One week down, 7 to go!

Today is June 13, 2016 and I just found this draft that I never posted.  A lot has changed since this day, including the fact that I have started Crossfit at Emancipation Crossfit.  I want to see more results but I can’t express how much better I feel!!  I am so happy that Jason helped push me and paid for my first month.  Thank you honey.

 

So here is the old post, not even sure when it was written.

A recap of day 7…

Went to church at Immaculate Heart in Somerton because Kira had to hand out bulletins at mass.  It was different, but nice.  The priest had a fun sense of humor and that was fun.

Lunch at Applebees since it was only Jason, Kira, and I.  That was nice too.  I wasn’t feeling really well so I came home and immediately took some Ibuprofen and laid down for a nap.  I think it had something to do with my body being on a schedule to wake up early to work out and I messed with it this morning by not waking until 730.

After the motrin kicked in I was up and at em and did some more work in the yard.  I finished listening to my audio book and felt like a bad ass with my electric saw cutting tree branches.  I also decided not to do a dump run with all of the extra leaves and small branches.  Instead I fired up the fire pit and burned all of the outside trash as I was sawing up the larger branches to pile up for firewood.  I like it when I can look at a final product and feel accomplished.  We still have to chop down some more dead branches but  we will need to do that together and we will need a chainsaw to out the larger tree trunks.

Finally I was in a position to do my work out.  I did the PIYO Sweat today.  Kira was my work out partner and it was fun having her do the video with me.  I felt much better today.  I didn’t have to do as many modifications and I even did a couple of the burpees.  I can’t believe I have completed one week!

So…goals for next week

  • Complete the PIYO regimen for the week, Push harder to be able to do less modifications
  • Complete the mile walking each day
  • Complete the week of squat challenge
  • Find a better, more challenging ab challenge and get started with that.
  • TRY (I mean really try!!!) to hit the paleo regimen.  stop with the carbs Loke!  You can do it.
  • Get good rest.

This next week is challenging and has a lot going on.  Next weekend is the Silver Spur Rodeo and I have volunteered to help Peggy with the VIP tent so I will need to be prepared to meet my goals and still be on my game for the rodeo.  Plus, there are appointments I have, and a class I have to attend, and some nursing duties that I need to complete for the clinic.  Time to get moving.

Aloha….Loke

New Things Happening

I am starting a new adventure.  I am going to try my hand at online teaching.  I will be an adjunct faculty member for SNHU (Southern New Hampshire University) Nursing.  I am so nervous and so excited.

I wanted to write a quick post so that I wouldn’t forget the feelings I just experienced by opening my SNHU Blackboard.  I was smiling from ear to ear.  I love being a student.  I love being in the classroom, even if it is a virtual classroom.  I opened up the webpage and immediately felt excitement.  I felt at home.

This is going to be interesting and I am hoping it fills a void that I have when I am not learning.  I expect as a teacher in the classroom that I will also be learning.  It is important in healthcare to continue to learn and continue to stay up to date (as well as possible) on the current status of healthcare.

And on another note…I am soooo excited to have access to a University Library.  I love being able to access all of the articles that have been published.

As always…I thank God for His blessings and allowing me to use the gifts that He has bestowed upon me.  Please be with me as I embark on this new adventure and please guide me to do your will.

Aloha….Loke
