Pharmacology

Started that a day or so ago. It's not as scary as I imagined. I still have trouble with conversions but im going to get this! Ready for clinicals next month!

And my wedding! Going to buy the decorations this week. That's what we decided on for centerpieces! Can't wait! So many exciting things coming up soon =)

Spoke too soon

So this weekend I ate aweful and didn't work out. I work 12 hour shifts at a hospital and was so busy my hips were hurting so bad by the time I got home I couldn't move. Today is a new day new start I'll do better!!

Proud!!

Yesterday I worked out on the bike thing for 15 minutes it didn't have batteries so that's all I know. So today I put batteries in that bad boy and got on.
4.2 miles, no slower than 18 mph up to 28 mph in 12.35 minutes! burnt 85.5 calories
For breakfast I had a bowl of special k cereal with 2% milk and a glass of orange juice. For lunch I made a turkey and pepperjack cheese sandwich It was delicious.

So I'm proud of myself I'm going to try to keep it up and do it at least once a day during my lunch break. Wish me luck!! I'm excited and feel amazing even though I'm pooped! Loving it =)

What's a hobby?

Looking at other blogs and it seems like most of these people have hobbies and probably don't work. Is it possible to work full time be in nursing school full time mother of 2 planning a wedding and still have a hobby?

I don't think so.

I'm not really creative and I'm basically always busy. It's kind if frustrating and stuff but it is what it is. Maybe some day I'll have "me" time, whatever that is and be able to just sit back relax and find something fun to do that makes me happy and feel peaceful.

Until then,

Bring on the stress and the hectic busy schedule..

If you're also a busy person, are you still able to have a hobby? If so, what is it? If not, what do you wish was your hobby??

Helping with our hands healing with our hearts

I can't ever think of titles for blogs. I really just kind of ramble never really have a purpose for my blogging. I'm not really on a special diet or anything.

Nursing school is going great. Start clinicals in MARCH! Can you say heck yes??! I'm already almost done with my contract for the next two months. Can I get a hell yeah!?

Hand washing/oral care presentation for the first grade the end of this month. Trying to get everything put together for that. Any ideas? I bought tooth erasers, tattoos, stickers and door hangers. Bought a trifold just have to get creative.

Which I'm not.

Wedding is... Well I'm kinda getting panicky. I have no decor no table cloth no anything really. Sent out invites! That's about it? have to pay off the place this month and get the cake ordered. Oh so stressful. Hoping it all comes together nicely!

So ready to marry the man of my dreams though. =) I've been waiting for this my whole life and never thought it'd ever finally happen. Couldn't be happier =)

So ready for my life to be in my hands. I'm gonna own life, life will be MY biotch!

That is all.

Hey Joe

Well today has been a long long day. I missed school because Adalyn is sick, she has had a high fever off and on and has an ear infection. She has done nothing but sleep all day. And did I use this time to my benefit? Not really, I took a long nap with her, worked on some homework and that is IT. I'm such a bum. I haven't ate today though, which isn't good really lol. It's prbably worse than overeating. 651 Adalyn say3s hi! She is starting to feel better, YAY!

No new plans or anything. I think I'm going to make an extremely unhealthy dinner, 0mashed potatoes, gravy and fried chicken and maybe throw in some hush puppies. I really am not even in the mood to cook.

I did some skills yesterday, PASSED, whoo hoo. Will be doing more tomorrow! Have to insert cath, apply warm and cold pack, administer a soap suds enema and then I think I will be finished. Yesterday I placed an NG tube, trache care, and suctioning. Fun fun! Can't wait for the end of the year for me to be an LPN and get into RN school!

Working on getting my credit better, which right now it's about 635-685 which probably for my age isn't too bad. Paying of a credit card I had when I was a teenager. Yeah, I know I should have had it done a long time ago. That's really all that is negative on my credit so I'll have it paid of next month, it'll still be on my credit but it will at least make it a little better.

So I'm going to get started on dinner, finish cleaning the house and maybe I'll manage to work out. I also have quite a bit of studying to do still since I've been a bum today. Never managed to get my granny gear on today, I feel lost!!

AH!

So I'm thinking about how much I have going on right now. I've narrowed it down to about three major things going on; planning a wedding, nursing school, and losing weight. Only one is working out perfectly for me! Who would guess nursing school is probably the easiest thing I've done? Loving it.

I mentioned a few posts before about receiving my wedding invitations that were not done right. I took them to tech to have them fix it, and they misspelt three words.
Which now leaves me with approximately 200 invitations I can't use. haha. So a nurse I work with fixed them, I hope, I haven't seen them but at this point I really don't care?! She is sending them out for me, whew, what a relief. I was wanting to get them out mid January. I'm not too late, but I was beginning to feel a little panicky. I still haven't figured out table settings or anything like that. I still have a ton to get together. Lord help me.

I'm pretty sure I have a food addiction. Just curious how you fix that. Is there rehab? I may need it.
I really, USUALLY, don't even overeat. My BIGGEST problem is that when I was younger I would completely starve myself. I don't eat consistently. Sometimes I go with eating one meal a day and nothing else. I counted my calories for awhile and realized I GENERALLY do not even going over the 1200 and if I do it's pop, which I'm working on cutting out completely. Trying to quit with the empty calories. It's rough lol. Still wearing my grandma gear though, feels good actually.

Reflect~
1. Nursing school is a breeze.
2. Wedding planning advice: Think very hard before picking your bridesmaids (this I learnt back in December), hire a wedding planner, just when you think you may be finished, you're not.
3. My name is Charli, and my addiction is food.
4. I feel best when I'm in my granny gear.
