he had it handled.  So as soon as I got home I hit the bed and took a lil nap before dinner was ready.  Then I got to eat and just relax, doing nothing but watching tv with hubby, and reading to my son (not while the tv was on of course) curled up on my lap.  It was just what I needed to recharge.  I am particularly hung up on my weight loss journey as I really have been doing well with it and I am only 8 lbs away from my 10% WW goal.  I feel like it has been taking me too long to get there and I want to get there NOW!  I've been good about my eating and so-so about the treadmill, so I hit it hard tonight to make up for not hitting it at all last night when I really should have.  I would really like to meet my 10% goal by the new year and I think I can if I really set my mind to it.  I WANT THIS!  TIRED OR NOT! :)
