April 25, 2011 - general update/easter
Hi everyone,
This weekend went ok. Saturday I did manage to go to the gym and do some treadmill work. I did pretty good. I feel myself getting stronger. I actually bumped the speed up to 5.5. Actually felt pretty good and didn't feel like I was dying. My heart rate climbed up to 169. Thats not bad. Sunday was easter. Happy easter everyone. I forgot to wish everyone that. I just didn't feel like getting on the computer and sending a quick message. I sure hope it was good for everyone. I had my usual traditional easter breakfast/brunch. Wasn't too bad. I went to my aunts house, close to where my old apartment was in Lackawanna. I got there earlier and helped alittle bit. We had the usual breakfast, scambled eggs, bacon, polish sausage, ham, hash browns, macaroni and cheese, tater tots. She even introduced a new dish - it was a cornbread cassarole. It was really good. A lot of family members didn't know what it was so they didn't take a lot of it. Wasn't bad. I stayed until about 3:15 then I went home. I was gonna come out to Angola to be with the parents but I was on the fence about it. (if the time was only 2, I would have but I opted out). The Buffalo Sabres game was on at 3pm. My 2 uncles, cousin Matt (not the one getting married this June but my little cousin - the hockey player who is 10) and Emma were downstairs in the basement watching it on the big screen TV. I know, we lost. there is a game 7. Hope you all will watch it somehow. Cheer on our hometown hockey team! Lets go Buffalo!!! As soon as I got home, I noticed it was a nice day. I went for my 1 hr walk (3.7 miles) - had to work off the huge breakfast we just had. It was a much better workout than last Sunday's walk in the sleet/snow/rain mixture. Infact today, Monday - I was off today. I really had to work on the Fall 2011 nursing intern excel grid worksheets today. I have yet to turn off this computer. I worked from 12 noon on. So much for my day off. At least I will be ready for Diane's meeting tomorrow to talk about the overlaps. Its not too bad. I only have doubles this time around and no triples. Most of them look pretty easy to move around. Not sure whether the RN schools will like that too much. Tika was on his best behavior until around 5:30pm when he was blocking my view so I can finish. I think he was nudging me to get off an pay attention to him. that reminds me, I need to give him his treat.
My eating habits just took a nosedive. I ate crap for lunch today and a bunch of easter chocolate during the day. Oh well......
I also gotta email the 5K training coordinator - the husband was suppose to send me previous newsletters/tranining schedule for May/June but I haven't seen it. I might have to give them my hotmail.com address. My roadrunner account is eating up a lot of my email so its in email heaven somewhere. Oh well.

I\'m glad you had a nice Easter and got to spend it with your family. You are doing great on your workouts and that is so good. You will be in shape in no time. I think everyone takes a nosedive with their eating every once in awhile. Don\'t beat yourself up about it.
