Maelstrom143’s BodyBlog

Well, I am at a crossroads. When I move to FL I am thinking about getting a day job, regardless of what it may entail. I am so tired of being tired and having my workouts and meals be sabotaged by the pendulum swing of nights to days and vice versa. It is insane. I am also considering changing over to the ER and keeping M/S as a PRN. The ER’s pace is so much faster, the work environment so much more honest and open, sometimes brutally so, but it gets the mission accomplished and that is what I am all about. When you play, play hard, but when you work,do it equally well and that is precisely what I see when I see my coworkers in the ER. They are highly motivated to getting the job done and work and play equally well. I LOVE IT!

I will be updating my body stats once I get some time to deal with figuring out my appropriate body fat percentage and not the fantasy numbers the Washington Post’s calculator has been giving me. Serves me right for going the easy route…LOL. Live and learn and all that blarney, right?

Well, I guess I should not have opted for the easy to use bodyfat calculator. I have used the one on the Washingtonpost.com site since I began this blog. WELL, guess what? IT SUCKS!!!

My real bodyfat is way above what it was telling me. I found several online that are way more accurate and…THANK GOODNESS…come July or thereabouts I will have my calipers back (we will hopefully get our property back from storage…YEAH!).

Anyway, I am sorely disappointed, but no big deal. You live and learn. I will post some of the better calculators once I have enough time to mess with numbers other than to figure out medication administrations for patients. Needless to say, I am wayyyyyy further away from my goal than previously thought, although my weight is coming down =(
