Day 341 (day 5 / week 48)

Tuesday, December 8, 2009

I was still sick but went to work anyway. I took some Claritin for the sneezing, runny nose and eyes and some cold medicine (Vicks cold and flu) for the coughing, body aches and everything else that I felt. They masked my symptoms pretty well for the most part (I forgot to bring the Vicks to work with me), except for losing my voice.

At about noon, I started to feel pretty crappy but I sucked it up because another CNA actually went home early because she wasn't feeling well and I didn't want to cause two times the drama. I figured I didn't have to work on Wed, so I would just finish and get the day over with.

I ended up getting 1/2 of her workload, which was hard, but great for exercise! I walked 18,711 steps! I think that's the most I have ever done in a workday since I started tracking steps (that's 8.86 miles!). I did all of my normal work things, including taking the stairs (my butt burns every time I take them!).

I was glad when the day was over and done with. Exhausted, but glad. I even finished on time thanks to His awesome graces.

The Monkey Boy spent the night at his Nana and Papa's house, so I will get to focus 100% on exercise in the morning. Yaay!

Hope you had a great night!

I can do this. I am a star.
