Does anyone else experience this!?!?

Whenever I run long distances, usually longer than 1 mile or so my feet fall asleep. Like pins and needles that I can feel while running and then it continues for a bit when I stop. It's usually only 1 foot unless the run is over 3+ miles then it's both. And it's not always the same foot. It doesn't hurt, just tingly. Anyone else experience this?

I used to have a friend tell me that I didn't have a "real" job bc I didn't sit behind a desk from 9-5 Monday through Friday (at the time I was a lifeguard at a water park working 6 days a week 13hr days). I guess I STILL don't have a real job since I STILL don't sit behind a desk for 8hrs. I work 12-13hr days 3-4 days a week 👍🏻but I'm making much more money than that friend now 💰💰

You don't even have a real job

I mean, I just moved 14 hours from home for my job but ok lol

I started my old soccer summer workout last week and I did day 1 and day 2 then day 3 I did my run and had just started my lift, which was quite painful bc something is wrong with my knee, when a call came in (free gym at the fd...) and by the time I came back it was now 930pm and I was exhausted so just went home. I planned on doing the lift yesterday, got ready for the gym and everything, and never actually went. Now today I have a photoshoot for the fd in the am, then a public appearance thing for the fd at a block party, and a soccer game at 4 so I don't think it'll happen today either. :/ #fail

I'm not sure about the truvada or prep (I didn't know the name when offered) but when I had a needle stick at work the treatment that was offered was 6-9 months long. Not just a pill the next day like the morning after pill. Just so there's no confusion!

Morning After Pill for HIV

I think that people forget that condoms protect you from more than just pregnancy.

And there is no morning after pill for HIV.

I finally started working out again and this time so did my hunny 😊 we are, not doubt, seriously out of shape. I hope we can keep it up

I wonder what it's like to have a lunch break? I see all these people who post pics of their workout during lunch ("got in tris, bis, chest and some cardio on my lunch break") like what?? How long is your break? If I get to eat some crackers out of the nutrition room in my 12hr shift its been a good day. Most days I don't get a break, on the off chance we're adequately staffed and I can take a 15 min break, I can't leave the hospital and it's just that, 15 min. That's barely eating a sandwich. I guess I'm in the wrong profession...

I feel like crap

I was great all weekend until my boyfriend came home Sunday night, I was fine Monday and then yesterday I felt "icky". I still worked out and felt eh then last night I felt even worse. I woke up this morning thinking "oh good I feel so much better!" But as the day has gone on I've been feeling worse and worse. I can't even stand up without feeling woosie. This needs to go away I have to work tomorrow!

How is that sad!?! I've lived free of rent with my parents also (I'm 26), which gave me the ability to save way more than enough money to buy my own house! If it wasn't for them allowing me to live here FOR FREE while I finished college and all my schooling I would be BROKE and most likely stuck in a dead end, minimum wage job trying to pay my ridiculous rent in NY and not be able to save a penny! Thanks to my wonderful parents, I just bought my first house, on my own, with AMAZING credit, with full 20% down, with PLENTY of money to furnish it how I want and without being completely house broke! I'm SO thankful for my parents and I would absolutely do the same for my children

It's sad you're just now moving out of your parents house

I’m thankful that I have parents that let me live in their house free of rent. It’s saved my life and hopefully I’ll be able to return the favor ❤️

