I am finally registered, paid and committed to the Body Pump training. And it's happening in 16 days. Oh God. I hope I will be ready.
I wanted to wrap myself in bubble wrap to prevent anything from happening. Lo and behold, I had to go have a massage on Sunday for upper back pain and it didn't really help much. Skipped kickboxing and Body Pump last night which killed me, because the only way I am going to get ready for this 3 day training is to do more BP!!! But I just couldn't. I am icing, heating, stretching, rolling......must be tension. I don't feel overly stressed, really, just dealing with the normal crap right now of conferences and sitting on my ass all day. But there was the stress the last couple of weeks with testing, putting the report cards in the computer, getting ready for conferences....guess it's all caught up with me.
Went yesterday and spent a small wad on new workout clothes since I pretty much wear the same couple of things and wash a lot. Now I have 2 more pants and 6 new tops to add, since I will be changing a lot that weekend. It's funny how much fun I am having buying work out clothes. This is more fun than regular clothes.
Today really sucked. Started with a phone call from Alexander asking for Franklin's DL # (yes I am weird because I have my #'s and his all memorized, from CDL to SS#'s), then a call back from Franklin saying he was pulled over because Alexander was wearing his seat belt under his arm and CHP scolded him and then gave Franklin a ticket for forgetting his wallet and not carrying his DL and proof of insurance! We are making Alex pay for that one. I wish he HAD gotten a ticket so he could pay it and learn his lesson. We have been telling him for years to wear the damn thing the right way, and he cannot use the excuse that it cuts into his neck because he is taller than me and it doesn't do it to me! Ugh.
Then I had 3 different kids at 3 different times fall and bump their heads and go to the office, another one with a bad bloody nose, another who ran into a pole and had a big bloody head wound, my as-yet-undiagnosed developmentally delayed girl crying and making noises under the tables/crawling around and leaving the room, 8 parent conferences, 2 no shows, and then as I was dismissing my 29 students, found that one was missing and while the dad was all cool I was beginning to panic because she was with us in the classroom but I had told her not to leave because I needed to ask her dad what her new baby sister's name was and she took me so literally that she sat in the classroom instead of walking out to the gate with me! I guess it's no wonder my back is wracked up with tension :-/
Alex had a soccer game at 7:30 and I got Cassie home, fed and was sitting on a heating pad, not wanting to get out again in the cold but bundled her up and got to the game about 8pm. Talked to some parents, then Cassie wanted to run around so I chased her around the field and I'll be damned, running in the cold felt SO GOOD!!!I think it released some of my tension. Did that several times, back and forth, saying hi to Daddy on the coach's side, back to the other, and while it was not a workout by any means, the physical activity was just what I needed. So I will go to BP tomorrow night.....and if I still am tight in my back I will skip the back track or go real light. If my back is too bad, then I will definitely get some cardio in.
I am keeping my fingers crossed that my newfound craving for chocolate, coupled with not getting enough BP in isn't going to screw me for training..........no, change that -
I WILL BE READY, I WILL PASS THIS TRAINING AND I WILL BE STRONGER FOR IT..........I am truly excited....can't wait! Off to stretch, roll and fall into bed.....and begin another day tomorrow.
