After four long years and a 20 weight gain, I completed nursing school. All praise and glory be to God! If it had not been for him I would have never made it. Now that I'm on a new journey in my life I pray that he puts me in a postion that I may be used for his glory. I'm not 100% sure of were I want to work , but so far I absolutely love ICU and NICU. There are open positions at the local hospital in my area so I will keep you posted.

I woke up this morning thinking what a blessed year this has been for me. I’ve had good days and not so good days, but I’ve never lacked anything. Even though my money had gotten lower than it’s ever been, but you know what, It never ran out.

When I reflect back I am so forever grateful for all of GOD’S GRACE, that he has shined my way. As an adult I appreciate how every Sunday I had to be in church, it taught and prepared me for things to come. Now that I am old and faced with life’s storms I am well prepared for battle.

I don’t know what 2010 has in store for me, but I do know it will be GREAT. I anticipate that so many doors will be opening up for me as I prepare my life, to helping saves someone else’s life. Pray for me this year that I will become the best Nurse that I can be.

As we face the future together, remembering and learning from things of our past. Remember FAITH, PERSERVERNCE, AND HAVING A GOAL can take you beyond your dreams. There will be mountains, storms, set backs, people to hold you back, along the way. Your knee will get scraped, your feelings may get hurt, you’ll cry, and become discouraged. My advice to you would be to dry ur eyes, clean up your cuts, suck it up and keep on pushing. Because "THE BEST IS YET TO COME."


Much blessing’s to you and yours for the New Year.

Yes I've made it another day. The hardest part for me is getting  to the gym,but once I'm  there i absolutely love it. I can feel my stress subside as I'm working out and I actually leave happy. The only thing I have to improve on is taking my protein and drinking my water. I bought some Crystal light so hopefully that will help. I'm finally getting adjusted to my protein shakes. I really need to make sure to get those in each day in because even though I'm five years out my hair is still thin.

I"ve went back to the basics with watching the amount of white floor I intake. I haven't cut it compltely out, but I did limit it to dinner time. Today  for breakfast I ate eggs on an english muffin. Lunch I finished the other half of the english muffin. For dinner I had baked fish and green salad, so I didn't eat carbs because of the white floor earlier today. In between I'm having fruit, but some how i have to add the darn protein. I think what Im going to do is find some protein I can just mix with water instead of milk, that way i can get water and protein in at the same time....LOL

I actually did it... They say ACTION comes before MOTIVATION so I'm acting on reaching my weight lost goal of 10lbs gone before the start of next semester.

Wow...when i think back this year has went really fast. I just want to take a little time to reflect on the good and the not so good of 2009.

To start, I  started an 18 month accelerated nursing program that has been pretty intense, but with the Lord's help I've made it through the year. I only have 24 more weeks to go and I'm done. Through out the program I managed to gain ten pounds due to study with my study group. We study long hours and with those long hours comes the not so healthy snack food. In between classes I find myself eating fast foods and not picking healthy items off the menus. I have no regrets about the weight gain, because for me when I work  out I usually shed pounds easily, the hard thing is finding the time to work out.

The beginning of the year I found myself  in love, happy and engaged. The end of this year I'm happy, and single, wow I never predicted this ending. I'm in no ways bitter, I have so much to look forward to in 2010  so many doors and windows will be opening up, so I have no room for self pity.

So until next  post, see yaaa!!!!!

This quarter a managed to lose six pounds and gain pack three.My weight is continuing to go up and down. I was exercising pretty consistently, but with exams and finals I managed to lose track again. One good news is that I managed to pass my Peds rotation belieave me when I tell you it was tuff. I learned so much and enjoy working with children, but I'm glad to move on.

Next up is Psyche  I'm sure it will be interesting. I was just thinking I only have ten months left until I finish nursing school. I look back and I am humble to be able to get thus far. Now only if I can lose 25 lbs. I think I'm going to try that 5 day pouch test this weekend, I will update my results.

I'm back it's been a few months and things are starting to come together, nursing school  is awesome!!. This semester I am doing my peds rotation and so far so good. I'm feeling pretty  good today exspecially with the stamina to lose weight.  I've been getting pretty good and working out really hard and it's startingto show. My main thing is just managing to stay on track. I even changed my look and got my a short hair cut for the summer. I think it complements  my face.

I still have 16 lbs to lose in order to reach my goal, my plans are not to rush it and just take my time and do things the correct way.

Hopefully I'll be back in a coouple of weeks and have at least lost six more pounds, we'll see.
 

It's been a long time (years to be honest)  since I've been on OH, and so much has happened. In the midst of all the good, bad, the family deaths, my engagement, and being in Nursing school, I managed to gain weight. I have totally lost track of managing my eating habits. So today I decided to set my priorities in order and get back to being the slender me that I love so much.

Since I've had my surgery I have managed to gain 20 lbs back (totally not good) so before the number doubles I plan to go back to the basics and start my exercise routine. I'm starting out with small goals, that will ultimately lead to bigger ones. What's difficult for me is when I have 12 hours days because of school and being at the hospital, that's when it's difficult for me to attend the gym.

So I plan on setting small goals like, working out 3x a week, cutting unhealthy snacks out of my diet,  drinking more water, and hopefully losing five pounds in a month. So we'll see how I do this week.....wish me luck!
