Day Three

Day three got off to a very good start. Breakfast went off without a hitch. Went to Cub Foods and got a South Beach Southwest Chicken Wrap for lunch and an apple. It was good! I'm drinking at least three liters of water while at training and another glass or two with dinner so that's not a problem.

I'm averaging about 3000 steps per day. For me, to be doing that consistently is a good thing. I even have to climb two flights of stairs each day at least once per day. Woo hoo! I do okay and go up with a normal gait. Coming back down, I do the baby steps but know that I'll make it safely that way.

The only real problem I'm having right now is with all the sitting, my lymph edema has swollen a LOT. I know if I gain weight this week, it's going to be right there. I have my scale here but cannot find a spot that isn't carpeted to place it on, so don't know if it's accurate or not. I will say I do not feel like I've gained any weight. If I can even just maintain this week, I'll be thrilled.

Tim is doing fine. He's a little stiff and sore from the fall, but he's okay. He has assured me that now he's being extremely careful when he leaves the room. Bottom line is I can't shield him from everything.

Had the other person with me for training today. We went over the company email system, first aid, cultural diversity, and disease control. As of this morning, I can now clock in and out using the computer. Woo hoo! I'm really official now.

Tomorrow is the first day of training on my own. I start the day watching a video about safe driving. Then I get to drive the 15 passenger van around this 93 acre campus for about half an hour. The afternoon will be spent on ethics. Oh yippee! The problem I have with being the only one in training is it's either going to make me look really smart or really dumb. I mean, when a question is asked, I'm going to be the only one there to answer. LOL Could be interesting, I suppose!

I apologize for not making it around to blogs. I'll make it over the weekend to see what's going on with each of you. I sure wish I had more hours in my day, but have to make do with what I have right now.
