February 2014

How is it almost the end of February 2014?!?! NUTS!

Short update:

1. Corey is still working away at Costco
2. I'm enjoying my internship at The KOR Physical Therapy
3. I will graduate with my doctorate of physical therapy in mid-May!!!
4. Not sure where life will take me next as far as a job is concerned.  It's an exciting and crazy feeling to not know where I will be in 3 months!
5. I will take my National exam at the end of April... prayers will be greatly appreciated ;)
6. Corey and I aren't sure where we will be living after I graduate, things are kind of up in the air as far as our lease will be ending (will we renew?), I'll be looking for a job, Corey's hoping to apply for supervisor in training soon...

Such an exciting time in our lives, looking forward to see where God will take us next.

Feeling very blessed to have such a wonderful and patient husband, to have fun and loving families, and to have such great friends in our lives. :) With all the uncertainties coming our way, it's great to feel so loved by those around us.

Addition to my last blog

I know it has been a while since I've blogged, but I keep thinking there are a few things that are worth mentioning that I left out of the last blog.

It's not about weight.  I know I mentioned BMI and definitions of obesity, etc.. But it's about fitness and wellness, not weight.  Studies have shown that overweight and obese can be more fit than normal weight individuals who do not exercise.  Just because someone is skinny or "normal weight" does not mean they are fit or healthy.  Likewise, overweight or obese individuals can be fit. And, even if people are exercising and not seeing the physical results they want (ex. losing weight), there are still many, many benefits happening inside the body.

High blood pressure and cholesterol, increased risk of coronary artery disease and certain cancers are risk factors of leading a sedentary lifestyle. Not just risk factors of obesity. 

We shouldn't be striving to achieve a certain weight, but more a level of fitness and wellness to improve general health.

So far I have done pretty well on my New Year's Resolution, it has been surprisingly easier than I thought.  Anyways, just wanted to clarify that I'm encouraging all of us to pursue healthier lifestyles, not a certain weight.
