Day 8 of 14

Never left the house today :-(

Which is not necessarily a bad thing with all the rain, but I bailed on my run this morning because I was up until 3:00 am (or 2:00, or 4:00, hell I lost track) working on report cards. I kept getting distracted even though everyone was asleep, and my eyes were burning.....then I couldn't sleep.

This morning I had to get the guys up for soccer, but Cassie beat me to it and by 8:00 am, we were both up and it sucked - I so wanted to sleep in. Once I got started on my report cards, by 10am, I kept getting distracted by Cassie, the TV, Facebook, music.......it literally took me until the guys came home at 3pm, brought me Starbucks and took her away so I could finish! This took forever because I had no attention span at all.

Once they came home finally, it was 5pm, dark, and I didn't feel like getting out to the gym, which was my original plan so I ended up working out at home, which I never do because a certain little girl gets in my way. But I was able to do 100+ jumping jacks, some kicking and punching,  kettle bell work, push ups, abs and lunges. So not all was lost and I didn't miss a day. My knee is bothering me now, though, so I've iced twice and am taking Advil before bed. Back to boot camp tomorrow.

Had a nice conversation back and forth with Kimi tonight regarding LM, got some sound, practical advice and encouragement and am feeling probably more freaked out than ever, with all the information I am getting, which is my own fault because I'm asking for it. I don't like going into things blindly, for the most part, and this is so new to me that I need to get as much information from the experts in the biz.....I suppose it will all work out if it is meant to be. I am so fortunate to have friends that are in fitness and who are willing to support me and give me advice. Not everyone is this lucky, I know.

Still have not heard back from 24 hour and I have no idea how long that takes, so I may miss the December BP training in Modesto and have to do something later on. I suppose there is no rush, I just hope that early in 2011 there will be something local enough. There were two the remainder of this year, Roseville and Modesto, both locations where I have family I could stay with. Oh well, I hope future ones are close because with the cost of training, I don't want to have to deal with travel costs and hotel if I don't have to.

I also have to look into ACE or AFAA certification as well, as some friends have told me, and Kimi also strongly recommended it tonight. When the hell will I find time to study? Sigh.

Going to try to go up and Flow with Kimi during Thanksgiving week since I am off of school.....love that program and I wish it would come to my gym. I so need that in my life right now.

Off to bed. So tired............
