hack hack wheeze wheeze February 19, 2009
wow, what a stressful few days!! I now officially have a full blown cold. This is no head cold though, it went straight to my chest and hasn’t budged. You know those little mucus guys on the muccinex commercial? you know the big green blobby guys that make their home in the lungs, yeah, well I think i must have a whole city of those little mucus guys living in my lungs (muccinex in, mucus out!) yeah right. so i’ve been hacking and wheezing for days. I did my new neonatal/babies class which is totally stressful. see, the hospital i work in currently is strictly for adults only. no kiddies or babies. Now that we are moving to a brand new hospital, they have decided to add to our duties. We are now going to have an OB/nursery. So we have to be at high risk deliveries and take care of little babies when they have difficulty breathing, or are way premature. Now, I think it will be exciting, and i am looking forward to being in the deliveries, BUT i am scared! I dont want the little babies lives in my hands. Im comfortable with adults, but babies…not so much. Then today I went on the tour of the new hospital. The place is beautiful, smells great. every thing is shiny and new. BUT (there’s always a but right?) but, its so freakin big!! Its going to take forever to find my way around that place. Its just scary. change usually is, right?
So even though i have been hacking up a lung or two, ive managed to work out the last few days. It hasn’t been easy and I know i probably shouldn’t be doing it. I am just so sick of how slow my weight loss has been going lately, i didn’t want it to slow down even more. Today i did an AB class along with spin. The things she had us doing were just unreal! now i feel like a flimsy noodle. Im a sore girl tonight. I know why my weight loss isn’t moving along as I would like. Its my fault. Even though i keep telling myself im going to cut down on cheats. i still did it this week. I know that if I just cut out the cheats and stay on track i will start to drop the lbs quickly. so, once again that is my goal…..gotta keep trying, I WONT GIVE UP THIS GOAL!! because I know this is the thing that is holding me back.
B-fruit smoothie with nonfat greek yogurt (strawberries, peach, orange)
L-grilled chicken wrap with light honey mustard
S- cottage cheese doubles with apples and cinnamon
S- sugar free, non fat iced latte from mc d’s
D- lentil soup, one sausage link (yum) so far total=1300calories
I’ll probably have a small snack later
BLECH! Truly disgusting visual darling! BLECH!
I hope you feel better and can offer us nicer descriptions soon.
No, seriously - that sucks bad and I want you to get well.
Babies are surprisingly tough resilient little things. Don’t be skerred!
My weight loss stalled and slowed right before I hit the 1’s. My gosh, it was suspenseful, I just wanted to weigh 199.9 already! You’ll blast there soon. Maybe your illness will have a bright side to it and help you along? Who knows. FWIW, my weight loss always slowed right before an illness too. It may have more to do with that than you think.
Yes - a cutie is a small orange. You need a cutie or 20, vitamin c is a proven green mucous guy killer.
I think the Calirfornia Cuties are the most popular clementine. Sometimes called a mandarin. They’re really easy to peel, sweet to eat, great for on the run and just da bomb when in season. My hubby and I went through aleast 60 lbs of it this year. Yum.
I hope you feel better. It’s great to be determined. But take care of yourself as well.
I know that thing: ‘I know what I’m doing wrong’… LOL it’s a tough one sometimes to get away from the snacking and the cheating. But you’ll do it. Hopefully it doesn’t matter how many times you fall as long as you keep getting up.
I SO love newborn babies and their first few months. So adorable. I totally understand though that it would be sad and scary to work with ICU babies. The delivery might be interesting, but I can see how all of it would be stressful especially at first. I think you’d make a great delivery nurse with that great personality , cute smiley face… but that means you’ll be getting flashed a WHOLE lot more!
Hang in there, get better!
I think ive had those cuties before. they are good. i like the navel oranges though. thanks for the support guys. I think the deliveries will be fun, just not taking care of the poor sick babies
its something i’ll have to get used to.
