Well the weekend has arrived and all is well.  I am working a 14 hour shift tonight but then off for Sat and Sun.  Glorious :)  The weather is perfect and life is good.

Exercise sucks!   I never have liked to exercise and probably never will.  I can dig in my heels better than anyone I know and make more excuses than a 5 year old.  I hate exercise.  I think a lot of it has to do with the fact that I walk 6 to 9 miles a shift.  WTF   That is exercise…right?   Why should I go for walks on my day off??  I do still use my elliptical.  Only do 2 miles a day and only on my days off, but that is exercise…right?  And I shop, that is walking….exercise…right?    And I do love to go hiking and as soon as the doctor gives me permission to do so, I will start to hike again.  You cannot live in Hawaii and not hike :)

I read about you all and your yoga, walking 45 minutes etc and I feel so damn lazy.   I HATE EXERCISE!

But then again, I hate being fat and unfit.   So if I must…..sigh!

I see so many overweight people that come into the hospital and I mean obese.  We in Hawaii have a real problem with obese.  We have many people that are over 350 pounds or more.  And I see them unable to move themselves in bed, walk or enjoy life and I wonder how they could do that to themselves…..They have ulcers on their legs, diabetes and all kinds of health problems.  They will be sitting in our ER waiting for admission to the floor, and the next thing they are whining cause they are hungry!!!  WTF.   So out goes a family member and comes back with bags and I mean literally bags of junk food from McDonalds or Burger King and the whole family sit in the ER room and consume these bags.   And the patient is suppose to be sick!!  I see diabetics eating fries and burgers with a milkshake to wash it all down…….   I don’t understand it. 

I know how hard it is to lose weight, I am there.  I am overweight, but there has to be a time when you see what you are doing to your health and you say….NO MORE   Sad situation.
