Real quick...

Just wanted to post some new pictures that I took after day 1 and share some updates.

No big changes, but -6 lbs is a HUGE improvement! 

Orientation went really good... We watched videos, read handouts, and did quizzes.  I hate quizzes, but they weren't terrible.  Their policies are a LOT more laid back than rescare and they really seem to care about making sure the caregivers are comfortable, and that's a huge thing for me.  I had to endure a lot of uncomfortable situations in the past and they were adamant that isn't happening here.  I can't talk much about anything else, but today is the last day of orientation and we are doing hands on training so that should be fun ;) I'll hopefully find out when I'm starting work (Crossing my fingers its MONDAY so I can have a weekend to relax) and I'm just anxious to find out my schedule and meet my clients and get going...first few days are always the most nerve wracking.  But I'm keeping my head high and showing confidence!

Also, I went to the gym BY MYSELF!! :-D  There was nobody there when I first arrived so I hit the treadmill for about 20, halfway through some people showed up, but no biggie...I finished the treadmill, did some leg lifts, and worked on arms for about 15 minutes.  I came home to do my ab challenge (Leg lifts, planks(OUCH), and crunches) and felt REALLY sore afterwards.  Today I feel good, a little sore, but not bad.  I'm hoping to again tonight with Debi!  We talked about doing 3 days on 1 day off and I think that's a great idea! 

Crap, just looked at the clock - I'M LATE!!!!!! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'll catch up soon.
