Week Seven, days one and two....a little bump in the road :(

Day one, Monday....Today I woke up feeling quite crappy! Last night at work I started to feel the onset of a cold..itchy nose, sneezy feelings, etc. By the time I got home and in bed I was all stuffy, and I kept waking up in the night because I couldn't breathe and my throat was all dry :( So I really needed that sleep, with my crazy Friday/Saturday/Sunday nights at work....but alas, did not get it, and was feeling pretty icky. And I had to work my good old Monday double. So, I loaded up on vitamins/herbs/drugs/anything I could do to fight it off, took a short nap between shifts, and got home and went to bed early. I cannot afford to get sick right now, so I just won't!!

Day two, Tuesday....today I did feel a little better, I think my barrage of vitamins and drugs seemed to help, and I did get a better night's sleep thanks to Theraflu :) I had to go to work lunch, and it was CRAZY, but I got done around 3:30 and came home and napped, then got up with the intention to do my pilates/weights/day one running like I usually do on Tuesdays...I did the pilates and weights, but just couldn't muster the running. I tried, but it didn't work. I'm EXHAUSTED from the weekend, didn't have an appetite or a chance to eat much today, worked four back-to-back shifts Sunday night through today, and yes today is like my Friday so I can't really be surprised. Also fighting a cold. So, I guess I'm just going to go to bed early and hope I wake up tomorrow feeling refreshed and ready to hit the treadmill! One good thing though, my legs/bum knee are much better at the end of this work week than they ever have been, and I actually worked more the past five days than usual, so I think my new work shoes are making a difference!
I know that things are going to be a little crazier than normal for the next two weeks, so I just have to try to stay healthy and rested so that I can stick to this insane schedule ;) Luckily I have six more weeks....and January will be quite dead at work so I can probably ease up on work and really hit the gym hardcore for the last four weeks! I WILL be 130 in San Diego!!
