Did anyone guess correctly? I was at a CPR certification training! Actually, we went to an advanced emergency professionals’ training so I am AED/CPR certified now. Also exciting was that it finished earlier than scheduled at 3:30.
We got a late start this morning (more on that later*) so we had to rush to the American Red Cross center. It was so hot outside that even speed walking felt like a major chore! I was sweaty and sticky and my thighs hurt from all the Warriors in hot yoga yesterday! I didn’t get a chance to eat breakfast but I felt myself getting a little sleepy so at the 10:30 break I bought this winning combo –
I shared a few lifesavers with Adam but the sugar/caffeine combo was just what I needed.
When we broke for lunch Adam and I went to the deli next-door, the only food spot for blocks, and I got paninnis. Mine was The Chipoltes grilled chicken, salsa, chipolte, avocado, swiss, lettuce, tomato, and mayo.
It was pretty tasty but super duper spicy. I ate 90% of the sandwich but left most of the chips.
The day consisted of lecture, video, practice; repeat for each topic. This was my first class ever so while I knew the basics I found it very informative. We had a 40question test before we were certified and I only missed 1 question (and the teacher said it was a stupid, poorly worded question)!
This evening we have to make a teensy grocery trip, make dinner, and even though I’m sore I would love some sort of mini work-out. See you this evening!
*later – I realized I had yet to set yearly goals for 24, I like to do them on New Years and birthdays. Here we go:
- Go to bed earlier…
- …and wake up earlier!
- Complete at least one of the prerequisites for the RD programs.
- Run more regularly…
- …and complete a half marathon!
- And finally, since I had to weigh myself to program my heart rate monitor and I practically fell off the scale in shock, lose 10pounds.
Are you CPR certified? Why did you decided to take the course?
Do you set birthday goals too, just New Year’s ones, or none at all?
Eating Chalk 
yay cpr!!! i will feel so safe having dinner with you tomorrow night 🙂
i got cpr certified when i was 12. i think the certification may have lapsed by now?
While I am not up to date on my CPR certification…I have been and have taken the class about 7 times (for lifeguarding purposes throughout high school/college). I admire your interest in the class – I always wanted to poke my eye out during those long days! I also wish that I set goals at milestones in my life – but usually once or twice throughout the year I will “resolve” to do things usually pertaining to exercise/diet. Good work, girl.
ohhh CPR! cool. i am def not certified. that is so neat!
Hi! This is Wendy from the American Red Cross. Congratulations on your certification!
thanks, Wendy! I had a great time getting it and I learned a lot.
woohoo CPR! what a good skill!
I make N Y’s resolutions all the time, but i barely stick to those so i don’t bother with the bday ones 🙂
see you soon!
Ok, I’m going to deliberately choke on something at dinner tonight, just to test you. 😉 Congrats on your certification! Seeya later…
I like setting birthday goals! They feel more REAL than new years’ goals (or maybe just less cliched . . .).
