Daily Health as a Respiratory Therapist
12 hours shifts?, 8 hour shifts? My son?, 10mins to get to work? 5 mins to get to clinicals?, Midterm Tomorrow!?, Party? I can’t make it!
The most common things I hear around a Respiratory Therapist or any med student. Even our best friends, the RNs say the same thing. We have no life for the next 2 years. So I realized that for most college students or even college mothers, fathers, student they have no time. So they sacrifice health for time for the time being. So lets say you have a class from 1000-1230. Then you have another one at 1300-1430. Then work at 1530-2200. How will you manage your diet? At situations like this all you do is go to mcdonalds buy a damn big mac and call it a lunch. Some people act like they should go to “subway” for a healthy meal. Good for you.
But can you actually go to subway everyday? ( I done it for 2 months straight 4x a week) I don’t think so. Even though its been done by uhh.. what’s that guys name? I doubt 100% of the population can do it too.
As some people know… I’m sure anyone reading this will not know (if you can find my workout blog) but I lost 30lbs over the course of 3-4 months. I would link it but that would show my identity. But thats not what this blog post is about.
I just want everyone to be aware that in all the studying, you can gain weight (except u skinny people!! LOL j/p) I gained 10-15lbs in a span of 6months because of studying (or maybe cuz im just fat?).
