Atrophy

My goodness!  I feel like I’m losing muscle and my body is turning into blah by the day…I don’t know what happened to my motivation, but somehow I have managed to avoid physical activity for nearly two weeks.  Unfortunately, I can feel it in my tone and general fitness.  Even MORE unfortunate is how little I seem to care.  Ok, that’s inaccurate, I definitely care.  I just am too tired and unmotivated on my days off to take action.  No worries, I have a plan.  But first, my past few days of work eats.

IF…

If you follow my tweets you probably saw that I decided to do a little overtime the other day… If you know my normal work hours (7 am – 7 pm) you may be wondering if I am an overachiever crazy… (Yes, is the short answer)  But because two night nurses called in sick, there were minimal options, and ultimately I decided to stay at the hospital until midnight (when a replacement could arrive).  Class, pull out your calculators.  If you don’t have a calculator I’ll help you out, that makes 17 hours of fun… Read more >

Guess who’s back

Shady’s back Nope.  That’s not right.  It’s ME (duh). I just couldn’t stay away from ya!  At first my time away from blogging (and technology in general) was kinda nice.  But after a week, I really started to miss it!!  Good to know – since this little thing all started as a hobby anyways :)  And as much fun as it has been having no agenda on my days off, it’s also important to keep doing the things you love.  I know I said it before, but I just wanted to emphasize how touched I… Read more >

Hippies Hijack Manhattan

My parents were in town this weekend! :D  They arrived Saturday in the wee early hours and left yesterday (Tuesday afternoon)…and although they were only here for four days (two of which I had to work 12 hour shifts) we still had so much fun.  I was definitely sad to see them go, but I feel pretty lucky that I was able to see them at all.  As I’m sure you’ve heard/read by now, the East Coast weather wasn’t so kind this weekend.  Saturday and Sunday were quite the snow-filled days, which were BEYOND brrrrr… Read more >

Run Fat Boy Run

I sat on the couch all day today.  I did NO exercise, and worse yet, I barely moved my butt even within my own apartment.  In fact, the only reason I ditched my PJs and left my 600 square foot haven was to pick up my freshly pressed dress for this weekend.  But, the dry cleaners is less than 3 blocks from the apartment, so I expended less than 5 calories (and even that is being generous).  Meh.  I’m not pleased with my fitness-less day, but at the same time, I don’t really care.  I… Read more >
