Monday morning I had an appointment at health services to get blood work done. Basically, they took my blood so that someone can see if I have antibodies for certain diseases. I took several immunizations this past semester for nursing school and it’s important to see if they did their job. However, if I still don’t have immunity, I just sign a waiver and continue on with life.
We arrived and I signed in more than on time and then I proceeded to wait for almost 30 minutes. I am not kidding. I was the first person there and I still had to wait that long! Ridiculous. When I finally went back, it took five minutes to get me in and out. Seriously. We get charged a fee if we don’t show up, so why can’t I charge them for taking up my time?
Anyway, the lady went over everything with me and I was able to schedule my physical appointment for Friday morning. After that, I will be DONE with all these requirements and just have to submit all my paperwork.
The other thing that I’ve been trying to do is eat healthier. It’s hard to do when it seems like all we have in the apt. right now is junk food, but I’m making it alright. Today I started tracking what I ate and I’ve been constantly refilling my water bottle. I’m determined to get some exercise in this afternoon as well. Yesterday I did my new Your Shape game and it was awesome. I totally was sweating and I only worked out for fifteen minutes. It is definitely my new workout toy. I’m going to try and use my new heart rate monitor watch with it and see what happens.
So my new goals for the rest of this week are to track what I eat (every little bit) and to drink at least 8 cups of water each day. I’m starting out simple and hoping for big results!
