2009 Mon 9th Nov Out of step...
You know those days where you just feel out of step? Well, that was my day. I woke up feeling pain in every muscle that I had forgotten I even had before I started this new exercise routine on DVD with Jillian Michaels called 30 Day Shred. On top of that, I also had a major headache which is what actually woke me up at 5:00am.
My phone rang (vibrated) at 5:30am, which I knew was a substitute job being offered, but at that point I just couldn't imagine spending the day around kids and grown ups all wanting me to perform some task or another. A couple hours after taking some OTC pain reliever I started my day by making breakfast for my boys. They wanted crepes, which do not fit into my current eating plan, so I made them breakfast, made lunch for my son, and got him off to school. Obviously, the pain reliever had kicked in and was working...for the time being.
Since I was feeling a bit better, I decided to be strong and do my workout. I got through that self inflicted torture and then got ready for the day at large. By 11:00am, Hubby and I were ready to head out into the world and run a few errands. Unfortunately, I felt the beginnings of the return of the headache, but I tried to ignore it - which never works, by the way!
While we were out, I headed over to Starbucks for my regular influx of caffeine thinking it might help the headache, but help or not, I was in need. A few minutes later, Hubby and I are walking down the street, side by side, and he reaches out to hold my hand not seeing the cup and he gets stabbed by the straw. I feel terrible and responsible for his injury, even though he was really fine and was not even trying to blame me. We were just not in sync.
On our way to lunch at a little cafe we like, I realized I needed to just lie down at home, so we headed back to the car. As soon as I sat down, my head started swimming. We got home, I laid down on the couch, took some more pain reliever and watched/slept through the DVR'd TV shows from last week. I stayed there until dinner.
By dinner time, I was feeling a little better again (thanks to the pain meds). I had a great meal planned out, but forgot one part of it even though it was right in front of me in the kitchen. The plates looked a little empty when I got them to the table, but I didn't figure it out until after we had finished eating.
At that point, I was not up to cooking anything more so the boys took care of cleaning the kitchen (they are the BEST!) and "suffered" through dessert without me. My muscles were still incredibly sore, so I headed to the hot tub for a soak.
Afterwards, getting out of the hot tub, I nearly stepped on the dog who had laid himself down on the ground right up against the thing. He ran off, not happy with being wet and almost maimed, and I just tried not to slip on the deck while I dried off at that point.
Last, but not least, I realized that I hadn't written my blog for the day...and since I made a 20 day commitment, and this is only day 9, and I was just bragging to Hubby earlier in the day about how proud I was that I hadn't missed a posting yet, I realized I had to get this done - headache or not!
So, that is how committed I am to this ... um, commitment?! Bad day, good day, headache, flat hair, whatever - I am here!
Ok, I'm going to sleep the rest of this bad day away. Good night!
