I’ve taken the plunge and joined my local Crossfit box. Looking forward to seeing my progress not just in weight loss but in strength too. I have currently gone for a 2 class a week plan as I just can’t commit to more at the moment. The box starts new ‘athletes’ in the Academy. This…
Workout day 1

Making a better me
A new gym opened up near me recently so I decided to join. It’s not my nearest gym but it is a near strength gym with little cardio equipment and loads of strength equipment, some I’ve not seen in any other gym. So far it hasn’t been too busy so I’m managed to do the…
My continued weight loss
My time in A&E
My time is now up in A&E. I feel I have learnt so much during this placement, the learning experiences, the staff, the patients were all great. I did have some issues though. I am at the start of my 2nd year but some staff appeared to think that I was a 3rd year student…

Where I’m staying on holiday this year – Heathrow
It seems that I don’t go anywhere other that the States for my holidays, I actually don’t. I just love America, it’s history, people, sport and beer! We always go up to the airport the day before and stay in a hotel so as not to rush on the day of the flight, flights to…
Half way through placement # 3
So far I have been on my placement for 3 weeks with 4 weeks left. I’ve worked with my mentor 3 times (all early shifts) and don’t appear to have a buddy mentor, though I have worked with one nurse a lot. I’m not sure what to make of this placement or how I am…
