I no longer want to work out/exercise or walk for weight loss. I am over 'the let's be skinny' vibe. I am no longer looking to be a specific pants size. I want them to fit, be comfortable and feel good in them.
I want my shoes to be cute and comfortable.
It took me 57 years to say that - and personally, that is way too long.
Throughout my 30-year career as a nurse, advocating for the well-being of others has always been my top priority. But when it comes to my family, that sense of dedication and determination takes on a whole new level. I become a gladiator, fearlessly fighting for their health and challenging the norms of the healthcare system.
Being a nurse has taught me the importance of strongly advocating for patients and our loved ones. It’s a role that requires fierce determination, unwavering dedication, and the willingness to question the status quo.
Then I had to stop and say,?‘Angela, what about you?
Leave a comment on the blog, and let me know if this relates to you.
I want to share my personal journey and the lessons I’ve learned about health, happiness, and aging gracefully.

1 年Yes! I'm right there with you "I am over ‘the let’s be skinny’ vibe". You beat me...it took me 65 years to get there. It's time to change the narrative to "I'm committed to being as healthy as possible so that I can live fully alive all of my life". This is what gets me to the gym or on the Peloton and planning meals with real food.

1 年I can absolutely relate. I am totally burned out and my husband and kids want me to retire because the stress is killing me.NP for 9 years, RN for 49 years, in healthcare for 55 years and didn't think my career would end like this. I don't know how to anything but nursing.
