Whine is a Not a Food Group Anymore


 

The Game of Life 2 or Now What City?

I would hope that you noticed the name change of this blog from "Whine is a Food Group, Right?" to "From Degree to RD".  The previous name was funny (so I thought) but I recently decided it is not the direction I want to be headed.  (It also made me sound like I possibly had a drinking problem).  I started this blog as an emotional release of my frustrations and discouragement.  I felt like I didn't fit in the professional nutrition world.  But do you know what?  I don't want to whine anymore.  I've realized it is more effective to replace "whining" energy with productivity and positive thoughts.  Whining is not a priority of mine, I'd rather emphasize overcoming roadblocks with class (and humor) to help others get from degree to RD.  It's time to manage this journey one day at a time, and get the most I can out of each day.

If I pictured my life as a board game, the start would be my degree and the finish would be placing an RD after my name.  I guess it could be like the Game of Life, minus the babies and retirement (hopefully it won't take me that long to become an RD!)  Or Monopoly, minus going to jail. Or Operation? I don't know, maybe the game description is innapropriate because this is not a race.  I already know others are ahead of me, and I couldn't be more happy for them and where they are at.  It is time to remember I have a destination too and no matter how many times my turn may be skipped or I get sent back to start I will keep going.
