Hello Everyone,
I eat so much fast food coming from work on my way to school. Just always on the go. I was doing pre-reqs for the RN program but because of the wait (not enough instructors) I decided to go the LPN route. I have gained almost 60 lbs over the past year. I am so tired of seeing myself like this I decided to join the gym. My husband is a little concerned that I am trying to do to much. But I do know this as a nurse you are constantly on the move and I do not want my weight to slow me down. I weigh 249 lbs. right now and I want to lose a 100 lbs. (Even though everyone says that I will look sick if I do that) Maybe they have just gotten use to seeing me looking the way I am. I love people and am very considerate and outgoing but I do have since to know that if I do not lose weight I am asking for trouble later on in life. I am 30 years old and I never had to work out when I was younger but now I do:chuckle It is really bothering me and I was wondering if anyone else has such a hectic schedule and still find time to do at least 30-45 minutes of cardio a day? It would be encouraging to hear from other nursing students and I will keep you informed of my progress. Where some people don't eat when they are stressed I pig out.
I would love to hear how you all manage your hectic and busy schedules in to get some serious exercise and how you manage to eat healthy. I am on a fast right now. I am trying to change my eating habits.
Thanks for all your support and responses in advance:)
