So from my last post I added into my resolution to become a thinner healthier me! I know a resolution many make at the beginning of every new year but by Feb, many have fallen of the band wagon. However, I have not! If anything I am more motivated than ever! I am down 10lbs from the start of my journey (Which was probably mid way through the second week of Jan.). I am still at the beginning of my journey but I am still very excited! I am not only trying to get down to the weight and size Ive always wanted to be but I am training for Atlanta Iron Girl (Which consists of 1/3 mile swin, 18 mile bike ride, and a 3 mile run). I still have alittle anxiety when I discuss it but I am more than sure I will be prepared for it.
However, Aflac is not sponsoring it this year, Im very proud to be apart of this event with my workplace behind me. I am even more excited about my wonderful peers that I work with that will be doing it with me.... They are (along with my wonderful husband and family, and CANDICE :) my true motivators. Thank you Stacey, Kelly, Katie, Brittany, Kari, Lauri, and more Im sure. We are going to do amazing in may and we totally make 3 East look good! What a wonderful place to work and wonderful people!!!
Now to be alittle honest I think my biggest set back is this.....
You got it..... the good ole bathroom scale! I find myself getting on it atleast once a day!!! Arrrrggh!! Not healthy I know! Im working on this! Im going to try an avoid the scale and only get on it weekly. That way I can stop focusing on the numbers one by one and hopefully just be happy with the way I feel and they way my clothes feel on me! :) Wish me luck!!!
So since Im kind of all over the place I will talk alittle more about Iron Girl... well mainly just my bike :)
This is very much like mine, but the gold is like a baby blue/silver and there is pink fuji writing! I love it! It is sooo pretty! Ive only really taken if for one 10 mile bike ride with my husband. However, I know there will be many more. I just have to get over my fear of falling. Crazy I know, but I truly am accident prone! I mean when we went to performance and found the bike... I went on a test ride in the store of my new bike.... a took out a whole pilet of helments! And got a nice knot on my chin! Talk about embarrassing!!! And to make matters worse we couldnt even get the security tape so we could atleast turn my embarrassment into like $10,000. Talk about bummer!!!
Another journey I have taken is at work. I have started to charge. For those of you who arent in the nursing field, that means Ive been the Charge nurse for some of the shifts I work. Scary at first but I feel like Im slowly getting the hang of it, plus Im really excited that we are getting the Resource role back! That will help the charge nurse role out alot!!! So wish me luck here too!! :)
Soooooo verizon has decided to join the new era by finally getting the iphone!! And I am sooo excited! I just got my email today saying mine was being shipped!!! Dear iphone, please hurry and get here!!! Thanks! Amanda
