Diet Update.........................

[disneydream06]

Well, the old scale ticked up a tiny bit, but I was expecting a whole lot more, so I won't complain.
I haven't been eating bad, but I have been eating too much.
And at the grindstone I have been spending most nights babysitting confused or needy patients which means little physical movement. I sit in a room, and walk a step or two back and forth to the bed.
That sure doesn't burn calories.

You know the answers ... more moderation, more exercise ... I wonder what your patients would do if you started doing jumping jacks in their rooms. LOL!

[disneydream06]

If I would stop babysitting every night and have to run the floor it would help.

[mrdreamjeans]

Tell the staff you have to put in a certain number of steps in every shift and they have to help you make it happen!

[disneydream06]

That only works if you are a nurse.
I have watched many nurses walking up and down the hallways "getting their steps in". :o

[mrdreamjeans]

After 40+ years of CNA experience, they should give you credit toward a nursing degree. Your practical experience should count for something!

[disneydream06]

I use to joke with people when they told I should go back to school, that I was just waiting to be grandfathered into being a nurse. LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[mrdreamjeans]

I wonder if that would be possible. :)

[disneydream06]

I won't hold my breath. :p

It is so hard to be active at work, for me too. I mostly sit all day unless I have to go to the bathroom, lol.

[disneydream06]

Hopefully once Spring shows it's face, I can get Maggie out a little more. :o

[kaishin108]

Yes! I finally took Zilly for a longer walk today! It does help :)

Hugs, Helen

Our big snow storm starts tomorrow afternoon.
They are talking 20 inches now. :o

[kaishin108]

Holy....
20 inches is 19 inches too much!

[disneydream06]

Amen to that. :o

[kaishin108]

I am settling into the Spring of delusion, ha hah!!

[disneydream06]

Oh No... :o

[kaishin108]

I think I wrote this on the wrong post. I was talking about the weather not weight, hee hee. But my weight loss is starting to feel like a delusion too...So I guess I might just go with that! LOL!!!!!!

[disneydream06]

Both are pretty delusional. :o :o :o

[kaishin108]

That's true! LOL!!!!

Sorry if this is intruding, but you commented on elven_maiden's journal that you wanted glasses. Please pick out a pair and I will get them delivered.

[armiphlage]

I cover the cost of that too.
