When you’re packing and you get distracted by cute pictures of yourself... yes, that is Jim Varney (Ernest). (at Crowell, Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/ByNucopFReLAX7pEnsYwb7M4ZKEnhrO_ELQSpA0/?igshid=6jl3hvwm3cuw

I worried when I got in to this that there would be no fast and quick #protein options. While you will pay $2-$3 more every time you want a #lowcarbdiet snack, I only eat in moderation now. Meaning, this bag of “cheese chips” will last me a while. When you are at a gas station and you need to eat, know you have options other than chips. #foodiefinds #gasstationeats #gasstationfinds #soapbox #incredibleshrinkingme (at Yesway) https://www.instagram.com/p/ByK48yfl6At6F4jqBuRiojo6i8lGvmrFYTbumQ0/?igshid=1sirhcr89qeeg

Perfection doesn’t exist. Most people will make mistakes after mistakes before they finally get it right. Never stop fighting. Sometimes the journey is more important than the payout. https://www.instagram.com/p/ByEtYCaliFzZhOdUo4yTnU4HKzEJQ8dtBm7Tvs0/?igshid=14cbbpcz0ducd

#gamechanger... low carb+protein chips. For those that like to dip... FYI... good with hummus. #lowcarbdiet #keto #ketotransformation #incredibleshrinkingme (at The Colony, Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bx6P4rzF0e5rh0d288_htXZPr3hDkHIT8Z1MBc0/?igshid=1thg2r9nao979

Classroom packing. Cleaning out my “mom” closet as my students call it. This calls for a rendition of Hamlet... to be... or not to be...(don’t ask me why I have a skull). #dramateacherlife #teacherlife #cleanclassroomalmost #moving #endofyear #twomoreweeks https://www.instagram.com/p/BxS8eBYgT13pCS2DdNWr5168Tkd6wtwjF7l7no0/?igshid=1m7f6kbhlqb0t

If you are a Game of Thrones fan, check out the latest Entertainment Weekly. I’m not normally a fan of magazines but I highly enjoyed these articles. Winter is HERE and it starts next month! #idonthavehbo #amazonprime #gameofthrones #winteriscoming #winterishere #valarmorghulis #entertainmentweekly #got #ew https://www.instagram.com/p/BvLH9bzFWToE2k5llVUyXcAzxZT5LJ0veic7oY0/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=p5npqqu4l23u

An odd thing happened today. I had been having kind of a bad day and nothing that I’ve set out to do today has gone my way. A woman randomly stopped me today and gave me these three bracelets. She said that she had a gut feeling that I needed them. There are signs everywhere and we just have to be open to them. #perspective ✌🏼 https://www.instagram.com/p/Bu4hAZKFoeMPf-HId2bqHR_I9SnKjDDHfq0L-M0/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=18v8a094saxyf
