So I haven’t been to the army unit in months, I still want to go through with it all but after the first few weeks of not going I just didn’t feel I could go back. My running is still not at the correct speed, I have gotten to 10min miles but I need 9.3…

Running and army
I haven’t been going to the Army Reserves much lately. I am still applying but I’m just needing to work on my run. Now to my running. It does appear to be improving at all. I have the Army RRMT on 2nd July so 8 weeks to get my time to 14 min. Should be…
The worst interview ever and other things!!!
So I had my 2nd nursing interview on 19th April and it didn’t go well at all! My time was 12:30 but I didn’t get called in till 12:45/50 and I was out by 13:20. I um-ed & ah-ed too much, I made no sense and really didn’t answer the question well. I won’t be…
weight, fitness, debt and more…
As you can see I am terrible lately of updating this blog. Weight I put on a few lbs 🙁 At one point I was up to 150 but today I am 147. Fitness I joined the local David Lloyd Health Club, I was just not going to the leisure centre and like the fact…
55 weeks to fabulous – week 14
Aim is to look and feel fabulous by New Years 2016. On Tuesday I was to a Army PDA assessment where I did a 1.5 mile run. I did it in 16:15 but need to do it in 14 or less. I didn’t stop once though so that was good. On Saturday I did the…
Nurse training
As you know I am aiming to go into nurse training and had my first interview last Monday. I finally received the application form for the Open Uni degree which doesn’t look to hard but I need to do a personal statement and a 250 word discussion on person centred care and how it affects…
The nurse training interview
I am looking to start my nurse training within the next two years. Yesterday I had my day one interview for the Open Uni, a 4.5 year online nurse degree. I want to get the training through my trust as it looks like the only viable option finance wise. Day one was to cut people…
The Fitbit Zip v The Surge
I thought I was going to be doing a post on the huge difference in the data between the Zip and the Surge but then I realised that the Zip was set to km not miles. Sunday 28th Feb data The Surge compared to The Zip – Steps: 11408 (Surge) 10376 (Zip) ⇑1032 Distance: 5.21…
The Fitbit Surge
So I bought the Fitbit Surge yesterday, so today will be my first full day 0f data. Right to set the Surge up isn’t as easy as it is with the other Fitbit models. Most people now will have Windows 10, if they don’t use a Mac, Windows 10 has it’s own Fitbit App. I…
Getting in the property ladder
Being in the work position that I am, I have always assumed that I’d never get on the property ladder and I would be forever reliant on rentals. If I stay where I am in 2 years I’ll be at the top of the NHS band 2 scale but there will be no progression after…
