Today was</span> <span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">the 100th day at school!! Great things to look forward to! This means we are more than 1/2 way done with this school year! I can't wait till summer break (i'll stop bragging for those non-teachers!) </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial;">The things i'm excited for in February: </span><br />
<ol><li><span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial;">Valentine's Day</span></li>
<li><span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial;">Josh's 30th Birthday</span></li>
<li><span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial;">Great happy hours with friends</span></li>
</ol><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Arial;">For Valentine's day, since we are an old married couple, Josh & I usually don't go crazy. So this year, I thought I would put a small note & present in his car every day leading up to Valentine's Day. So, I started the present today with the most adorable note ever. I think it's a sweet way to start off his day. (Pictures will follow once he gets all of his days). I saw the idea on pinterest (of course!) </span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;">Thanks for checking out my new blog! I decided that I wanted to try to record my journey through my new years goal of a healthy 2012! I have a lot of reasons why I wanted to try & lose weight, so I figured this would be a great accountability for me to give ideas & thoughts. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;">A few blog disclaimers...this is my first blog! I'm sure it will be choppy & incorrect until I get the hang of this. Please bare with me as I learn the ins & outs. My goal is to try & blog one time a week. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;">A little bit about myself...My name is Meghan. I'm a 20 something happily married teacher. I grew up in NY and met my husband, Josh, in college in western PA. We now currently live in a small town on the Eastern Shore of Maryland in our first home with our awesome golden retriever Linus. I'm a die hard sports fan..I love the Pittsburgh Steelers, NY Yankees, Pittsburgh Penguins & the Pittsburgh Panthers. I'm overly sarcastic & use humor in every situation possible. I rarely take life seriously, I love to have a good time & try to look at everything positively. Long story short (I can talk forever!) here I am ready to embark on a great weight loss journey for 2012! Here's some of my goals & motivation. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;">My first goal would be to compete in a 5-k. I'm hoping to do the color run in NYC on August 25th.</span><br />

</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;">I think that gives me a great amount of time to get in shape & great motivation! Check out the website here <a href="http://thecolorrun.com/">Color Run 2012</a></span><br />
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;">My first "weight loss" project is going to be this motivational/visual jar for pounds lost & pounds to go. I've seen this 100 different ways on pinterest. (I love pinterest btw!) </span><br />
