This will be . . . interesting :)

Hello and welcome to my first Blog ! I am starting this blog in conjunction with a class project that I am doing. We are suppose to select an area of our life that we would like to improve , write a nursing diagnosis statement about it , and implement the plan for approximately 6 weeks, hence the title of my blog :)

So here is the place that I will be completely honest and share a few things about me , my life , how and why I am at this place in my life and the steps I am taking to move forward. I have been back in Sioux Falls for a year and the day after I moved back I stated a new job and entered nursing school as a 26 year old non traditional student. Talk about feeling old , when everyone around you is 18 or close to it.

I am the kind of person that believes that every thing happens for a reason . I believe that I am truly finding out who I am and I am doing things that I have always wanted to do . I am striving to move forward and conquer the world.

                          Things that I want to do :

• Save Money ( so I can give it all away!!)
• Become a Doctor ( work with children with special needs or Alzheimer's research)
• Travel the world ( and just be in peace )
• White water raft (just because)
• Hip hop dance ( so I can look cool when I dance by myself in my apartment)
• Learn to sew ( so I don't have to throw things away ) 
• Be fluent in Spanish ( in the medical field ) 
• Have pink hair (yes I am not kidding)
• Be the best bell ringer at christmas (ya know the ones who stand out in the cold at christmas time)

So my 6 week challenge to myself is going to be . . . be in the best shape that I can be in and cut extra spending . 

1. I will be giving up sweets, pop , and coffee

2. I Will work go to the gym 5 days a week and work out with a trainer 2 of those days. 

3. I will get 7-8 hours of sleep a night

4. I will discontinue my cable 

5. I will hang dry my clothing and not use the dryer

6. I will not spend any outside money besides bills 

7. I will not use my air conditioner

8. I will pack my own lunch and not eat at work

9. I will cut coupons and chose healthy foods at the store

10. I will learn to relax , find , peace , love god , others and myself. 

So please follow my blog as I will be blogging about my experience , my ups and down, my funnies, and my out come. Thanks for reading -
