The last sentence warmed my heart! And yeah I know the side effects of BBlockers very well. It's a catch22 I'm afraid . My best goes out to you!

Thanks! I have been dealing with sinus tachycardia for about a month...diagnosed last week....cause as yet undetermined because it happens at rest and during sleep. So for now I'm stuck with a heart monitor and trying different beta blockers which so far help, but have no resolved the issue. To combat the fatigue from the medication I get up and walk around the office every half hour and take a spin around the parking lot at lunch. I'm not sure I want to get back on the elliptical yet. This is scary, but sitting still waiting is not an option either. Anyway, I read your post and smiled knowing that feeling of NOT letting anything get in the way of my goal.

The feeling of going to your doc with this dramatic change is amazing! Go for your goals and I'm sure you'll achieve them!
And I love sleep so Itll be difficult, but one year and it's over!

Thanks for your inspiring story. I am really happy that you will lead by example to your patients. You will be able to empathize with them, yet be able to encourage them that there is a different way. I should. Be at my goal weight in 3 months and I see my primary doc for my yearly numbers. I cannot wait to see the look on his face when he sees the weight that I have lost!! Plus, I am really courious to see what my numbers turn out to be. Anyway, congrats and good luck with your upcoming rotations. The key for you will be to get as much healthy food in you and as much rest as possible!?!? Thanks again for the post.

Congrats on the lifestyle change. My switch flipped when I lost both of my parent and was diagnosed with prediabetes. A physician friend of mine who specializes in bariatrics is helping me to take off the weight. No surgery...just medical supervised weight loss. I graduate as a Family Nurse Practitioner in the spring, so I can relate to the stress of clinical rotations. I am lucky in that I only have two remaining. One this summer and one next winter. I am working full time as a Clinical Nurse Specialist in addition to school and have two very active teens. Keep the positive attitude and you will have no problem maintaining. After a stressful day...I now workout instead of eating. I feel better both physically and mentally as a result! Feel free to add me as a friend. We can keep each other motivated as we enter the rat race!
