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.

Warrior Challenge Obstacle Course and Mud Run

By Rebecca Duerrwaechter
Today my husband and I completed the Warrior Challenge Obstacle Course and Mud Run! We got there at 07:30 bright and early. Before we went I ate a little bit of fruit and packed some things we might need (lots of towels, baby wipes, eye drops, snacks for afterwards, water, and electrolytes). I really enjoyed myself and it was empowering to accomplish it! Jake and I did it together all the way through. I'm so thankful that I have such an amazing husband that is so patient with me and helped me all the way through the event. The event was just short of 6 miles. It had over ten obstacles and included mud pits and a run through the woods that was very muddy! At the end we got some free water, Gatorade, fruit, snacks, and beer! I was very surprised but my Fitbit Surge held up pretty well! The only thing is when we got sprayed with water at the end, the force of the water must have hit one of the buttons and it turned off my Fitbit. That was as we were crossing the finis...

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!

LASIK: Three Week Review

By Rebecca Duerrwaechter
So on May 27th I had my LASIK surgery! I'm going to write the great, the good, the bad, and the ugly. The Day Of The morning of the surgery I woke up very early to make the 1.5 hour drive the where the center was. They said to make sure to eat the morning of because they didn't want the valium to make my stomach upset. I managed to get some nuts, granola, and some other snacks down. I was really nervous so eating a bit was hard. If I could do it again I would have eaten an actual breakfast! I didn't eat enough and afterwards I was very nauseous. When I finally got to the clinic I waited about a half an hour after my appointment time to be seen. I wasn't in a huge hurry just very anxious and the wait didn't help. I already new what to expect but I just wanted it done and over with. I was finally called in and we went over some paperwork that I had to sign, they made sure I knew about all the risks involved, I made the payment, and then they gave me a little happ...
