Ok. So, worked a FABulous shift as charge nurse for my beloved ER. 12 great hours. The dilemma for a fine day in my ER isn't something overly complex or something that has to do with a life saved or lost (several of those happen regardless), but with being so busy and stressed that I grab what is available for sustenance and settle for less than the optimal nutritive choices. As I gear up for my challenge, I am even more acutely aware of how my poor choices will affect me.
So today, I ate cafeteria food: two scoops of hobo hash for breakfast, two hard boiled eggs (from home) for snack, the meatballs and jo jos from the cafeteria....and then a bite of ground beef once I got home. Not the best choices, but they are what they are. On the morrow, I will plan more accordingly. Take your food, silly. Don't eat the cafeteria food.
One day at a time, folks. One silly day at a time.

a new beginning
I know I haven't been the best blogger. You're supposed to write often and I write sporadically with inconsistency, etc. My thoughts come at inopportune times and I end up saying, "I will do it tomorrow." As a semi-professional (i don't get paid for it, so i can't go for the full 'professional') procrastinator, this is a common theme for me.
ALAS!! No longer!! I have accepted a challenge that will officially begin March 12, 2012. Several of my cohorts at work have accepted it as well so the journey will not be taken alone. It has been a long time coming; one I knew I should begin for quite some time. I have put it off till tomorrow for about a "million too many" days. And so, I have decided to journal my journey in my journal....my blog.
It is a 12 week challenge offered by, "Pierce County Match Up," that has accountability, prizes, and a sound program. It includes healthy eating, exercise, weight loss and taking the journey with your friends. For me personally, when this opportunity presented itself, it was much like being 9 months pregnant--or even over due---and KNOWING that you are about to face labor and delivery....and that there is no was around it. You have to do it to get the prize.
So, if you know me at all, you know I boast about healthy eating, exercise, healthy living, organics, gardening, family, etc.... Now is the time for me. I have been avoiding practicing what I preach for far too long!!! I am pregnant with ambition and the prospect of health and I need to do my Lamaze training and get ready for delivery. This time, I will deliver the shedding of 30 lbs, and take on daily habits that contribute to my healthy lifestyle.
Follow me, if you will, on this journey. I need all the encouragement I can get! I am eager to train and put in the hard work and it won't be easy! But it will certainly be worth it!!
Peace, love, and hippy beads,
Kies
