Taryn's Triumphs
this is my journey to lose 100 lbs, become an effective an inspirational teacher, and achieve balance (work/fun) (work/family) (active/relaxed) in my life.
I have lofty goals but the balance is the most important. I am back to school striving to become a good teacher but do not want to neglect my daughter in the process. It is easy to confuse priority and urgency and I am still figuring that one out. Above all I don't want to give up on my health.

My Goals:
My goals are to lose 100 lbs, become an effective teacher, and keep my debts as low as possible.
My mini goals are to lose 10% of my weight, stay on top of my courses without having to cram at the end and put it into practice when I am teaching, and this summer do as much overtime as possible and get my credit cards down as low as possible.
Personal Information:
I am a mother, and mature student. I am learning to be a teacher which is all consuming at times and am constantly searching for balance in my life. I would like to have the energy to teach high school effectively and would like to enjoy my daughter's youth before it is gone.
