Today was another day in the ER. I feel as though the second I wake up and remember that I have to work in the ER, I just get angry because I have to work in a place I hate with all my being. I can't wait to go through a month where I don't dread going to work almost every day. The perks of my ER month include having no ER obligations on days I have clinic. So, every Tuesday and Friday, I'm happy again.
Today's eats were pretty solid. I started out with a pretty typical breakfast for me: eggs, ham, banana, and watermelon.
I know a lot of people like to change things up with their breakfasts, but I like the ease and calorie count on this one. That whole plate of food was just a touch over 300 calories. Also, I've never been one to crave something sweet in the morning - I've always been more of a savory breakfast type of gal. However, chocolate chip pancakes or French toast (only when made by my mom) have a special place in my breakfast heart.
I got to work at 10, per usual only to find out that I didn't need to be there until 11. So, I sat and caught up on some paperwork, went back to my car and cleaned it for a bit, tried to go down to the cafeteria to stock up on some fruit (it was closed), tried to grab some fruit from the physician lounge (options were apples and green bananas) and then went back to my personal hell (read: the ER).
Once there, I worked and worked and worked until 4:30ish when I rushed to the cafeteria to get some lunch because I was starving - like stomach growling hungry. And when I got home around 9, I ate some shrimp, a banana, and some belVita breakfast biscuits (read: cookies).
Other than that, I didn't do much today. I wish I'd known I didn't have to be at work until 11 because I totally could've fit in a workout. The gym is only open 8a-8p on the weekends and with a 10a-8p shift, it's not worth trying to get there for about 20 minutes. But I totally could've made it today. Grrrr. Just another reason the ER is the worst.
That's all for me for now. I'll do a weigh-in tomorrow and catch you all later!
