Day One, Monday....today I was scheduled to work my Monday double but I had given up my evening shift earlier in the week because I knew I would be fried by then....SO glad I did that. Anyway, it was really really slow at work since most people are back to school/work after their holiday vacations, and I hate to say it but I LOVED that it was slow!! It was so relaxing and I actually got to spend time with my tables! So though I didn't really make great money, I don't really care! I was scheduled in "A" which means I could have been put in one of the two closing sections, but they put me in a non-closing A section which means that I didn't have to stay late and since it was slow I actually got out around 2, which was great because I had a couple hours then free that I wasn't expecting! So I took care of some errands on the way home and felt pretty good so I did some pilates and then went to the gym to do my day one running routine! It felt good to be back and to have some energy left over, even after work and working out! After my workout, my fabulous friend Jake treated me to dinner and we went to a movie, it was just what I needed.
Day Two, Tuesday....today I was again scheduled to work lunch in "A" so again I expected to close and be there til around 4:30....but there was some mix up with people switching shifts and the fact that there is another Heather at my work and I ended up being put in a C section by mistake, so definitely not closing! I'll take it. I got out around 2:30 and ran some errands, by the time I got home I felt kinda sleepy and just like relaxing, reading, etc. I was kinda expecting a letter but I again got no word (it's been 8 days now and no word, grrr) so that made me sad all over again....but my wonderful sister was there for me and let me cry/vent and made me feel better :) So no working out, but I badly needed a rest day at the end of my six day work week!
Day Three, Wednesday....the start of my three-day vacation!! This morning I had my weekly training session with my trainer and again she worked me real hard!! I believe I have just two more sessions left which actually works out perfectly because I have two more Wednesdays after this one, and then the third Wednesday I'll be on a plane to San Diego!! After my training I did the day three running stuff, and tried to do most of it on an elevation which was definitely a good workout!! By the time I was done I had gone almost four miles in 40 minutes (which includes five minutes of interspersed rest time) and burned over 400 calories! Yikes. I am noticing just in the past few weeks I don't feel as sore after my training or running, or even after long shifts after a day of running, so I guess that means I am getting into better shape! Yay! Tomorrow I am really looking forward to going to pilates class again...it was cancelled the last two weeks because the holidays fell on Thursdays, and the week before I was sick...so I'm real excited to get back to it! I know THAT will make me sore :) It was wonderful to have the day off, and I have Thursday AND Friday off too!! OMG it's so great to have free time to relax, see friends, work out whenever I want!!
Oh...by the way...I had to get new work pants last week because my old ones (which were new like two months ago) were waaaay too big, it was getting uncomfortable and the possibility of them falling off completely was really not an exaggeration. I went to the same store on the chance that they would still have ones like the ones I had bought two months ago because I really liked them and they washed nicely which is important in my job ;) I found the exact same pants, and ended up buying the same exact pair TWO SIZES SMALLER!!! And they fit very comfortably, even a little bit of room :) Woohoo!!! It's moments like those that make all this work and sweat so very worth it!
