the joys of working in a hospital
I am normally a pretty healthy person, I rarely get sick. I think that all of my exercise and mostly healthy eating keeps the germs away, plus I believe a little dirt is good for you. Unfortunately what has worked for me the majority of my life doesn't stand a chance against working in a hospital. I've been in my new office for almost 5 months and I've been sick twice. I woke up Thursday with a scratchy throat and it didn't get any better from there.
I had little desire to eat solid food. I started the day with a shake and packed yogurt, etc for lunch. I spent the morning drinking lots of water and tea at my desk, at lunch all I wanted was soup so I used a meal out and bought myself some Italian wedding soup and a soft pretzel (for dipping) from the cafeteria. It was pretty low calorie so I didn't do any damage to my goals, always a plus. Sometime in the afternoon, I found some DayQuil in my purse and took one. It really helped and I considered going to the gym but my trainer told me absolutely not, he wasn't getting sick...so...I skipped the gym.
I came home, curled up on the couch and when Joe got home and asked what we should do for dinner I told him I wanted more soup. Because he's the greatest fiance on the planet, he made me grilled cheese and soup, my favorite! I spent the rest of the evening on the couch watching TV and drinking more tea.
Goals ~ Thursday:
- Water: only got 48 oz but I drank a ton of tea but I'm not sure it counts.
- Healthy Eats: 65
calories left!
- Exercise: nope
- Weekly Focus - 10 Minutes A Day: nope
- Daily Challenge - Posture: I thought about it once or twice but I mostly wanted to lay down all day so I'm sure I was slouching.
Plus my other goals:
- meals out = one
- steps = 6,813
PS - For any local ladies looking for a night out...if I can find a friend to join me I'm going to check it out! Who doesn't like free drinks, cupcakes & shopping?!?!
