So yesterday I didn't work out at all. I came home after a very emotionally stressful day. I had a clinical rotation in the ER and without giving out too much information...we had a trauma patient that we lost. I don't know if it was the stress of the day or just a long day in general, but by the time I got home my head was hurting so badly I thought I was going to puke. Actually I wanted to puke, as I thought that it was the only thing that would relieve the tremendous pain in my head. I had no energy or motivation to step on that treadmill.
Today, I was in the ER again due to a scheduling error in my favor. It was a much better day, but they had snacks!!! I ate some M&M's and boy were they yummy. Then I got home and there was a package for me from one of my amazing Mother-in-Laws and she sent me sweet-n-crunchy peanuts and some chocolates....so you can guess what I did. I came down after dinner and did the usual routine of checking emails, myspace, and school stuff. I was in off mode again. Mentally I was telling myself take another day off, but then my body kicked in and told me to get my lazy butt up and moving. I quickly ran upstairs and changed before I could talk myself out of it. I got on the treadmill and did 3 miles and burned about 450 calories. I was trying to make up for yesterday and the movement helped relieve some stress too. Now I am just exhausted and am going to go tuck my kids in and crash. I hope you girls are having a wonderful week.
