Finishing School, Yard Work, and Getting Back Into Running

Image
By Rebecca Duerrwaechter
I'm hoping to get back into the weekly recaps now that I have finished the academic portion of my schooling. Yes, that's right! I've finished the academic portion of my studies and now it's just time for my clinical studies! Last week I finished my last exam and this past week I've been updating my resume, making cover letters, getting paperwork together, and going into the veterinary hospitals and clinics in my area.

So I figured what great way to celebrate this achievement by sitting down with a cup of coffee and writing a little blog post.

Let's take this post back to last Monday, the 14th of August.




Monday was a pretty great day considering it is when I took my final exam! I got a 96%. Even though I got one question wrong and could prove that I answered correctly with my textbook I'm still pretty happy with my grade. I also uploaded a new vlog on my youtube channel of my previous week while eating breakfast outside with the kitties. After having breakfast and studying I went to my my midwife appointment for my Paragard check up. We went over a few concerns I had about my last menstrual cycle and she gave me some different options to try. I'll be going over that in another post. After my appointment I took my final Exam, and as you know I got a 96%! 


You know it's summer when your fur-babies are shedding this much.



Tuesday I started to get back into running again! I even filmed a bit of my route and the foods I ate. I will be starting a running series on my youtube channel soon. After running I spent some time doing yard work. There's so much to do. I'm still not done yet and I feel like I've been working on it forever.

This was only part of the weeds I pulled up. Monsoon season is making our yard a jungle lol.


Later on I spent some time with the kitties while cleaning.

The rest of the week I spent running, cleaning, taking care of the kitties, and relaxing after a year of studying. Jake got me a new game, Witcher 3, and I became addicted. 


The past weekend we had beautiful weather and a nice breeze came in. We were actually able to turn off the A/C and open all the windows. I know my utility bill will thank me. :)

A beautiful sunset.




Sunday was a nice relaxing day. Jake and I ordered food, played some games, and the fur-babies had some fun too.

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!

I Love My Coffee

By Rebecca Duerrwaechter
I love coffee. I don't necessarily NEED to have it. I even stopped drinking it for a while and just had tea but I love the taste of it. I used to drink Starbucks all the time but now I make my coffee at home. When it started to get hot here I stopped drinking my coffee in the morning because hot coffee and hot weather was just too much for me. Then I realized I should just make iced coffee! I have a couple recipes I have been using lately and would love to write them. Some of them are healthy and some of them, not so much. Vanilla Creme: Half Coffee Half 1% milk (or coconut milk) Drops of Vanilla Creme SweetLeaf Stevia Drops  to taste Chocolate Raspberry: Half Coffee Half 1% milk (or coconut milk) Drops of Chocolate Raspberry SweetLeaf Stevia Drops  to taste Iced Mocha Coffee: Half Coffee Half 1% milk (or coconut milk) A couple squirts of Hershey's Sugar Free Chocolate Syrup You can basically make it anyway you want to. I would love to get the flavors of Hazelnut, Pumpkin S...

ACE Fitness

By Rebecca Duerrwaechter
In one of my earlier posts I said that I am going to school to become a Certified Personal Trainer. I am taking online classes through the American Council on Exercise (ACE).  I am loving it so far! I bought the premium package and it included all the study materials plus a CEC math class, an online syllabus, and even videos/lectures that I can view online. It also came with a re-take exam voucher just in case I don't pass the first time. I am on lesson 10 now. I am going over Chapter 7 in the ACE Personal Trainer Manual and have already completed the Exercise Science portion. I am doing about one lesson a week. I take my quiz for the lesson on Friday and then on the weekends I review all of the Exercise Science book and Personal Trainer Manual. You can do it at your own pace but if I don't structure the lessons for myself I will probably fall behind. The schedule I have set up works pretty well for me but it took me longer than a week to go through a lesson when I was doing E...
