Howdy Hi everyone,
Just taking a short break from my schoolwork. I started schooling to be an Medical Transcriber in December. I have one more chapter to go in my 900 page medical book, then its abbreviations, 7 tests and then off to practice dictation before taking THE TEST!
Somehow, I have managed to keep exercising amid the chaos of school and a slow transition from our family business being a partnership to a corporation.
I find it best to utilize my exercise time with something that will get the most bang out of the buck; so to speak. LOl. So the workouts have been the IS, BB and CTX series with some Yoga and Pilates thrown in. At least once a month I've did Slow Heavy as it definately has its place with me and CST, Back Biceps and Abs from the Pure Strength series. I'm not up to my usual frequency of workouts as it so very very hard to get up any earlier than 8:30 am when you don't get to sleep before 1 am. Ah....night school..... I usually would do a cardio in the morning and something else in the afternoon. It is difficult to put two workouts back to back in the afternoon on a full time basis, for me anyways. But I am proud to say, I have done very very well of staying away from the white chocolate and raspberry cheesecake at Applebees. If you've ever tried it, you know how goooooodd that is. LOL Chester Cheetah hasn't been so lucky. Hahaha
I sprained my ankle while tripping over my step box, but hey, what is life without a little pain?....(I say this with dry humor.) I hobbled around a couple of days, did the RICE thing and then started working around it.
I checked in here a while back, just long enough to pre-order the new advanced DVD and the Slow Heavy DVD because my videos got funny lines running through them. Gotta have the new DVD. Sounds like it will be like another Boot Camp or a Cardio & Weights. ??? I have had very mixed emotions about the entire intermediate series. I have so very very many Intermediate videos that I never ever use...but then again...this is Cathe, right? I possibly will break down and buy them after the reviews; for sure when I start making gazillions of dollars doing medical dictation. ( I'm a dreamer)
Just thought I'd pop in and say to hi to all of you and let you know that I haven't dropped off the planet yet. AND.....if there are any MT's on board who have taken the MT test...and survived.... would you mind sharing with me just what in the world do you get tested on? ;-)
Is it terms, spelling, dictation, typing...???? I can't find anyone who seems to know? In my schooling, it is a 'wait and see when we get there' type thing. I always wanted to know it when I got there. }(
Better get back to medical terms. Phychiatry is last. I wonder if that is on purpose? LOL
BTW, I found a new purpose for flies in the grids of florescent lights. A friend came over to exercise with me, and she was really spent after the class. We both were laying down on the floor and looking at all the flies that had accumulated in the grids. We just kept staring at them...and after awhile, they resembled birds.
So after a class, turn on a light fan to have a gentle breeze, think tropical and rub on the new Lime fragranced lotion from Bath and Body shop, look up at your grid with flies (if you have them... I will give you some if you don't) and lay on your back and look at the birds. Hey, it beats cleaning those lights, right? LOL
Happy workouts to all of you.
