But on a good note, didn't wake up as sore. My abs/obliques are a little funky still, but for the most part, good. Although I couldn't sleep last night. Kept tossing and turning and waking up. Probably cause I felt miserable with stupid girl moments, and back pain from said girl moments. BLEGH
Today, I decided that I'm not going to workout. Unless it's a simple, enjoyable walk for fun, not for exercise. I decided that I wanted my body to just rest...especially after 3 days of "intense" (for me) workouts. I'm so okay with this. Now if I could just get rid of wanting tons of junk food cravings, I'd be great! lol Right now, McDonald's sounds good. Mmmmm....maybe I'll go for a grilled chicken sandwich, no mayo, and apple slices for the side instead of fries...wonder if I can do that...oh, and a nice tall ice water drink!!!!!!! I'm hungry. :) haha
Let's see...what else...Girl Scouts is tonight. After a season of not being in Girl Scouts, I've realized I've missed it. A lot. I love these girls, and being able to try new things with them, and be excited with and for them. I mean, that's where I learned how to canoe, do archery, climb a rock wall, mountain bike, sell cookies, be in charge of large groups....haha They were a constant challenge and joy. So, to help 2 teacher friends of mine, I've gone back to assisting with their troop, but NOT being the leader (which is fun for me, 'cause it's WAY LESS responsibility! haha). I'm just in charge of putting the activities together for all 3 levels (did I mention it's a multi-level troop, so we have between 20-25 girls coming, from Kinder-5th grade?), and helping where needed. :) This, I can do! haha This is my stress reliever from work, when I just need to breathe, set work aside for a few minutes, and then dive right back in. It's what I did yesterday at work. And it totally relieved some of the frazzledness of it all. :)
So, today, I'm gonna stop at McDonald's and grab some food, then I'm going to go to the Girl Scout Council and run some errands there, then head to work where my big boss is possibly coming in to our campus and observing/evaluating things. I'm feeling much better about all of this...possibly with the help of sleep, Midol, and knowing that it's my choice how I react. And I'm praying for balance.
Oh, and on a somewhat sad note, I just realized I haven't done my Bible Study for the day...Hmmm...I'll probably take it to work with me, get there 30 minutes early, and just sit at my desk and do it. That sounds like a plan to me! :)
Until later, my tiny world! :)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
:) It's been a good day. Grabbed lunch/dinner from Panda Express (thank God for coupons!! Especially since I had forgotten to pack a dinner as Girl Scouts was tonight, so this is my REALLY long night). Went to work early, then decided that since I didn't have to clock-in yet, I wasn't going to work on actually work stuff, so I just worked on Girl Scout stuff (which totally made for easier day today!). It was peaceful at work, very calming (which my boss noted at our end-of-day conversation, whereby he said, "I knew it was a good day. Your voice was very calm when you said, "I'm getting work done." when I had called you."...maybe I need to take the hint. lol). Got a lot accomplished today. :)
Had Girl Scouts tonight. The ladies (girls) had fun. Was a bit hectic me going from Brownies to Juniors and back again tonight, helping 2 different levels with separate projects...but again, the girls had a blast. Taught them a new song. The Daisies were/are jealous. But I will admit. Don't really like working with 'em...probably 'cause I don't necessarily have the patience for them, which is why the other leader works with 'em. :)
Umm...what else?? Oh yeah. Came back to the office, and my boss was in. He complimented me today, which made me happy. What would make me happier? Starbucks! lol Mmmm....white chocolate mocha frap w/ choc chips, soy milk, no whip cream. :) Oh, the happiness and sheer joy of the thought! :) Or getting paid to go to the other campus and show/teach how a traditional meeting is run. That'd be extremely cool!! haha
Stayed at work til a little after ten, when I walked out with another teacher. (yay!) Came home, talked with Michelle a bit, laughed a bit...
And didn't workout. And totally didn't feel bad about it. :) Yay. And my body is no longer sore, or throwing me dizzy spells. Double yay! Think it had to do with the whole girl thing. Midols, I love you! :)
Anywho...tomorrow, back to morning workout (DVD again, or Pilates?! Hmmm...shall think about this tomorrow morning), eating breakfast, making my smoothie for lunch. And then....FIRESTARTERS!!! Yay! :) Although I'm just realizing that I forgot to do my Bible Study today (left the book at home). Which means I'm doing double tomorrow. Oh well! Just more time in the Word. AND...I'm going to try not to go in early tomorrow. :) Hoping to once again balance it all out, especially as I'll be taking home a work project to get it done before our training Monday evening.
Oh yeah! AND I'm going hiking on Saturday morning with NC. Super excited!! :)
K. Think that's all of it. Night world! Time for a movie,
