I need to be more consistent with the ab-work. It's one of my weaker areas, and the poorest-looking areas, so I don't want to work on it ... it's not as fun. Even though, I do know I need to, and should.

I expect to be pretty sore tomorrow, after the work I did!

Again, I wasn't able to get away. I don't think they were as busy last night as they were the night before, but, it still didn't workout for me. And, again, when the charge nurse would have been available to watch my patient for me, I had things to do with her and couldn't get away.

Of interest, even though I wasn't able to get away to run the stairs ... over the 2 days, I logged about 21,000 steps on my pedometer! (I take it off when I get home, and put it back on after I'm dressed, when getting ready for work ... so there are probably 100 or more non-exercise steps that aren't getting logged each day.

One of these days, I need to get back into wearing it around home, too. I'm pretty sure on my non-work days, I'm not usually hitting anywhere near 5,000 steps (not counting my running). But, I should!
