So the blog looks a little plain right now. I had to back it up to do some work and didn’t pay too much attention how to do things when Kristin and I set it up. So I am going to wait it out until she comes back from Disney to fix everything so I don’t mess it up too badly. :)

I missed the gym on Friday. My husband wasn’t feeling so well so I decided to stay home until he was feeling a little better. Then my daughter and I had to go to my niece’s dance recital. To make up for it I went both Saturday and Sunday.

On Saturday I did 30 minutes on the elliptical and about 30 minutes of lower body weight training. Sunday I did 20 minutes of upper body weight training and 45 minutes on the treadmill. Tuesday I did 40 minutes on the treadmill and 25 minutes of lower body weight training. So far I have been doing really good on going every other day! I’ve only had the one mishap where I had to go the next day but I haven’t missed any workouts! It’s been almost a month already.

I’m excited by the fact that I only have two more modules for the first part of my Medical Transcription course left! I’m getting so close!

I’m super excited by the fact that I just got to 50% done with the first part of my Medical Transcription course. :) Next up is the Mid Term then I think I start getting into the serious transcribing. Exciting!

I am going to the gym today for lower body and cardio, but haven’t made it yet. How is everyone else doing with workouts??

I’ve had a few people asking questions about the course I am taking on Medical Transcription. I am taking it through my local community college and they use Career Step for the training. I really like it so far, I have been in the course for almost 3 months and am almost 50% done with the first section. The course is broken down into two sections. The first one is longer than the second, and both courses together should take you under one year to complete. After you have completed the course they are supposed to help you to find a job and any other help you might need for a certain amount of time after finishing your course work. It is all self-paced and online. They have forums and chat rooms so that you can talk to other people also taking the course. I have talked to a lot of people all over the US taking it.

Before deciding to take this course I was looking up the demand there is for Medical Transcription. According to the website for my state Medical Transcription jobs are on the rise. They are predicted to make a decent increase over the next few years, they are mostly work from home positions, they offer benefits, usually have flexible hours. The training is really not very hard and after you have finished your course and gotten a job any further training you would need is usually provided by the employer. I have really thought about doing this for years and am happy that I have finally signed up to get started. So far the training has gone really easily. Career Step has made a great course, it’s easy to follow.
