It's like I fell off the grid huh?
Hey there everyone, I guess it seems like I just fell off the grid huh? Man oh man, I am so, so very sorry I'm just now getting a second to update you all. There's just been so much going on this past week and I have been so busy and overloaded.
The good news is I started my job and I've lost 3 of the 5.6 pounds I had gained last week. I'm, hoping in the next 2 days that number will drop even more for a nice Friday weigh in!
I feel so bad, I haven't even been on the internet in the last 3 days. I started my job Monday night @ 9:00 p.m. and I worked my butt off until 7:00 am Tuedays morning- then I came home, showered changed clothes and then I had to be back at the hospital for phase 2 of orientation at 10:30 a.m. and it lasted until 4:30 p.m. So that means I was up for well over 24 hours with no sleep because I got up at 5:00 a.m. Monday morning worked Monday night - came home and then went back for 6 more hours of orientation and then I came home and I cooked and cleaned and I finally went to bed last night at 7:30. I was wore out!
My mom has pretesting this Friday on the 8th and she has her actual surgery on Friday the 22nd. I'm hoping everything will be just fine and that the surgery and the radiation will kill the cancer cells and that she'll be caner free for the rest of her life. I have been praying a lot for her and I feel that everything is gonna be fine.
I tell you what, I'm thinking about investing in a good pedometer. I'm curious as to how far I walk on a nightly basis. If I had to make an educated guess I'd say either 3 or 4 miles a night, but I'd like to know for sure.
I love my new job, it's graphic, messy and I have never worked so hard in all of my life. This is by far the toughest job I've ever had- and I LOVE it. I'm never in the smae place for too long before our pagers go off and we are off to another wing in the hospital. It's wild and crazy and we are always on the go.
Today I have to take my MIL to a vision specialist, she seems to think they can help her. I'm hoping they can, but I'm not holding my breath. So I've gotta hop in the shower and get ready. I don't work until 11:00 p.m. tonight and I'm glad. I have a few things I want to get done around here. The first night I worked I took fruit for my lunch and I LOVED it. I bought a cantaloupe, apples, and white seedless grapes and I took a big container of it, I ate half of it and it was really good. I have been eating very "on plan" and I've just got to increase my water intake. I have been living off diet caffinated drinks while I was at work (AKA - Diet Dr Pepper)*LOL
So I'm gonna make a conscious effort to drink more water. I am not sure when I'll be able to check up on all of y'all but I am gonna TRY to do it today when I get back. I don't have an off day until this coming Monday and Tuesday, and I don't think I can wait that long to see how you all are doing. 
I miss you all so much, I hope you are all doing ok, and losing that weight! I hope each and every single one of you has a great day today!
