a work weekend
Jul 04 2009 06:58

hmmm... another weekend at work.  It's a catch 22 for me.  I work two 12 hr shifts so I really don't feel like exercising on top of working.  If I were to do it before my 6am shift started, I would need to be up like at 3am.  That's nuts.  And after 12 hours of patient care, I just don't have it in me to walk for thirty minutes or lift some weights.  So, I don't work out on the days I work.

But, I don't eat that much at work either.  I don't have time.  As long as I don't visit the coffee shop for a high cal coffee treat; I do pretty well on the calorie intake.  And I do walk a lot (at least half of my 12 hours are spent walking) at moderate-to-brisk pace. 

With all of this in consideration, I hope the 'no exercise weekends' balance out.

Blessed Be
