Mamavation Monday: Where am I Going from Here?

Watch Lives Change

After I finished my Mamavation boot camp, I got hit hard in the face with my last 2 months of nursing school. My school is known for its 100% pass rate on the NCLEX, and that’s because they push you very hard. So once Mamavation boot camp finished, I focused on other things. I knew I had the tools to get back on track as soon as school finished, and that’s what I’ve been working on.

It’s discouraging to have to face sore muscles and re-climb some of the mountains I had already gotten over during boot camp. But when I hopped on the treadmill Monday and did a Tracey Mallett DVD, I told myself, “All I can do is get back on each day and keep at it.” While I don’t have the accountability I did during boot camp, I’m not starting from scratch either. This time I’m carrying my successes from boot camp with me. I know I did the work, and I got results. I can do it again.Taking it a day at a time, just like Amy.

This week, I’m focusing on running on the treadmill and doing a Tracey Mallett DVD each day. I’m getting plenty of water in and filling my body with foods that give me energy. I’m thinking about where I want to be a month from now, 5 months from now, 9 months from now, and outlining some goals. I’ll keep you posted. (-:

I do know that when I woke up this morning, I felt good. Sore muscles and all.

P.S. Today is my kiddo’s 3rd birthday, AND I just got word that I’m taking the NCLEX June 10th. It’s a good day. Wish me luck! (-:

Good luck, good luck, good luck! But you don’t need luck. Because you’re you.
