Joining The Challenge Today!

Hello everyone! Where do I start? LOL! So many things that I need to work on...sleep, physical activity, nutrition, weight loss, anxiety. That's just off the top of my head after a long week. Nursing is my third career; administrative assistant for the government, then a preschool teacher. Many life events led me to nursing and it's my last career! One of the duties that I enjoy and take very seriously is patient education. On the same hand, I'm a firm believer in "practice what you preach!" During nursing school and my first year on the job, I was on point. Very healthy. But I had to work very hard at maintaining the healthy lifestyle. Every single day. It did not come naturally. Although I know exactly what to do, and what not to do, I suffer from a compulsive personality. It's been a journey coming to this realization. My husband and 15 year old daughter are very active and all I do is make sure they are taken care of. My husband and daughter are very supportive and are constantly telling me to take time for myself, but I don't. Yesterday, I saw an advertisement for this movement on Instagram and became intrigued. Today is Friday, August 21, 2020 and I'm committed to change.
