Wow! Was last night ever busy! I have made it a point to get back to the gym for me, for multiple reasons. I remember I used to like it! Yes, I liked exercise because it made me feel good about myself. I used to love that sore feeling over the next two days because I felt like I did something and was making progress. Not to mention it made losing weight much easier because I didn’t feel as guilty if I splurged when we went out to dinner. Then, my attitude… yes, working out affected my attitude! I was much happier, had more energy and when the end of the day came I slept better and who isn’t in a good mood after a good night’s sleep?
SO… to last night… wow! Hubs and I decided yesterday while at work that we would go to the gym after work. I got off at 5:00 p.m. and picked up both girls (from different places). Then, got home and started doing what I could to make dinner easier… thawed out chicken that I’d already cooked, made sure the already dirty dishes were put in the washer, fed the dog, let him out, made the girls keep their shoes on after a few minutes of whining. Then, hubs got home about 6:15 so upstairs we went to change into our workout best. We loaded the girls up and headed out. We went to the gym and I told him before getting there we had to leave by 7:15 to make it home to feed the girls, baths, and get them to bed. I’m on the treadmill reading my law homework and after that’s done I head on to the weights and apparatus to work on my abs (Yes, they need the most work). We leave the gym and get home. I start their dinner and ours (different things because we wanted buffalo chicken wraps). Hubs took a shower while I got everything prepared. We all ate and then upstairs to get the girls bathed and to bed. Once that was done I started in on my homework while my extremely tired hubs headed to bed to watch some TV and go to sleep. About 11:15 I finish my homework, take a shower and finally get into bed. It was a very long, tiring day and I’m feeling it today!
Hubs is off today and is taking the “baby” (20 months) to her pre-op appointment. She is having surgery Monday to get tubes put in her ears (perpetual ear infections since before Christmas) and her adenoids out. I’m hoping this makes a big difference in how she feels. Poor thing has been miserable, not sleeping well, no naps and not eating. I’m hoping that after this she will be a much happier child!
How was your day? Any busy-ness going on? How do you cope with an extremely busy/tight schedule?
