Recovery
“Success consists of going from failure to failure without loss of enthusiasm”…Winston Churchill
Ok, I had three days of complete and total excess…too much food, too much walking, too much shopping (as if) and too much….well lets just say too much….blush!
I had the best time away with DH in Oahu. We talked, and walked and shopped. We went to the Pro Ball block party, we went to the show..also saw Underworld 111 annie, and I loved it :) Course I love anything to do with vampires and werewolves, so the lycans are right up my alley…..but my gawd the vampires were wimpy…never be scared of them again. 
I am afraid to even step on the scale. I was hoping all the walking I did would counter act the over indulgence of the food, but from the feel of my waist band…NOT
Lets just suffice to say, i did not live on salad or sugar free butterscotch puddings this weekend.
So today, no matter how hard it was, I jumped right back into my sensible eating plan….no more ribs and baked potatoes, no more steak and grilled shrimp in butter, no more chocolate caramels…..NO MORE…
And I must also get this butt moving on my runs again as well. I haven’t run since Friday and I am feeling like a mushy blob. Still suffering a bit with my achille’s tendon being really sore. I am wearing a brace on it and that helps a bit. I also found when I ran, it got better, so will see how it feels after my run tomorrow.
New schedule out and I am so sorry, but my boss is the worst damn schedule maker there is…she has me going 9 days in a row. She has me teaching ACLS for two day shifts, then a 8 hour evening shift, three twelves, then a 16 hour shift, then two more 8s…..WTF She is crazy, I am going to have a chat with her tomorrow cause that is ridiculous. I am too fuckin old for this shit all the time. I decided it was time for me to cut back a little and not do all these crazy hours and then she comes up with that damn schedule. I am livid….. grrrrrr snarl
Almost, not quite, but almost put me in a bad mood, but after my nice weekend away, I am refusing to allow anything to fuck me up right now….
So hopefully Weds weigh will not be too horrid. I have not gotten on my Wii Fit since I got back, so will do so tomorrow. Hope my trainer is not too mean. Tomorrow is my one precious day off now until February 23rd, so I had better enjoy it…WTF
Keep the fingers crossed for my weigh in…
Ciao….

Fingers (and toes) crossed as requested for your weigh-in, but I DO believe that a little excess once in a while is good for the soul, y’know. (Oh - except for excess WORK that is!!! You definitely need to have a chat with that dingbat of a scheduler - what’s she trying to do? Have you drop dead of exhaustion?) Remember one of my favorite quotes…”JUST SAY NO…!!!”
I’m so glad you enjoyed your getaway - weigh-in-smeigh-in - you’re already back on track, so everything’s fine and dandy. (And yes - if I gathered up my courage and moved to the tropics, they’d never get ME back to the land of ice and snow, either!
Hugs,

I agree wholeheartedly with Ella on both your boss and your vacation.
I think you really need to say no to her. What kind of stupid scheduling she is doing. I was going to say that just call in sick a few times to fix her. But in your line of work, that’s not good. Plus no point losing your good nature because of her. But do print out a few of these crazy schedules and show it to her (and above, if needed) and point out the long term inefficiency going on. Or wait a bit till the recession eases a bit and then hit her on the head.
So good to hear that your vacay went soooo well. Eating as you want sometimes is good for you. Dont worry and no guilt please for being happy.
Lots of love,
iniya
OMG! Is your boss trying to kill you! That is a horrible schedule. I could not give that kind of schedule to anyone. I might do it to myself but not force it on anybody! You are not a vampire and you do need sleep and rest and comfort. I am just all fired up after reading that.
I am glad you and hubby had a nice time on Oahu. That is where my hubby and I are going in May. He has never been to any of the islands and I thought that would give him a lot to see and do. I can’t wait to snorkle!
Don’t fear the scale. I am sure you did fine. Water weight most of it and that will drain right out when you start your schedule from hell!
I can send you sugar free butterscotch pudding. It’s light and I should be able to mail a ton of it to you. Let me know. I would be happy to do it and I really mean it.
Welcome back SHUGA!
Good to see you
You running fool you! I’ve got NO DOUBT that this didn’t EVEN affect you - you’ll be in running form again in a minute!
That boss, ;( - geez. Don’t let her get ya babes…. NO WAY!
