My dream is to one day have Linda Hamilton’s arms. We all know those buff Terminator 2 arms. But, one area that has been lacking for me in the past is taking care of me. That is a hard thing for nurses to do. We are so busy taking care of not only our patients, but our husband, our kids, pets, etc. I am no exception to that. Over the last 10 years, I have really let myself go. I am about 50 pounds over weight. I am not proud of that! It also hurts your credibility with some patients when it is obvious that you are not practicing what you preach. Of course, over the years I have yo yo’d. I have tried LA weightloss, weight watchers, lose your lumps and many other diet programs over the years. Sure, they all work …. for a little while. To anyone who cares to hear …. I pledge to lose 50 ish pounds by August 5, 2008 (family reunion day) by eating right and exercising. Argh! I’ve said it! Now to put that plan into action …..
