My first boot camp…a few slip ups…
So I went to zumba Monday, my teacher’s last class before she gives birth and she still kicked our butts! I guess there will be a sub the next few weeks.
I also tried boot camp tonight. It was hard, I hate crawling on the floor b/c it’s hard but also the floor is gross!
I have been sneaking my husband’s Halloween candy stash here and there, 4 pieces or so a day. It’s almost gone. I also had a small cookie today at the hospital but I only got one and not 3 (they come in 1 and 3 packs). Luckily I work with a bunch of dietians! They eat pretty healthy.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE the children’s hospital so far. I love the clinic too (I go to the North clinic sometimes). Very bright and colorful and the kids like it. The kids are so cute and funny. They whip out their insulin pumps and know how to program it and all that. I’ve seen a couple of type 2 diabetics too. One kid he had it and so did his mom. I just can’t believe it. The kid wasn’t really that big, he was a little chubby but not big. I just thought if that was my kid I would put the whole family on a big “diet” and we would all exercise and eat good. Most of the kids are more on top of their disease then any of the adults or seniors I’ve ever seen with diabetes! These kids want to understand at 9 years old and take responsibility then I see a ton of 40 and 50 year olds who give up and don’t care. It’s kind of crazy.
I guess 50% of the kids who grow up from our clinic and turn 18 stop going to the doctor and go untreated for 10 years but then end up in the hospital. Crazy.
I actually am going to wear a insulin pump with saline instead of insulin start tomorrow until Friday. I have to enter my carbs and tell it how much insulin to give me and stuff then they’ll print a report and see how I do. My husband is freaking out and thinks it’s going to hurt me somehow.
OH I got an email from my school, I am getting H1N1 shot on Thurs after the career fair! I am glad I could get the shot. I don’t like the live nasal vaccines, just personal preference.

YAY!!! A holly blog. I’ve missed you! As you can tell I had to bug you with a booster note because I was like, where’s Holly?
Ahhhhh you don’t like bootcamp?
Hey, I ate about 30 pieces of chocolate candy from Halloween - the nephew’s candy right? I ended up giving them all to my brother’s girl so she can give it a way to her students.
I’m so glad you enjoy this rotation!
I just saw your comment on my blog……lol I love that you wear yoga pants! They are the most comfortable aren’t they?
I know what you mean about the adults not caring. My mom was the same way, after a while it became a game to her. she had candy stashes all aound the house like she was hiding contraband or something. it eventually killed her. it takes alot of heart to work in the health industry like you do and care from the heart like you do.
I work at a children’s hospital and I love it. It is so sad, though all the kids with diabetes, even babies. I know some if it can’t be helped, but alot can, adults just don’t make the effort. Good job on bootcamp!
The candy is gone from my house.We didnt buy any and didnt have any trick or treaters but my youngest & her friends did bring some home. She kept it in her room and I am proud to say I never went in there.
My heart really goes out to the little ones with diabetes. The older ones..we see here at our hospital all the time. I can see their frustration but I cant see giving up.
I think the floor is dirty too and I workout in my own basement…so it isn’t just you! My dad put down a big square of carpet and I have my mat too…
good job on the candy! The kids sound really responsible…that is good but sad that they have to experience that. I hate needles so could not stand to take injections
I think I have fallen in love with group workouts too!
