Easter Sunday

Today I am grateful to be home with some of my family for Easter Sunday. I am grateful for the knowledge I have that our Savior lives again and that we also can live again. I know that we are each apart of a great whole, something bigger that each of us individually yet not complete without each other. I know that we need to work each and everyday to give back to that which we have been given. We need to serve each other we need to give to the poor, cloth the naked and feed the hungry. I know that I get selfish and forget this principle at times, I know that I can do better at having more charity, sacrifice more for others and look out for my brothers and sisters more. I am grateful for this time of year in that it reminds of the responsibility I have to show my gratitude for all my Savior did for me by serving and helping others. It is my goal to strive to more fully understand my part of the whole and live so that I can be apart of our Heavenly Fathers kingdom.

Journal Entry

I am down 3lbs!! I have had a crazy work scheduled including a night 12 hour shift, so I feel like my body clock has been thrown off as well as my workout schedule. This morning I did a pilotes workout and had a kifer shake for breakfast. I am getting ready to work in the yard today and get lots of needed sunshine!! I will post some pictures later!

New Job

I am loving my new job. I started in the mom/baby unit at Logan Regional Hospital a couple of weeks ago and I have totally loved it!!

I take care of both mom and baby, doing rounds every two hours as well as putting in caths and taking them out. I also get to take out IV's and do testing on babies. On my down time you will find me in the nursery holding, feeding and rocking babies!! I am up to my ears with babies and I am loving every minuet of it!!

Days 4-8....This is harder that I thought it was going to be. I guess I will only be posting on the days that I don't work because jotting in my journal is the last thing on my mind when I drag my tired body home!! I have been doing well at work drinking my protein shake which seem to give me plenty of energy for the day. I have also been taking a salad and healthy snacks.

Today I returned to my spinning class and it kicked my behind!! And I remember why I have such a love / hate relationship with this class. Hate the beginning yet I love the way I feel after!!
I have been pretty consistent with the protein shake for breakfast, salad of some kind for lunch and a light dinner.

All in all I feel great and have a ton of energy!!

Day 1----Me and my bike reunited today after a long winter!! I have a long way to go. Ended the season last year with 14 mile ride............started today with a 4 mile ride!! Always feels good to get active and outside again. I kept up spinning for most of the winter but my membership ran out about a month ago and I admit I have been stagnate for the majority of those four weeks. I have to remember this when you don use it you sure loose it!!

For the past couple of years I have been working on getting healthy after a few years of bad health. I have have changed my diet to a 60% raw food diet. I can really tell a difference in my mental focus, energy and stamina. It sure makes a difference to get the inflammation out of your body. This year my goal is weight loss. So I decided to keep a journal of my activity to help me stay focused on this goal. Your comments and encouragement will be greatly appreciated and if any want to join me on this journey.........join in!! You can check out my fanatical food blog for recipes and ideas if you are just getting started.