I've ran or walked almost every day for the past 2 weeks. I missed 2 or 3 days when I was working and was exhausted afterwards or had something else I had to do (I work 7a-7/8p so not much wiggle room). I know I could get up before work but it just doesn't work out, I can't get up in the morning. But going after work has been fine unless somethings comes up, like last night there was a fundraiser for my uncle (he was hit by a drunk driver when he was on his motorcycle in March and lost his leg, shattered his pelvis, broke ribs, and had over 70units of blood transfused; the Drs are calling him a medical miracle bc he shouldn't have survived) and bc I worked I wasn't planning on going bc I figured it would be over by the time I got out but I ended up going and catching the end of it and didn't get home until after 10. But I got up this morning and did yesterday's workout and today's. I've been using the beginner 5k plan on the Nike run app and then at the beginning of this week they updated the app and I lost my progress bc they changed the plans!! I was only a week and a few days in but still! So I put together a new plan (which is SO different than the options they had on the original app) and I'm almost done with week 1 of that. I feel a little better while running but am still slow and have to stop after like a mile and walk for a bit. I weighed myself the other day and I'm down almost 3lbs! My diet has NOT been on point whatsoever but I've been trying to stay away from the fast food and soda and not being able to have a break at work and walking 4+ miles while I'm there (the ER really isn't THAT big so you can imagine how much walking that is) is most likely the reason for the loss. Whatever, I'll take it! Lol We go to closing on the house on the 14th! I'm so nervous! We're not moving into the house until the beginning of 2017 just bc of job situations and stuff. He doesn't have a job there yet and I want a little more ER experience before moving on since I just started at this job in June. I keep going back and forth wondering if this was a good idea. But in the words of my sister, "it's just something you have to close your eyes and jump or else you'll never do it". She's right. I still live with my parents and I want to be on my own badly, my boyfriend is 4 years younger than me so this is a real push for him but I'm sure he'll step up when it's his own place and we're not living under my parents roof (I hope)

I'm literally at the point where I just want to give up. 0 motivation and 0 drive. It's just easier to do whatever, of course until I find myself with extended family or anywhere in public I feel so self conscious and hate the way I look. Ugh. So frustrating

It gets better. It really does. 5 years attached at the hip then 7 months apart, 2 months before he was coming home (he was traveling abroad for school but we face timed every day) then one day that was it. The end. My world in pieces. It gets better. I promise. Find things to occupy you. Stay off your phone and social media so you don't have to think why your phone isn't going off or see them on your feed. Be with family and friends, start a new hobby, anything. Stay busy and don't let him dictate your happiness. Be strong. And when you can't be strong we're all here.

Managed to go the entire day without texting him. It has to be done, but it feels like there’s a big hole in my chest and stomach.

WE BOUGHT A HOUSE!!!!!!!!! Totally wasn't expecting to but we found a house we LOVED and it would sell fast so we put in an offer and now we're in the process of buying it!

PR’d my back squat and deadlift! Hit 220# for my back squat and 260# for my deadlift! Then I finished the wod in 6:32 with a scaled weight of 75#

[ernursegetsfit]

Well it's Friday!

So I made it 5 days without soda!! Yay! And the past couple days my calories have stayed below or at my daily goal! 👍🏻 so far so good

[ernursegetsfit]

Dead. I stayed at 75% for the split jerk because apparently I should've been stepping forward with my left foot instead of right. My form was a million times better when I switched! It was a little uncomfortable but my coach helped me out so much!! As for the WOD, woof. I only made it to 23 pull-ups. Those push-ups slowed me down immensely. I'm awful to begin with and even with the allll the bands haha it took forever to get through the push-ups. 22 min went pretty fast lol

I set a private goal this week of not having any soda since I've been drinking A LOT of soda the past couple months. I almost caved yesterday. I was so thirsty at work, hadn't had a break yet, and was starving by hour 11, I was craving a nice bubbly rootbeer or something. But I resisted and got a coconut water instead. I then had Taco Bell after work but that's next weeks goal lol. Baby steps. Off to Crossfit!

[ernursegetsfit]

Bright and early start this morning! Well technically it was still dark :/ I messed up my clean and jerk when I forgot to take a weight off while switching and left my bar uneven which ended up messing up my numbers so I was 20lbs below my max. Oh well. I finished a total of 96 reps in the wod and did REAL push-ups haha no band! I only did 10 but hey, that's an improvement in itself! Scrambled eggs with some squash, zucchini, and peppers for breakfast then off to my 12 hr shift in the ER!
