Neurotic Nurse gets a Fitbit!

Totally got my Fitbit Flex today after work. I want it to charge so I can start tracking my sleep tonight. I need to remember to put new batteries in the scale for tomorrow.

New Job Paleo Whole30 and Life

12 days into my Whole30 and it hasn't been strict, but it isn't a wash either. I definitely feel better. And I'm certainly not deprived. This new job/career has really improved my sleep, attitude, and health. I am so thankful for everyone who has helped and supported me the last 2 years.

I'm still afraid of Crossfit, but by the end of the month I will have tried it. I NEED MY HEALTH. No more compromises.

Well I have 2 days left of General Orientation so I better go clock in.

2012

Welcome 2012. Let's make it a good year! Finish nursing school, start a new job, get back to normal.

To End the Stagnation

An Update........
Okay, so it's been nuts since school has resumed and my work schedule blows. I have 1 day off every 7, which isn't really a day off at all considering all of the housework and other sundry chores I have to accomplish in that single day. Aubreigh is not handling it well. I barely see her anymore. My relationship is strained at home simply because we really don't see each other.

25% of the semester is over. Technically I have a B- average. We've only had 1 test in each of our courses. I just wrapped up my forever long Med/Surg rotation at WMH. On to SMH next week for a mere 2 weeks. I don't know how I feel about everything just yet.

C25K is all messed up. I think when I run on Tuesday I'm doing W8D1. It's been tough finding time to run. When I ran yesterday it was ugly. I also think Aubreigh was kind enough to give me her cold.

At work I pretty much work every Saturday, Sunday, and Monday. I get up at 4 am 5 days out of 7. It downright blows. I try really hard to be in bed by 10pm, but some days I don't get off of work until after 10, so that makes it even worse.

40 DAYS UNTIL MY FIRST 5K!!!!!!!!

I know I'll finish, but it might be in 59:59 at this point. I know I can walk 3 miles in 45 minutes. The only time I've done the 3.1 miles I did it in 40 minutes. So somewhere between 59:59 and 40 minutes will be my finish time.

As for weight loss, the stress is making me hold water and all of that nonsense. I was at -26# the other day. I am solidly a size L in shirts now, which makes me happy. No tight fitting shirts, no depends on which brand. None of that. Just size L and fits like it should. I *think* I'm down 8 pants sizes at this point, but I haven't been brave enough to test that one out. I'm sitting in the size 7 sizes from where I started and my belt is definitely working hard to hold my pants up.

I'm about 2 weeks out from my 27th birthday. I'd like to be at -30# that day. Just to have a nice round number on my birthday. I doubt I get it, but hey, it'd be great.

Send some happiness my way

Stuff & Things

So C25K is going well. Need to step up the strength training though. New pilates mat is awesome! Makes doing ab work at home easy.

School has started well. We shall see.

Work is work. Enough said.

Week 5 Day 2 postponed until tomorrow.
