Ahhh, Friday!

I spent all day yesterday feeling like it was Friday. Let me tell you, when you work a varied schedule of 3 shifts, each lasting 12 hours, you tend to get your days mixed up. And I've noticed that Fridays are nowhere NEAR as exciting as they used to be when I worked at a regular 9-5. I miss that. Fridays were magical almost. You spent the whole day excited about whatever weekend plans you'd made, and everyone at work is all jovial. It's not like that in a 24/7 hospital.

Onto work for a moment. Last night was good night. I was busy, but I had great patients. I still fell victim to stress eating. I'd brought leftover veggie pizza and had planned to use about 10 points on that. Well, our hospital likes to bribe us with pizza from Papa John's whenever they screw us with staffing and kill us with ER admissions. So, I had 2 slices of Papa John's cheese pizza (I don't even LIKE Papa John's pizza...), THEN about an hour later I picked at my pizza, which had sort of gotten soggy, so I basically just ate a piece of the crust and tossed the soggy remnants. Then I ate half of a chocolate glazed doughnut (I don't really like doughnuts either), and went back for another whole one, plus some milk to wash it down. WHY?!?!?!? I left work feeling so disgusted with myself.

I skipped weighing in today since Friday is my official day. I usually will not weigh anyway if I've worked the night before because I find that after being on my feet for 12 hours, and awake and eating at weird times of the night, I weigh more. Shocker, I know. And then if I go home and sleep and weigh myself at 2 or 3pm after sleeping, I weigh more than if I'd weighed on a regular morning after not having worked all night. I take this weighing thing very seriously. I will do it tomorrow. Hopefully I can be good tonight. I'd planned on making this fabulous "guacamole" out of peas and avocado. You only use 1 avocado per batch (I make a double batch because it is so awesomely good) and use peas for the rest of the bulk. It doesn't really taste anything like guacamole. It's as if you took guacamole and made it taste greener and healthier. Yum. I have a bag of blue corn chips just waiting to dive in. 1/2 C of the Mock Guac, as I call it, is 2 points. And worth every point.

I'm sitting here trying to wake up after sleeping this morning/afternoon. I'm also playing referee between my BF's dog and my cat. We basically have to keep one on each floor so they don't go crazy and kill each other. I'm pretty sure Brody (the dog) is all talk. Chloe (my kitty) would actually probably kick his ass if she weren't so freaked out by his shrill bark!

I already have my workout clothes on and am gearing up to get myself to the gym. I need a good soul-cleansing workout. I guess I should go do that so I can be home by the time BF gets home. I am so happy he's here over the next couple of weeks!
