What is this thing?

So, its safe to say I have NO idea what I m doing with this whole blogging thing. To be completely honest, my sister got all the tech genes in this family.

Please be patient with me if you visit this site as I'm still figuring out what the heck is going on. Like: how do I edit my "About Me" and how do I add a description. It will all come in time, I'm sure.  But for now, I am just going to tell you all a little about what I plan to use this blog for.

As I am writing this, I am planning my move to Oahu. Honolulu will be my home for the next two years or so as I once again head off to a new school in pursuit of the beginning of the rest of my life. That sounds dramatic but its the truth in this situation. I've had plenty of setbacks in my academic life due to many factors, that will be discussed at length in the upcoming posts as I take you along on this journey.

But for now, suffice it to say, I am moving to Hawaii to study Dietetics. I am enrolling in a DPD program in order to pursue a career as a Registered Dietitian. A lot of you are probably saying Diet- what? Hence the name of the blog.

Well the short of it is, an RD is someone who is specially trained and certified to work with people who want to lose weight, manage a chronic condition or acute disease. They work in clinics, corporations, assisted living homes, hospitals and the like.

So, this blog is the log of transition from mainland Pacific Northwest to Oahu, Hawaii, my background and decision making process, and the road to becoming an RD through moving, schools, and internship.

Along the way, I'll be sharing personal stories, anecdotes, and relevant diet tips. Join me!
