Clean Bill of Health

Yesterday after work I got my blood work back from the doctor. I didn’t really realize how stressed out I was about my health. Not knowing whats going on inside of you is kind of scary. And then scariest part of all is, what if something is wrong? What if I do have cancer or…
Not going to Tri

So a few weeks ago before I found out that I was invited to Botswana, I signed up for a triathlon. I was excited, but nervous because I hadn’t been training for anything, let alone a triathlon and wasn’t anywhere near ready. And now, now that I know I’m going to Botswana, now that I…
Finding a Doctor
| April 16, 2013 | 2013, life, Peace Corps |
This week I’ve spent dedicated to making doctors appointments. So far, I’ve called 4 offices and have gotten no appointments. Ironically, this first office I called actually happened to be a weight loss clinic. They apparently accept my insurance, so that’s cool. The second and third offices weren’t accepting new patients and the fourth one…

Woke up this morning like I’ve woken up every morning for the last six weeks and anxiously checked my phone. Nothing. Checked my computer because of course I un-synced the emails from my phone because it was stressing me out every time I received an email that wasn’t an invitation. My life is so hard. Nothing. Got…

Never give up on something you really want. It’s difficult to wait, but worse to regret. It’s sound advice, I think particularly for the desperate. Which I am. Six weeks ago, I heard from the Peace Corps Placement Office, telling me they’d be contacting me in 2-6 weeks with “further programmatic information.” Four weeks…

I really chose a good day to go back to the gym. Lately when I have a crazy day at work, I daydream about all the crazy delicious food I’m going to gorge on when I get home. But today I get to go the gym and work out the crazy instead. Its been a…

I am still shocked at how burned out I am after the Chicago Marathon last fall. I woke up nearly every single day this winter trying to convince myself that, “I’m ready” that, “I just need a new goal” that, “if I make all the right plans, everything will fall into place.” But when you…

After a nice long weekend of getting my home and food supply in order, I’m ready to start my training for the Golden Nugget Triathlon. I made my training plan, and pretty much every day for the next 10 weeks, I have something planned. This week is all about getting my food plan back on…
