#SweatPink!

Remember how I was talking about how much I loved the fitness/blogging community? :D

Well, I liked the camaraderie so much that I applied for another ambassadorship not so long ago. :D I’d like to draw some attention to that shiny & SUPAH-SPIFFY new badge hangin’ out on my sidebar…I am proud to say that I’m now a #SweatPink Ambassador as well! :D

The #SweatPink Ambassador community was built by Jamie & Alyse is a place for enthusiastic, positive, and inspirational people to connect and support each other in reaching their goals around health, fitness, life…and more. Since the start of this year has been charged with so many awesome goals, ideas and plans, how perfect is it that this is a place where we come together and celebrate what we have and reach for even more?I’m all for self-love and appreciation, and I also believe there’s gotta be a balance between that and striving for continual self-improvement.

I love that Sweat Pink promotes assertiveness, strength and ambition as important qualities for us to keep kickin’ butt at what we’re doing while supporting those around us who are also working on their own dreams. <3

Cue me doin’ my happy dance!

As you may perhaps have noticed, my happy dance is fairly contained because my 7-year-old self accidentally hit someone in the face whilst dancing with joy. TRUE STORY. ._.

I was completely horrified and apologized profusely, but the lady just glared at me and stormed away. :'(

Join us for the #NoExcuses #SweatPink challenge! I don’t know about you, but 99.5% of the patients I worked with have had gained at least several pounds and were sporting higher cholesterol, blood pressures, and HbA1C’s* after the holidays. I myself have been so cold that I basically live curled up next to my new best friend, the space heater, and my super-awesome foster kitty.

*(The 3-month marker for your blood glucose levels–diabetes ain’t fun, so please take care of yourselves!)

I’m a total wimp when it comes to the cold. (I blame my California roots.) I also took a break from working out last week in order to buckle down on studying for my end-rotation exam (full of all sorts of fun, I know).

My hospital’s gym and the gym that I go to for TKD/BJJ have both completely revamped their entire schedules, and I’m excited to see how many classes I can cram into my schedule before I collapse into a puddle and die! :D! (Yeah, Farrah, that’s the spirit! <3)

I am off to start my Pediatrics rotation on Monday, and I’d like to think that a little extra fitness in my life will hopefully help to ward off the inevitable colds and other loveliness that I will get from the tiny human petri dishes kids I’ll be working with next week! :O
