The Jouney to Success Continues

Here I am once again. I ll probably fall off again but I am going to make myself a promise to try and blog as much as I can the next 20 months...kinda like a stress reliever. So for the past nine years...literally... I have been working on and off towards becoming a Registered Nurse. After high school I tried the retail world and enjoyed it very much, didnt enjoy the part where my check went right back to my company. I pursued that career for about 6 years. After moving back from San Francisco ( where I went to college) I decided Women studies what I majored in and Working retail was not what I wanted to do the rest of my life. I knew in the back of my head I would become a nurse. Just took me a while getting there. In June of 2009 when the economy hit rock bottom and sales at Nordstrom were horrible, I decided to leave and pursue my career as a Nurse. So where does a girl with no medical experience and 6 years of Retail even begin? I was so lost and had no idea what to do or where to start. I had Anatomy and Physiology done and needed one more prereq to be able to start a program. But no Hospital wanted to hire me with 6 years of Nordstrom Expereince. So what I did next was probably the best move ever!

I decided to become a CNA!


Stay Tuned for my journey as a CNA... :)

Belated Weigh in Wednesday for 05/09

Lately I have been getting a day off in the week which has been pretty nice, because I could use some me time. Last Wednesday I weighed in at 162.4 I had gone back up from the 158. But I didn't feel bad about myself I sucked it up and carried on. I decided to go on a long run. It was amazing and such a nice day out. It was just me and pandora.I ran 7.12 miles... Pictures below to show you... It felt so good to get out there and run. I came home with a nice sunburn. I called them my battle wounds. Until next Wednesday... xoxo B

BLOG MAKEOVER

The Journey to being in the best shape of my life.

I m on a mission and the train is going whole speed to get ti my goal. I was talking with one of the Doc's today and was asking him a few questions and he looks at me and says your 5'3 and you need to be at 116lbs. I looked at him like he was crazy, but he is the specialist,with the MD at the end of his name. So with that being said and realizing i was 2 points away from being obesed on the BMI chart I thought I had hit rock bottom in regards to weight and it was time to make a change. So I took out a piece of paper and began jotting down some ideas. I broke down the life into long term and short term goals. Long Term: Weigh 116lb Feel and Look Healthy Be able to wear whatever I want, without being insecure about how I look in it. Change my dietary habits. Transition into healthier eating. Become a runner and eventually run my first half marathon Stay AWAY FROM COKE AND SODA, TORTILLAS, and WHITE BREAD. Short Term: Loose 2 lbs a week. Count my calories using fitness pal app. Follow a healthy eating plan for seven days to jump start my mission. Run 20 miles a week spread out through 6 days. 1 day for rest. DRINK MORE WATER!!! Feel free to comment any advice is always welcomed :) What are your goals for becoming a healthier you this year? xoxo B
