Tomorrow's goals
My four goals for tomorrow…
1) As I mentioned before, I am training to complete my first marathon so tomorrow I am back at my marathon training. Tomorrow is a 10 miler, which I hope to complete in under 1 hr. 30 min.
2) I will call the VIHA Social Worker to see about work/volunteer opportunities.
3) I will call Rogers and Shaw re: some billing “issues” I have….
4) I...
Review of yesterday's/today's goals
With coming off of nights, it’s a little confusing as to what “day” it is, as you basically lose a day but here it goes….my goals for yesterday/today:
1) as crazy as it sounds, I have a field hockey game that I need to meet my team for at 9:30 am (so, that means MAYBE a one hour nap before) and then we drive an hour to the game… so my goal for the game is simply to...
Goals....
Ok, my four goals for tomorrow are going to be “light”. What I mean is that at 6:30 am (so in an hour and a half) I will be getting off work and it will be my weekend. However, my next week at work, I am back to days, so I need to turn my body around to being awake at human hours…;) Thus, having “light” goals!;)
1) as crazy as it sounds, I have a field hockey...
well....that could have gone better...
My goals for today? Yea, EPIC FAIL! I want to get out of the habit of making excuses but my excuse for not completing a SINGLE goal would be that tonight was my day 4 (I have four day work weeks) of night shifts and I was feeling gassed from start to finish. I did a little bit of the workout goal - 50 pushups (my arms felt like jell-o doing them!), 100 situps, and 50 burpees. That’s it.
...
And now….two things that I am proud of myself for….hmm. Would it be bad to - again use “dragging myself out of bed to go for a run”? Yea, I guess so. Every day should be something new. So…
1) I had to work with someone tonight that I have had some less than positive experiences with - shall I say, “cocky male chauvinist”?!;) Those types get nowhere...
Re-cap of today's goals
Four goals that I will accomplish tomorrow:
1) I will get up and go for at least a 3 mile run tomorrow before work. SUCCESS! - I ran 3.5 miles….3.5 slow, painful miles. I was not feeling the run and the rainy weather didn’t help, BUT I did it! YAY! I feel good for not being lazy and quitting.
2) I will email the Hospital Social Work contact I have to see if we can set up a time to...

Two things that I am proud of myself for today:
1) for dragging my sorry ass out of bed today, when I was overcome with anxiety about my life and actually going for the run that I had wanted to do. I got up and ran 3.7 miles and felt fantastic both during and after. I was really happy that I didn’t choose to stay in bed or lounge around until I had to go to work.
2) for having a...

I'm back....
So, I disappeared for a little while…I was on holidays for a couple of weeks and then I have just been a little “down in the dumps” lately. I have been trying to find another job, more in my field, for a while now and there is just so few opportunities out there! It’s extremely frustrating because I really feel my age is creeping up and that I should be more settled into...

Making a difference
The other night, I was talking with someone that I will call a friend, even though we have had very few conversations. It was funny, she is about a decade (or more) older, we barely “know” each other, and she appears to be one of those people that everyone flocks to and adores - yet, she tells me that I know her better than most people. In many ways, I pride myself on my ability to...

Fear
Well, this block of days off has been a little less productive than I had planned but I managed to come down with the flu - c’est la vie, as they say;) Really, I can’t complain - I basically never get sick, so being sick for a few days is something I can handle;)
Anyhow, of course during my extended stint on the couch, sniffling away, I watched a fair amount of tv and movies. One of...
