Hi friend,
Congrats to you on losing the weight!!! I am sooo sooo proud of you!!! THATS HUGE (or tiny, I guess is more appropriate!!) YAY. Keep on, keeping on! And I am so so sorry you don't feel good.. and I am very thankful that Johnny is there to take care of you... tell him you need soup and soft kitty pronto!
I feel like my blogging has been few and far between lately... busy times! I'm just going to say that today is a craptastic day all around for several things going on at work (nurse commited suicide over the weekend and other stuff that stems from that).. So if this post sounds a bit lethargic, down or boring, my apologies in advance.
So yesterday I woke up at 6:45, went to the gym, and then SHOPPED ALL DAY. Seriously.. from 10am until after 6. While at Ikea I was pushing our big flat bed of furniture and I seriously worked up a sweat (their furniture is heavy!). I was joking to my roommate that my arms were going to hurt today and sure enough.. they hurt. So I guess I can consider that two work outs yesterday. .. I got a lot of fun stuff, but have been super stressed about selling my couch so I can get/afford new stuff.. I know, I'm lame but this is what keeps me up at night. Guess I should be thankful these are my only problems.
So today I woke up around 10 (went to bed after midnight like normal).. Got such a good nights sleep last night! (although, now I feel so exhausted its like I didn't sleep at all). I went to the gym and got a nice run in.. I've been increasing my runs about 2 mins more/day. Today I was really sweating. Felt great. Then I did some abs.. then to the grocery store... then to the dry cleaner. I feel like I do a whole freaking days work before I start my 11 hour shift in the ever-busy Emergency Department. No wonder I am tired all the time. Although, it does feel good and makes me feel like less of a lazy bum, but sometimes I just wish I could work out AFTER work. I still feel like I am always rushing so I can get everything in I want to before I have to go back home, shower, and get ready for work... constant struggle.
So I know I am going to be HORRIBLE this coming weekend.. 5 whole days with my college roommate I haven't seen in YEARS. I know it's going to be a lot of drinking and going out to eat at nice resturants and snacking while we catch up in person. And she is into working out too, BUT my gym doesn't allow guests.. So I'm not going to leave her at my apt while I go work out.. maybe we can get in a couple short runs or nice long walks one of the days at least for some exercise. Was also thinking about driving a bit north to the pokonos and going skiing so that would be some good exercise.... PLUS with her coming I have a TON of laundry to do before hand and get my apt in order.. but am working everyday until she comes.. Thinking I may have to take tomorrow off from the gym and spend that time doing laundry. GRRRR... Sorry, I'm a stressed out disaster right now.... my apologies. So much to do, so little time..
Other than that, just really looking forward to her coming and getting a nice vacation with an old friend to help me destress a bit... I think I need it. Don't know why but little things are really stressing me out lately and I don't like it. I don't get stressed..
Alright, must go back to work and help the kiddos. Pray that I stay awake until 2am to drive myself home =)
Sorry this was all over the place =)
Love you to pieces and FEEL BETTER!!

Just keep swimming, just keep swimming, just keep swimming....
ReplyDeleteEm, you have TOO much going on! I can absolutely empathize, sometimes it just is too much. Especially if you're like me and haven't worked out in MONTHS and all of a sudden want to make it a top priority. Well, no other priorities we had before we started working out again are going to take a back seat, so it looks like we're just going to be stressed.
I think you need to take advice from my last post and incorporate @ least 2 rest days/week. As far as being bad coming up - you deserve it. Be bad. Have fun, who cares if you're skinny little hot ass if you have no fun and are boring as hell!! Well, I don't care I'll tell ya that. I'd rather you be 200 lbs and just as much fun as you are... so keep it in moderation and don't let working out stress you out (stress adds lbs too by the way, so just by chilling out you're technically working out... right?!)
I'm sorry you're so stressed and I'm really sorry to hear about your nurse at work, that's terrible. It's normal to be feeling like you have no control in a situation like this - when it rains it pours.
If you don't get your laundry done, just throw it in a bag and put it in your work locker :) Who cares, she's there to see YOU! Relax and frickin enjoy it. I mean, if you're this high strung when you have visitors, I'm never coming to visit! Kidding, love!! Kidding!!
Feel better. Life will go on, and 1/2 the things you're stressed about are just blips on the radar... so don't let them bring you down. Hugs from StL
You are the best!!! Have I told you lately how lucky I am to have you in my life?!?!?! Seriously, as corny as that sounds... I love our little blog and you helping me out with craptastic days. BIG HUGS from Philly...
ReplyDeleteI gotta say, we're pretty damn lucky!! xoxo
