Jillian Michaels has figured out what people want from a workout, but I don't think that she'll give you the results she promises. I mean, maybe if you ate 1200 calories a day, but I'm pretty sure I'm not going to look like I have 12% body fat after completing 30 Day Shred. I really do like getting a complete body workout in 30 minutes though. For some reason my heart rate monitor wasn't picking up so I don't know how many calories I burned for this workout. I can say it was harder than Level 1, which it should have been, and it wasn't a waste of a workout. She does her signature 3 min strength, 2 min cardio, 1 min abs routine which is repeated 3 times.
So I mentioned that I am a nurse on a cardiac unit, and my shift last night was horrific. I have been a nurse for over 5 years and last night was rough. That's all I can say. I didn't eat dinner before I went in and had a cheese quesadilla for lunch and wasn't able to eat until 2 am. It's hard to convey what you give to others as a nurse. I wish I could say that I enjoy sacrificing my personal needs for others, but its hard. I do it because I know that people are depending on me. Not just any people, but sick people, who are stuck in a hospital, waiting on their nurse to make sure their needs are met, that they can get better. I just do my best, keep moving, hoping that my patients know they are important to me, that they can trust me. But it's hard when I can't be everywhere at once.Pumping at work can be difficult as well. I can't call pause whenever I feel like it and it definitely takes some dedication to make that a priority, but it is a priority, so I make it work.
Anyway, I had some butter toffee and Dr. Pepper last night. And lots of water. It was out and I was hungry.
