View NIKKI8's food & exercise for this day

I am so tired that I just cancelled running with my friend. I feel really guilty about that. I was looking forward to it all day, but we were supposed to run at 9:30 and I just couldn't get into it.
I had an appointment with the accupressurist today and it went really well. He worked on my arm and my neck. Many areas with lots of tension knots and scar tissue. I can tell that it's really going to help. There are things I have to be doing each day to help: certain stretches, ice, and static exercises. So I have to remember to do those. I often forget the ice especially and today was the first time he told me about the others.
I picked up the boys and we went grocery shopping. Got home and put Carter down for a nap. Got a few things done before hubby got home. Got everyone packed up and we went to a local pool that had a slide and sprinklers and stuff.
When we got home, I quickly threw dinner together and got the kids ready for bed. So I am just worn out.
I did do 30 mins on the elliptical this morning. So I'm glad I did something. But still, I wish I got my butt in gear and went running. I won't be able to tomorrow and we are planning on biking on Wednesday.

I had some slip ups with food today. I didn't eat much lunch because of all the errands we were running. I got too hungry and I had a chip binge. So I definetly should have done some things different there. That will be my redo later when I write in my journal.

Tomorrow we plan to stay home all day. :clap: I promised Collin that we would have at least one day where we didn't go anywhere. I have things to do around the house but I just want to play with my boys. Go swimming, play games, play with playdough, stuff like that.
The problem is I get distracted, make phone calls, get into a cleaning project or something like that and I don't play with them like I planned. So I need to be strong on the focus tomorrow. I'm going to plan out my day and write down exactly what I want to accomplish and when so I have it all planned out. :y:

Okay, I off to take a hot shower, write in my journal and just read some fiction before I go to bed. :yawn3:

I'm the opposite - I get so into playing with Daniel that my house is a total mess. My kitchen floor is gross and has to be done today!

Sorry you didn't get to run -- you may have felt better if you did, but sometimes it is just good to listen to your body and rest. I hope you're enjoying your day with the boys!
