Making Smoothies, Having a Cold, and Passing My Exam

By Rebecca Duerrwaechter
Let's take this post back to last Friday, March the 17th.





I started to feel a little sick Thursday night but not bad. When I woke up on Friday I felt miserable. Fever, sweats, chills, aches, you name it. I remained that way until part way through Saturday when I started to feel a little better and my fever went away.



By Sunday I still felt sick with a stuffy nose and a little achy but in general I felt much better. I got up, showered, and took care of the house after it being neglected for the last couple days. I even went outside for some fresh air after getting the dishes done. I ended up finally taking my exam that I wanted to take on Friday and I got 100%! The rest of the night I cleaned up the house, did some laundry, made supper and then relaxed before bed.






Monday was a great start to my week! It felt like I had a bit of a cold and I had a little headache but I was pretty productive. I had breakfast outside while I read an article on intuitive eating. I made the smoothies Sunday night right before bed and put them in glass bottles in the fridge so they would be ready for Monday. I took care of all my errands including bills, mailing stuff out, and picking up a few things that we need for around the house. It was really warm which was great because it was the first day of spring! After running errands I made a PB&J and drank a bit of water. Then I made my way outside to start my new unit "Wound Care and Management". I got half way through the unit before I went inside to start on some of the house work.

I sat outside for a bit waiting for the mail to come but realized I was probably burning so I went inside. Finally the mail came and Jake's Qalo ring was delivered!



After the mail came I got started on supper which was Chinese. That's not that big of a surprise since I make Chinese every Monday and probably one other day a week.

After supper I got Jake ready for work, the fur babies ready for bed, and I did my yoga and went to bed.

I woke up a little earlier than usual Tuesday. I'm trying to start waking up earlier and earlier so I can get more stuff done before it gets too hot. I got up, fed the fur babies their breakfast, put away some clothes and towels, started some laundry, and brought my breakfast outside.



I read an article in the fitness journal I got from ACE and ate a Clif bar while I had a green tea fruit smoothie.






Later, I took my exam and passed with a 95%. I started Clinical Parasitology and then I finished the day with a workout on my bike.





Wednesday and Thursday I didn't do much besides clean the house, did my schoolwork, and then looked after my furbabies. They loved going outside.

My First Day at GNC

By Rebecca Duerrwaechter
Well today was my first day at GNC. When I asked for my days off she seemed understanding because I brought it up on the first day. However, my probation period is ninety days and I'm not allowed to use the cash register and I'm taking tests and training the whole time. So by the time I'm planning to leave and start working in a Fitness Facility I would still be on probation. I feel bad for only staying with them such a short time and them investing training into me. I'm wondering how long this will last. I plan to stick it out for a while and see how it goes. I'm not worrying about it because I know God has great plans for me and I just have to trust Him. I have applied for ten fitness facility positions on post this week and this weekend I will be applying to fitness facilities in the city that I am in. Hopefully something comes through and I can start putting my schooling and passion to use!

So Many Changes

By Rebecca Duerrwaechter
During my last post I was still doing my externship at a veterinary clinic near me. Since then, I have been hired as a veterinary technician! I have been loving this job. It's been stressful but has been so rewarding.  My goals lately have been some smaller ones such as getting better at blood draws (I have hit 100% of my veins in the last 3 weeks!), triple checking invoices, and getting all my charts completed by the end of the day. When I feel that I have improved enough I will start training in surgery. That's my goal anyway. Then, once I start training in surgery and become a surgery tech I can start working towards my goal of becoming a critical care technician.  I have progressed in my career but I have also progressed in my personal life as well.  I have finally hit my goal weight since getting off my birth control and getting the Paragard. Now my next goal is to build more muscle, gain endurance, and become more flexible again. I have also started can...

Mexican Cruise Day 1: Los Angeles, California

By Rebecca Duerrwaechter
We left home Friday evening with plenty of time to spare to get there early Saturday morning, find parking, get checked in, etc. Before we left town we stopped at one of my favorite restaurants and got supper. After hitting the road we went through Tucson and Phoenix with no issues.  After a rest stop in Phoenix with bathroom breaks and stocking up on food and water we were set to drive across the desert with no stops for at least a few hours. About one hour into the desert (1am) we got a flat tire! A nail was left on the side of the road and punctured our tire. Thankfully my Dad was with us. Jake and my Dad managed to get the doughnut on the car. We tried calling AAA but there was an accident and the person coming to help us got flagged down by the police to help out.  After getting the spare on we tried finding a tire shop that was open 24 hours. There wasn't one within 100 miles! We drove to the closest one and then they had to help someone else out so n...
