Hello buddies! We are headed into the second week of February, I can't believe how fast the time is flying.

Diet and exercise have been 110% so I'm not entirely sure about my weigh in yesterday. Last week only one pound, this past week only .4, trying to stay positive and stick with the program. Hopefully next weeks weigh in will remind me why I'm doing this.

Clinical this past weekend went well. I know I still have areas I need to improve on, and am actually contemplating asking my instructor to assign me two patients instead of one for our next weekend. I had the opportunity to round with the hospital supervisor on Saturday. She was an all around wonderful lady, 28+ years in nursing and one of her pieces of advice stuck with me "it's the things that scare you the most that you need to jump into". Well I want to be a great nurse, that is my goal. Everything in nursing is scary, it's a lot of responsibility and just starting out can be very overwhelming. I figure I might as well take the opportunity to learn as much as I can while I have an instructor to fall back on. Instead of four more patients (aka learning opportunities) over the next eight weeks I could interact with eight. We will see what my instructor says.

So it was clinical all weekend. Yesterday I took a day off from the gym. I still had to work but I desperately needed some time to sit around and do nothing. Plus I was salty about the weigh in lol. Today I started with a morning trip to the gym. Forty minutes on the elliptical followed by a mile around the indoor track. Walking, I don't run because my knees are already jacked up. Going to keep on keepin' on with the diet/exercise. Hopefully next week will show me something worth celebrating.

Have a great day buddies!!
