Today was another really long day. I did work my hammies though...at work. :)
The very last thing that I did before I left was transfer a patient to a different room on a different floor in the hospital (in his bed). I had the head of the bed, and was pulling, and the charge nurse transferring with me, the foot of the bed and was pushing. When I got off of the elevator and started pulling, I could feel my hamstrings burning, like I was doing backward lunges. It wasn't originally intended but I had an "ah ha" moment, and continued to do that, until we got the patient to his new room (about 600-650 feet) keeping that bit of exercise in mind (for a moment it was about working the hamstrings lol). It felt good. I like to think of this as a Quickfire Challenge, because it was a random thing, I never expected to do and probably won't get a chance to do for a long time.
Just because it was at work, and wasn't intended, I did some crunches after I got home. Two sets of 25. I'm sure I'll feel it in my abs tomorrow, just as I'm sure I'll feel my leg muscles.
Off to bed. I am exhausted. Tomorrow is my last day of work for the week, and it's a good one because it's overtime! Woo hoo! Gotta love the time & 1/2 (48 hours instead of 36).
one day left...
i can do this. I am a star.
Make it count!
