Day 227 (day 3 / week 33)

I worked yesterday and boy was I tired when I got home. I don't know if I am going to be wanting to do any exercise afterward, so I am going to have to do my best to get out of the house earlier in the morning, to get at least 30 minutes, on the days that I work. On the days that I have off, like today, I am just going to have to suck up the fact that my feet hurt, I'm tired, and just want to relax, and make it count. I've learned that the instant gratification that I so craved before, isn't so worth it in the grander scheme of things. Besides, what's an hour or two, of my entire day. The earlier I get it done, the more of the day I have to be lazy.

My schedule is a little wonky right now, so I'm not sure when I am supposed to be on again. The charge nurse on the pod I worked on yesterday and I thought we had created a schedule for me for this month, but it turns out that it was for September. I didn't notice this until last night when I was telling my hubby my schedule and he looked at his calendar and said it didn't make sense. No wonder it didn't make sense. It was September. Now I can't get a hold of anyone to help me fix my schedule. I just need to be patient and wait a little longer I guess (It's only been 2 hours since I left a message).

Today I put on my new "work" shoes, and went for a walk. I thought it was at least 4 miles, but it was only 3.5. I wore my sculpting gloves, and brought 2 full bottles of water out with me (weights) and just walked. My feet feel great in these new shoes. I think I am going to use these as my new walking/jogging shoes (haven't given up on the C25K thing yet, but that's another blog post) and my old(er) walking/jogging shoes for work, since no one said anything to me about them in the last few days.

Including my warm up and cool down, it took me 90 minutes to go that short distance (tisk tisk), and I burned 921 calories. It felt good to get out and do something in more than 20-30 minutes, although it was in 90F and the sun was beating down on me (praise God for sunblock!).

Today I am going to go get my work watch band fixed and hopefully get a hold of a charge nurse to fix my schedule.

I still need to fix my blog background so everyone can see my blog.

Make today count! It'll be over before you know it (the making it count part AND the day!)

I can do this. I am a star.
