Happy New Year from Educator Eats--New Year and a new Blog....Prevention based medicine: Prevention and Quality : Defining the Terms

Good Jan. 2nd to you!!!!    Hope your New Year has started off as good as mine.  I am another year older and would like to think that I am smarter and wiser, too!  I have been on a break from blogging and I hope to get back in the swing of things soon.  However, as my work duties have increased and I am now starting an online course to prepare me for the CDE (Certified Diabetes Educator Exam), I may be a bit consumed. After I pass this exam, I will then have an RN, BSN, CDE behind my name.  I should have done this a long time ago, since I practice Diabetes Education every day that I work, but, now seems like the right time.  I am going for it!

 This past year has been wonderful and busy for me, in my career, as well as home life.  I have started an Employee Wellness Program from the ground up at my place of employment for 106 employees,  have increased my hours to see more patients, and have also been placed on a committee to better help serve our patients.

With the increase of work hours, my family life has been busier, too.  I have found that the older my kidos get, the less we are at home.  With 2 kids in travel soccer, oldest in piano, cheer and school soccer, middle son in basketball, golf, baseball, and the youngest boy trying all new sports. We are in the van a lot!  It is really hard to eat healthy and prepare nutritious food on the run, so that will be my focus this year!

   In the meantime.....I wanted to share with all of you a new Blog.  Below is the link to the provider I work with's Blog.  He is one of the smartest, most caring, amazing physician's I have worked with and I have been in Healthcare for over 15 years.  Please follow his Blog...I know you will learn lots!  Be on the lookout for some quick smoothie recipes that I have recently tried for myself and my family.
 Happy New Year....May this be the best year yet!
