I need to do more cardio, GASPS FOR BREATH

Had a code at the hospital the other night.  OMG!  CPR is HARD!  Thankfully we only had to do manual chest compressions for a few min before the Lucas device was put on.  That's literally a machine that does the chest compressions on the person.
This is what it looks like.
So, cause I work at a small hospital one where the pharmacy isn't open 24hrs,  I had to run to grab meds that we were running out of in the crash cart.  So I literally RAN to the pharmacy, grabbed the med, and ran back.  And then gasped for breath for a couple mins.

So I need to do more cardio so I can be a better nurse for my patients.  I need to lose weight so I can be a better nurse for my patients.  I just need to do it.

So, I'm going to be doing more metabolic style workouts. Workouts that combine weights and cardio to get that heart rate up.  I'm going to be doing a day or two of cardio to increase my cardio capacity.  I'm going to keep weight training cause I need to be strong and its good for my bones and heart. 

So now I need to look through my workouts, and the Cathe on Demand streaming I subscribe to, and get some workouts picked out.   She's got some really great cardio workouts.  If I did cardio 1-2 days a week and lifting 3 days a week, that would be a good blend.   I hope so.

And of course, eating.  I need to quit eating like crap. Period.  I can't out-exercise a bad diet.  Why is that so hard to do?  I mean I know it.  I really do. But I just can't seem to get myself away from the crappy food.  Not even making sure I have a treat everyday.  UGH.

Oh well.  I'm going to go destress in the bathtub with a bathbomb, give myself a sheet mask and go to bed. Hubby and I are going to Des Moines tomorrow.  Hitting the outlet mall..  Might get myself a new pair of workout shoes cause 3 pair isn't enough and maybe new pants cause 25 pair isn't enough lol.  If I do, I'll put up pictures lol
