Oh my goodness, I am so incredibly, irrationally excited to do this 5k. A girl who graduated a semester before me posted this on Facebook, and I checked it out, and was immediately on board to do this. Sure, wearing a mustache and aviators is not my usual look, but it just sounds like such fun. I just got confirmation that Mike was able to get the day off, so we can actually do this!! So, definitely gonna be doing 3 5Ks this year instead of the one I was aiming for. I feel really good about this!
I have been good tracking wise since Saturday, except for Sunday. Sunday was just not possible to be good. My friend's baby shower was at Cooper's Hawk, and they filled our Sangria glasses again and again like they do with water, and the food was just amazing. Crispy onion thingys? Not so bad as I thought they would be. I stuffed myself so bad, and then came home and stuffed some more because we made pulled pork sandwiches and my friend brought over this amazing onion dip she makes. Sunday was bad in the most delicious, satisfying way.
I did get back on track on Monday, and even talked myself out of snacking on the chocolate in the nursing office, and instead of stopping for Wendy's to treat my post shift hunger that seems to come no matter what I do, I ate my orange on the way home that I wasn't able to get to on my dinner break. Sure, I had plans to go to the gym this morning, but I had a really rough day yesterday anxiety-wise, plus a pretty hellish shift (nothing major, just a million annoying phone calls), I needed some down time this morning. but I am going to Zumba tonight, so its alright. :)
I am excited for Mom and Dad-in-laws' reunion this weekend. I was pretty sad at first when I realized it was on my weekend to work, knowing how little my chances were of getting the day off. But luckily, one of the overnight nurses is pretty hungry to pick up extra shifts, and she wanted to take it. I personally wouldn't have done it if I was her because of how difficult my shift is to pick up without having a decent orientation, but if my boss was gonna allow it, I'll happily give it to her. It just would have sucked to miss it because they don't do it every year, and I'm happy to see some of Mike's family that we haven't seen in a while. Plus, I get to make something to bring, and I have to come up with amazing ideas. :)
I also got inspired at my friend's baby shower to start crocheting again. I was trying to find a navy and white throw blanket, but haven't found any I liked that weren't ridiculously expensive. So, I started a chevron pattern I found, and so far so good. Getting started is the hardest part, because you have to make sure you are meticulous with your counting, or else you have to start all over. But then its easy. Then you have to keep motivated to not stuff it in the back of a closet somewhere like I did with the last project I started. I am excited to try a new pattern and see how it turns out!
