A Little Annoyed

As I sit here, I am a little annoyed. Probably more at my own stupidity, than at Jeremy. Let me back up. I went to a Junior College softball game to see three former softball players play tonight. I was lucky, and I was on my way home before Jeremy and the boys. I was in a hurry because I had a big workout that I wanted, yup I wanted to do it, to do. When Jeremy and I talked I asked him if I should go now before they got home, or wait until a little later tonight. Jeremy told me that he wasn't feeling well, but I could go later. Are you sure, I can hammer this bad boy out and be back probably about a half an hour after you get home? Yup, you can go later. Going against my gut, I didn't go. When they got home, I made sure that Conner had dinner while Jeremy rested. Then he asked if I would make him some dinner. At this point, I knew he didn't look good. I still had hope. I played a game with Conner, and I was mapping out my run when Jeremy came upstairs. He asked me if he could go to bed at 7. I am a horrible wife because in my mind I was screaming no because I wanted to get my run in, but I told him yes. He asked if I was mad. I told him that I was annoyed because I should have went when I told him I was going to go. Oh well! I am still a little annoyed with myself, but I have learned a valuable lesson. Go when you are ready to go.

My birthday was awesome! My kids sang happy birthday to me. It was fantastic. When the boys got home, I received Jordan Almonds from Brodie, Shari's Berries from Jeremy, and See's Candy from Conner. I was doing so well this week, and my birthday hit. Oh well!! I loved every moment of it. No, I did not throw out the See's Candy. In fact, I still have some left which is huge for me. Usually I eat the whole thing in one sitting. :o) I even had Shari's Berries left over to enjoy today. They were delicious!

For my birthday, I got Cathe Freidrich's Pyramid Upper Body and Pyramid Lower Body. I did the Upper Body this morning, and as I type I realize I am going to be sore. Hehehe It is worth it though because I really want to be physically in shape to keep up with my boys, my students, and my volleyball team. I've done the lower body pyramid before, and it also kicked my butt. Out of the two, my lower body is stronger. Anyway, I also got an eighteen pound weight bar and a twenty-four pound weight bar. Thanks to my lower body being stronger, I needed to get some weight that would challenge me. I also received Cathe Freidrich's Drill Max. I haven't done this one yet, but if it is anything like her others I will be worked out.

Eating...

• Olive oil is great with sourdough bread, and it is filling. I have been having some in the morning. After I made a big stink about the oil thing, I researched it a little more. I am working to do better on this aspect.


• Salads -- add a little Kashi GoLean Crunch to it. It is a great alternative to croutons and probably twenty times healthier. I did this by accident because I wanted something crunchy on my salad the other day.


• Water -- I have been drinking this in the car. I have a long commute, so I am able to get about four glasses in before I get to work. I seem to be more awake when I start my day with water versus soda. I am working on the moderation aspect of soda, but it isn't working too well for me. I have an addictive personality, and this is my vice.

Exercise...

• When lifting weights, I had to change from Gilad to Cathe Freidrich because he wasn't very challenging. Make the change if things are too easy. Shelly and Sam had to beat this into my head.


• If you can't get up early to get your workout in, do it at the next available minute. I have my clothes ready, so when I get home and have time I can hit the pavement.
