Losin it in Paradise

Quick shut that damn gate…

OMG, work tonight is a disaster!    I have no rooms in the hospital, surgeries still going on, the ER is packed and they have holds, my ICU is full…..someone opened the gates of hell and forgot to close them…

So I had a good morning after I got off work.  Determined to go for my run, I immediately put the shoes on as soon as I walked in the door.  I figured if I sat even for a sec I would procrastinate myself out of running.  So I hit the treadmill and had a great 1.5 mile run.  I felt so good after, pumped and proud.  I have really missed running.   I also did a work with my Wii and today my Wii trainer was very proud of me cause I have lost 3.4 pounds, so instead of the Wii going ouch when I got on, it went Yay….how cool is that?

Eating was good today, I am managing quite well with substituting my soybeans for a treat vs sugar.  I really love those things, and find that  eating them without shelling them first,  sucking the beans out of the shell gives me a sense of working for my food and is very satisfying.  Not just popping them in my mouth and chewing away without any thought.

I am not writing down what I eat on this blog as am using Myfooddiary and don’t want to have to write it down twice, but managed very easily to stay below my allowed calories.

And my run…..just have to savor the moment again.  I am so happy I am up off my ass and running again. 

One more day, one more success…

    You did great with the treadmill and the Wii Fit sounds like a blast. I may have to check that out. I like exercising at home. I can control the music and I don’t have to worry about contracting a staph infection. I am inspired by you and will get back on the bandwagon next Wednesday with my family again. Hugs

    Thanks for giving me a heads up on the nuts. I won’t be so petrified of them anymore - in moderation.

    Thanks for the kind words Mel - you’re a sweetheart - but I guess everybody has already figured that out ;)
