So Far Off Track I Need A Map!!!

Hey all I know it has been forever since I last posted I swear this time though I will be posting way more often. It has been a crazy couple of months for me around here with school and all now that I have been away on clinicals. I'm getting ready to head back out for 2 more months at the hospital for school, so I'm hoping with all the extra walking around and movement I will get back on track in no time. I haven't been taking photos of my food in months, and I think that it really helped me stay on track last time with the whole losing weight and keeping myself in check so I have made a promise to myself that as soon as I go shopping tomorrow and get things stocked in the fridge I will be making healthier choices and publishing the evidence here online so all can keep me in check lol. I miss how I felt when I was doing so well recently I have putt a crap load of weight back on and I have been living in denial about it well NO MORE!!! I am back this time and refuse to let this get me down I know I have a long road ahead of me since I gained back like 50 pounds from the last time I was on here it's sad to say, but I know I can do this and keep it off for good this time I just needed to get my priorities straight and commit to it again. I hope all of you out there are having an easier time of it then I am!!! Hope to hear all your advice and motivation along this way this time just like last time it really helps a girl out!!

Back On Track Baby!! Kicking Ass!

So I lost 7 pounds last week... I was stressing about school and guy shit but I finally realized it wasn't worth letting myself get discouraged and eat over it. Instead I got my food plan right, and even got in some really great walks. I have been doing really well this week so far, and I'm hoping that by my Birthday in 2 weeks I will have lost a little more. Then I can really go out and have a good time! I'm hoping to be able to get on here more and vent it really seems to help clear my head on those days when shit is just going really wrong in my life. Hopefully I won't have to many more of those occasions since I have rid myself of some very unwanted drama in my life recently! I love you girls and you give me inspiration each day to kick this plans ass I love you for it!!

Back On Track...

So with school, and work my life has been so damn busy lately that I have had little enough time to sleep let alone exercise and eat right!! Today was the last straw though I got back on the scale after months of ignoring it and I have gained 15 pounds back!!! I know I can't afford to do WW right now, but I know how to eat healthy all on my own and honestly I think it will be easier just making smarter choices instead of counting all the time...

So as of this morning I made myself a healthy breakfast and took some soup with me to school instead of going out to eat like I have been for the past few months. When I got home I ate dinner instead of snacking before dinner and even managed to get out of the house for my first walk in 3 months almost!! The beach was amazing and I hopefully will be able to get in a walk each night now as long as the weather stays this nice. 

I'm done letting shit get in my way again I have to make time for me and what's important and honestly what's more important than my health I can't go to school or work if I'm dead right!!

Here to getting back on track ladies!!!!

Physics... Physics... & More Bleepin Physics!

So I just started my second class in my DMS program, and this one happens to be physics of acoustic instrumentation. Well let me tell you the day this class is over I will either be hanging my head in shame because I failed or out grabbing the biggest drink in the world to celebrate passing.. I don't think I have ever seen this much physics shoved into a month of class. Our book is well over 500 pages and it we will have to know it back to front in less then a month for our final.. I thought weight loss was going to be hard, but I would rather tackle that any day of the week when compared to physics for ultrasound! 

I must say though that since classes have started back up I have not been as good about cooking my meals at home, I have been eating out to much lately and my scrubs are starting to get tight :( I have decided that while I don't have the 40 dollars a month to spend on WW I will still do the online again even though I don't like it as much, so at least I have a way to keep track of my points. I also decided to make my physics notes online as a pdf file and upload it to my nook so I can read and study while on working out on the treadmill when I get a chance. 

I bought the Wii Zumba a month back or so and while I like the dancing I think they go way to quickly through the basics and you really don't have that much of a chance to pick up on the steps they should really slow that down for us since we are beginners here!!! Oh well the music is a lot of fun anyway!

Class..Class..Class..

I don't even think I can put into words how excited I am to finally be starting my core classes for my DMS degree (Diagnostic Med. Sonography). I have been waiting for 6 months for classes to begin and today they finally started!! I knew this class was going to be a lot of work, but I guess until I was in class looking at all the things that we will be covering in the first month alone I really had no clue how in depth this class was going to be.

My professor seems pretty awesome, and her former students all seem to love her and come back to say hi on their breaks from other classes, so that seems to be promising! I have a long 16 month haul in front of me, but I know now that I have nights off to study and focus on nothing but school I will do really well. I don't want to make time rush by any faster that it already is, but I just really can't wait until I'm done with classes and have my degree life will be mine then and I can really get the hell out of Daytona and onto something different for a while.

I just learned today that once your a registered Sonographer you can work all over the world because it's a world wide recognized degree... Hello Ireland, Greece, Australia, New Zealand... and many more amazing places I have been dying to see my whole life... I'm so happy I decided to go in this line of work I can see it being an amazing career choice.
