Curves Day #2

Wednesday, August 11, 2010

YAY! Got up earlier than usual and immediately went to Curves! Today I burned just 338 calories, but it is better than not going at all and today was my alternate day which means I am supposed to take it quieter after working out yesterday, my heart rate was up and I was sweating so I know I was working hard but one of the machines was not registering our workout properly but we know we were doing it! When I was there, a friend also arrived so that made it all better! It went faster it seemed working out with her :)

Today I have a busy day, have to go and visit one of my NICU families for followup developmental check, it is about 80 miles each way, but will be taking my water with me, don't like to drink too much prior to a road trip for obvious reasons so will probably have to catch up once I am home, have downed 3 glasses already though.

Am planning on eating light today, have friends coming for hamburgers tonight! Had a boiled egg for breakfast....so so far things are going well today :)

One day at a time......
Christine

Definitely One Day at A Time is the way to go. It is Funny, our Pec~Dec wasn't registering right either!! But it still showed that I burned 4435 calories, so I was Happy. Report Inappropriate Comment

Back on Track

Tuesday, August 10, 2010

Oh so easily I fell off the exercize track :( But I am now back on track! This morning went to Curves and burned 358 calories so I AM BACK! I work with someone who has joined Curves too but as we cannot go to the same Curves cause we live far away...we are going to text to hold each other accountable! I have no excuse except laziness and not making time to exercize. I got my visitor pass today too so that I can go when I am away from home working in another town!
I will try and blog each day how it is going, and that too will keep my accountable!

I LOVE Visiting other Curves!! While we were in Vegas last year I went to the Curves there 3 times--even though I had to take a cab each way. It was worth it! Report Inappropriate Comment

Last Night in the NICU

Sunday, August 08, 2010

Tonight is my last nightshift in the NICU......I am going to be moving TEMPORARILY to the PICU for 2 months. So tonight we ordered out and initially I thought that I had blown my eating plan!!! But now that I have looked for the nutritional information on line it is not as bad as I had thought - of course I looked up the nutritional values AFTER eating the food~! Anyhow I had a pasta bread bowl from Domino's and the whole thing was 600 and something, but that is my eating done now until I wake up this afternoon so all is not lost! The joys of a nightshift nurse :) Now I am chugging back the water to make up for it :) But I enjoyed the meal and now I move on...in the words of another sparkpeople friend.....every new meal is a new chance!

I think working nights helps us pack on the pounds. I've been nights for 20 years now! Hope you do great and love the PICU. I've floated there many times, and I honestly prefer my little ones, but it does have it's rewards! Report Inappropriate Comment

I know you will miss the little tiny ones...but I also know that you enjoy the PICU!! Hope that it is a fun time for you and that all goes well. Was this something that you wanted to do or is it just something that they are making you do to cross train?? Just wondering! Bless your heart-I remmeber those night shifts not so fondly!!! Sure don't know how you ever make it to church!! But if I remember I think I did on my weekend off....whew was it hard to flip back and forth....bless your heart. Hang in there!!

Busy Days

Saturday, July 31, 2010

Well, I have had a busy 2 days....
Yesterday was my son's 14th birthday as well as our yard sale! The birthday boy had a good day despite having to go to school......he got his 1st cellphone.....in our house the rule is that once you start high school that you can have a phone so this was the day! He had researched what he wanted all ready on the internet (that is the kind of kid that he is!) so we knew which one to get :) When he got home from school I called his phone and told him to answer the ringing phone.....oh he was soooo excited! Last night we went to bible study and he asked "what shall I take with me?" when I asked what he meant he said "Well I have never been out with a cellphone before, do I need to take my charger?" PRICELESS!!

Our yard sale went well yesterday but we closed early today due to the rain, but we were still happy with the results and YES it was a lot of work! Of course now that we have packed it all up the sun is out again! We are going to give most of what is left to one of the girls from church who is having a yard sale next weekend!

So I am going to be relaxing the rest of my weekend!



Well today anyhow.....promised the birthday boy that we would do something tomorrow afternoon for his birthday!

Love Christine
