Big Girl YO

This is probably my most important post to date!! Why? Cause my dream came true! I PASSED MY RD EXAM AND I AM OFFICIALLY A REGISTERED DIETITIAN!!! This did happen a month ago today, however I have been having too much fun actually BEING a dietitian :). So about this test. During it, do I even remember any of the questions? Nope. Do I even think anything i studied for was even on it? Not at all. Was i freezing? Yep, my hands were purple. I had ear plugs in and kept thinking of how they weren't even working cause I still heard the architecture men flipping pages for their OPEN BOOK test. Ugh, shut up old men. After every question I was like "well, missed that one!" and finally after answering 150 questions, I questioned if I should just walk out and say "Hey, don't worry about telling me the results.. i'm good. See ya when I reschedule." Things like what happened next is why I know there is a God, he must have changed the answers as I clicked them. I swear it was the best feeling in the whole world after seeing "congratulations....awkjehfauihgae" I couldn't even tell you what the remaining text was because all I cared about was "congratulations". I literally hugged the test proctor and cried and she also cried and it was just a beautiful moment. I sat in my car in the parking lot crying.. so happy.. for a little more than an hour. Then I took it in. I passed. I passed something I went to school for my whole life.. I passed something I had been studying for for 4 months and did a 1 year internship for. I DID IT. I am out of jail. It made me feel as if I had been an obese person for my whole life and all of a sudden woke up one morning and lost all the weight.. like it was all off my shoulders and I was free. Top 5 best feelings I have ever had in my life.  I only hope everyone else has as much passion about their career as I do. Now onto my next steps with my current job, and I couldn't be MORE excited.

So anyway, I had my women's half marathon race this weekend! After this one, I'm just going to give myself a break. It was mentally and physically harder on my body than any other race i've been in. I'm not sure what really happened, but i've come to terms with the fact that I need to rest for a bit. I was training for this race as if I HAD to win and there was no other choice. I definitely think it's important for runners to remember why they're running. Not to win, but for peace.. that runners high.. etc. Not to feel like you're being chased by thousands of runners for 13.1 miles. That's what it came down to. 

In other news, my sister and I moved into our own new place!!! We are so excited to have moved out of the house (other than college apartments for 4 years, come on, we're not THAT lame..), and into a place where it's just me and my girl. WEEEEE!!!!!
