Grrrrrr. I was in a totally happy mood this morning, but this afternoon changed that. Don’t YOU HATE IT when that happens?! Basically, someone said something that kindof rubbed me the wrong way. Yea, I don’t wanna talk about it. I was also in a rush to get things done before Brad got home and after that incident, my mind was just all over the place. Then Brad came home and I told him and that put his mood off too. He wasn’t exactly in the mood to exercise after that, but we dropped Katie off at Mom’s so we could go. Then, more bad. Mom thought when I said we were gonna go to the gym during the week that it was only gonna be a few days a week, not every week night. She said she can’t do every night, especially since she feels sick often. Great. Might as well sign up for the monthly daycare fee and that puts us on a time limit VS just being able to go for however long. Ah well, whatever. After Mom had said that and we were heading to the car to leave, I just wanted to cry, but I wanted to get to the gym and use exercise as my stress relief – as best as I could. I DID. Brad only worked out a little… I did 10 minute warmup on the elliptical, then did some leg & ab workout and the final was 24 minutes on the elliptical that got me sweating a little. Brad went to the car as I got ready to do tanning…. he didn’t want to tan tonight. I got that done, then got a free smoothie with my coupon. Dreamsicle lite! Even talked to the trainer a little bit – he’s the one that’s gonna work us out on Saturday. He seems really cool. I can’t wait! Came home, Brad had college work to do, so I bathed Katie tonight for the first time in a looooong time and it was nice because I bathed her every night for most of her life. I rocked her, we prayed, and then I sang a little to her, like I used to do when she was tiny. When I was rocking, I had this awesome feeling come over me. Amazing.
I even feel pretty awesome right now. The right exercise and a stable, strict diet + the supplements are gonna get me back to where I want to be. I know this in my heart. I’m so thankful. Oh, and I didn’t even go back to sleep this morning! I have been up all day, and I’m not even really tired. Gonna stay up a bit longer then get some Zzzz’s. Goodnight.
Shellie,
I meant to comment the other day when I first read your blog entry (I subscribe to your RSS feed), but I got busy and didn’t get the chance. This morning I was reading some news article, and this article about a woman dying from skin cancer made me think of you: http://shine.yahoo.com/healthy-living/a-death-by-suntan-at-age-26-1227159.html
Given how health-conscious you are in every other aspect, I am seriously appalled that both you and your husband are putting yourselves at risk with tanning beds. Please tell me that you’re at least wearing sunscreen. 🙁
Jenn, yes we are going to protect our skin as much as possible! I appreciate that you are concerned about us! =)
