Its Been A While....

Wow I can't believe its already September. This year has been a crazy world wind and I haven't accomplished many of my goals. I will give you a recap of the year so far.

- Bought my dream Car
- Moved to my own place
- Officially have been working as a nurse for a year
- and mostly recently adopted my new baby kitten Oliver

My weight loss hasn't really happened and my mental health it just all depends on the day.

Career wise - besides finishing up my first year. I am currently looking for more advanced positions to further my career.

I feel very rambly tonight so excuse that. Having a mentally crappy evening.

Now that I have moved I don't do much but work, shop and hang out at home. I still haven't finished unpacking and setting up. I need to get working on that to feel more at home here. I have been reading more which is great for me because I really enjoy it. I have a whole stack of books to read.

I need to get back into meal planning and actually eating what I cook. I keep shopping and buying things to cook and just not doing it.

Hmm.....What else... OH I thought I was finally starting to make a friend at work but she is now getting married and changing jobs so guess I really will not be seeing her anymore. But, its my life and I will just move on.

I am really wanting to write more just for myself honestly but if anyone wants to read welcome and leave any topics you want talked about in the comments.

Hope everyone has a great weekend!

2015 Making it a Great Year.

Well 2014 has come and gone and what a crazy year it was. I graduated nursing school, passed the nclex, and began my first job as a registered nurse. I often think back to everything that has come of this last year and feel its all been a dream. Not being in school right now is still so unreal to me. I rang in the New Year at work surrounded by some amazing people and I am looking forward to what this year has to hold.

     So now on to 2015 I don't want to make resolutions as they are just something to be broken but I have made myself some goals for the new year.

My first goal is for my health. I want to continue working on my weightloss and getting back into the gym on a regular basis. I am going to give lower carb a shot for the time being.

My second goal is in organization. This one takes on multiple pieces. So part one is getting better at meal planning and prepping which will start this weekend I hope and I planning on writing about it. The second part is organization in my life so my plan is to spend at least an hour or two each week accomplishing a task around the house and getting rid of clutter. The third piece is organization in my time. Since begin on nightshift I often find myself watching TV rather than accomplishing the things I need to do so I purchased a new planner so I can keep up with what I need to do. The final piece of this goal is for this blog I want to hopefully blog once a week whether it be an update, meal planning, or a recipe(I am always up for new ideas as well).

My third goal for 2015 is focus. I want to focus on advancing my career. This also comes in 2 parts. Step 1 is to take classes offered by my hospital and part 2 is to begin doing overtime so that I can cross train in other areas.

My last major goal for 2015 is happiness. I focus so much on the negative in my life and I need to change. No one is going to make me happy I need to do that for myself. I need to put myself out there more and focus on making new friends and finding new hobbies.

Another kind of more fun plan for 2015 is to buy a new car!!!!

I hope you all continue to follow me along this journey. Remember to find me on Instagram if you want to see me post more frequently.

            Happy New Years,
