366 calories on elliptical.. 146 average heart rate. Thought I would have done better, but I'll take it!

Almost another week down. I can do this, and I know with time, it will get easier. I am just waiting for when fate decides when the time is right. Today I got a letter from a parent of a particularly challenging student (you guys know which one- my little friend who needs .. well .. "protective holding") complimenting me, so that's one huge positive of the day! The letter went to the Sp.Ed. director and principal, so woohoo! I also was nominated to represent the Sp.Ed. department (for the entire district) on the superintendent's leadership cadre.

Going off to collapse now!
