Skipped the Gym Today - Could Barely Move

Today is a new day! This is the only day that counts!

Oh my, when I got up this morning my muscles were so tight.  I thought I was sore yesterday.  I didn't want to go to the gym and have people see me crying and bent over like a ninety year old woman.  Still, I knew I needed to stretch out and loosen up.  I am telling you the worst was trying to sit down to go to the bathroom.   Ouch!!  I guess that might be TMI.

I pulled out one of the tapes I had and did a short work-out to help loosen those tight old muscles.  It did help some.  I felt like I could at least get up and down without moaning.  

After that I went on to something even more painful.  I worked on my taxes.  I couldn't finish them because my husband had some information I needed and he had to go to Chicago for work today.

After my husband got home we had to run to see his mother.  His sister called last night and said she was bad.  Well when we went over she seemed fine.  Mom and sister tend to panic about the least little thing.  I know her health isn't great, but every time she feels bad  she thinks she's dying.  She has lots of anxiety about dying.  I really wish my husband would see her more, that would probably help her to feel better.  

I have always had a very close relationship with my parents.  And now I have a close relationship with my children, so I just don't understand their family and how they interact.

The highlight of my day has been visiting all of the blogs in the blog hop and reading the comments from all the hoppers.  There are some incredibly talented woman out there! Linking with the Ladies has been one extraordinary experience.

Tomorrow morning I have to get my hair colored, hopefully I can still make it to the gym.  If not, I will use one of the tapes for a workout.  I am really getting so I need to workout.  I wish my diet was going better.  

Maybe I should blame my diet failures on all the blogs I looked at today that had such incredible food pictures and recipes.  If I just started looking at those today though that doesn't explain everything before today does it?  Come on you guys, encourage me!
