Hi Friends!
It’s a big day over here in Bean Land! I’m so happy to tell you guys that yesterday I passed my registration exam and I am OFFICIALLY A REGISTERED DIETITIAN!!!!!!!!!!!!
I wasn’t planning to take the exam until the end of the month, but my approval paperwork came through faster than expected so I decided to just get it out of the way as soon as possible. I only told about 5 people when I was actually taking the exam because I didn’t want any added pressure or expectations….so it was extra fun to announce it to people on social media yesterday. HUGE thank you to everyone that sent their congratulations and well wishes. I spent yesterday feeling very loved 🙂 I plan to write a whole post about how I studied, what study materials I used, etc because I know a lot of you will be interested, so stay tuned for that!
But for now, I’m just going to enjoy the fact that every ounce of hard work I’ve put in over the last 4.5 years to get me to this point paid off yesterday when I passed that exam!
SO WORTH IT.
Follow your dreams, friends! If you work hard enough, they really do come true 🙂
{Hubby got me these!}
Let’s chat:

Are you chasing a dream right now? What is it?!
Enjoy!

CONGRATULATIONS!!! I’m so happy for you! There’s nothing better than when your dreams come true…and you get pretty flowers! 🙂
Right now I’m chasing the dream of Stand Up Paddle. I’ve been “training” for almost a year and it’s more of a social victory than a physical one because I’m terrified of what people will be thinking. I need to get over myself!
Congratulations!!! What an exciting achievement! 🙂
Congratulations! It always pays off. Now all that hard work will be an afterthought! I don’t think one inkling about all those years in school. Cheers to new beginnings as a professional!
CONGRATULATIONS!!!! So awesome!!
I’m on the track to becoming an RD as well! I have a few more classes left but hopefully this time next year I will hopefully get matched for an internship! I’m looking forward to your posts about studying for the exam 🙂
Congrats again! You should be very proud 🙂
Just stopping by to give you a big WAHOO!!!! Congrats 🙂
Congrats!!!!! That is an amazing accomplishment! I am following my dream as well and I am going to school to be an RD! Hopefully in 4 years when school and hopefully an internship is all over with I will be jumping for joy like you. I appreciate all the posts about your journey and experiences you have gone through, and can’t wait for the post on your studying ways. Congrats again, and thank you for inspiration 🙂
Woohoo!!!! congratuatlions!! you are an inspiration. you followed your dreams, and even though it took a lot of determination and hard work, it has paid off in spades!!
Congrats!!!
Congratulations!! I’ve been following both you and Anne from fANNEtastic food since I started in the dietetics program. I’ve hit a few snags along the way but am fully back on track and should be done next spring!
I’m so excited for you. What an inspiration to go for what you want to do in your life!
I have so many dreams right now, but my most current are (in no particular order although I’m thinking this will probably be the order that it happens):
1 — to become a Mary Kay sales director
2 — run the half marathon that I signed up for in October
3 — begin our family through adoption
Congrats, Lindsay! That exam was so stressful, but at least it tells you immediately whether or not you passed! 🙂
Congratulations!
Those flowers are beautiful…
chasing dreams…my biggest *dream* is to finally land my career, and not just a job. Right now, I have just a job in a company I would like to stay with.
Other dreams…my own business…but trying to figure out what KIND of business is the *issue*
I know it will all come together…thanks for your inspiration!
CONGRATULATIONS!! I’m chasing my dream right now too, it’s another year before I’ll be in your shoes (and getting my license!) but I always love to see other people getting what they want out of life 🙂
Soo soo excited for you! 🙂
CONGRATULATIONS!! As a fellow RD who passed her exam last June I know the HUGE feeling of relief and excitement when you find out. I was told that I would find out if I passed on the computer screen, but at my center an employee had to print out the results. I was lucky enough to have a new employee do this, and she messed something up which delayed my results by about 2 minutes and let me tell you those 2 additonal minutes were agony. Anywho congrats again!
omg same thing happened to me!!! except it was more like 7 minutes. and i almost had a heart attack!!
Ahhhh congratulations!
My dream one day is to become either a dietitian or a doctor. I’m still attempting to decide which! Everything I’m doing in college is in preparation for that, which is kind of scary. It seems so far away!
Congratulations, again! So excited for you! I’m chasing my dream of becoming a photographer and starting up my own business!
Woohoo! Congrats! I’m hoping to become a Health Coach and move by the end of the summer and have a job lined up! Ah! Hopefully it works out 🙂

Congratulations! That’s wonderful. You are a huge inspiration because I am currently studying for a biochemistry final, that feels like the end of the world. It’s not, haha, but sometimes these crazy science classes and exams can bog you down. SO glad that it’s all worth it in the end and there’s a light at the end of the [dietetic] tunnel. Good luck with everything! Very happy for you.
