Hey all... I feel like I have been MIA for a weeks....
I am excited to have started Nursing school...(3rd week) but it is consuming almost all of my time and energy! What I have left I try to give to my Fiance... It seems WW and exercise has taken a back seat... I have gained .2, lost .4 and maintained the last 3 weeks... I just don't even seem to have any success trying to plan better!
I think part of it is there is not consistency of when classes are or how much we need to prepare for the next day. it just depends! Plus we have 1-2 tests a week all of which need to be passed or they will put you on probation for the program... Part of it is that this is an accelerated program so our classes are shortened- we have the same responsibilities but just about half the time to do it...
What the full time group does over a week we do in 2 days sort of thing....
I am just stressed to the max!!! Any thoughts on how to get a handle on the stress and get back at my eating habits? I honestly have less than an hour per day to do this... That includes cooking! I just can't seem to find time to do things like cleaning my house, playing with my dogs, talking to my fiance, cooking dinner(some nights I get this in). I have gotten my exercise habit scheduled in now... I just get up really early to go to gym with my fiance- But it gets canceled easily- like it did today for instance because I got up at 5am to study more for an exam at 8 am. (Yesterday we had class at 1 pm- you see the times are all over the place)....
My WW leader told me not to stress about WW because that is only adding to my stress level which is already high... She said once I get in it further I will be able to get a routine down...
It just doesn't seem to be coming to me yet- the elusive routine! We start clinicals next week so that should be fun!
I feel better just talking about it...
Let me know if you have suggestions... I hope to be back later today to check them out! Wish me luck on my test!
