I went back to sleep after Brad left this morning, but for the past few mornings when I go to take a nap, I haven’t slept as long and I feel WORSE after the nap, plus have bad dreams. I don’t remember the dreams exactly, but after I wake up I just feel uneasy. Sucks. I got back up and went to get Katie up. She threw up in her bed sometime during the night, so I had to strip the bed, etc etc and give her a bath. She either got sick because she ate too much last night at my neighbor’s (and she did), or else she may be starting or have a tummy bug. My tummy feels a bit uneasy tonight too. Gah… I really, really hope she just got sick because she ate too much and that we’re not gonna be hit with a tummy bug. Guess we’ll just have to see. Umm, did laundry this morning and just wanted to fiddle around online so that’s what I did. Katie went down for her nap and I eventually went over to my neighbor’s and cleaned her house a little and went to socialize/pet the bitty kitties outside! I was not feeling the best throughout the mid-morning into the afternon, but felt a little better before the gym. I also though I might feel that way from running more this week, or just from the exercise but I’m dreadfully thinking this *may* be the start of a tummy bug for us. Please, please, please no.

Brad called me before he left work and said that the guys at his workplace went to look at our car and determined that our problem was not the leaky hose, but indeed the radiator itself. Yeah, that figures. Brad was not happy….. he came home and got on the phone with Carmax, asking about possibly buying from them. Took Katie to my neighbor’s and he stayed on the phone a long time, so we got to the gym late but I was planning on not going full force tonight exercise-wise anyway. SUMMARY >>>

warmup, elliptical, 10 minutes. 1.35 miles, 111 calories
abs & back – till max
glute – 3X, 90lbs, 10 reps
calf extensions – 3X, 90lbs, 10 reps
torso rotation – 3X, 70lbs, 10 reps
summit trainer – 21 minutes, 1.12 miles, 217 calories

I didn’t really feel like exercising, but I wanted to do a bit of something. I thought about doing around ~30 minutes for my cardio, but I got on the summit and decided after a bit on that machine that I was done. Even though I did not do as much, I still sweated more than usual. Maybe sweating out toxins from whatever is going on with me? Plus, that time of the month is just getting started and that may have a factor in all this too. We talked to the front desk people for a bit and left early! Went over to Wal-Mart to pick up a few things and I got my usual protein bar, plus an energy drink. Came back and had a text from my best friend, who I’ve known since I was 11 (she lives back in Alabama).. that her Grandma passed away today. That makes me so sad! I got really close to her Grandma when I was in middle school and even into high school. =( RIP Lois… she was such a good person. She is at peace now. Just trying to comfort my friend as much as I can in this hard time. Praying for her and her family to have strength and comfort.

I’m so glad tomorrow is a rest day. Guess I’ll see how I feel Saturday and determine whether or not to go to the gym. We may go to a carlot Saturday too, depending on finances and such. Well, I’m probably gonna be up later tonight, since I am not sleepy one bit. Just more time to chill out and enjoy the quiet! I’m so thankful for everyone in my life. Thankful to Heavenly Father has given me so much.
