Hey guys! I am feeling a little blah today. I’m a bit tired (due to hormones, I believe) and sore from yesterday’s PT<\/abbr> workout. We went to SF<\/abbr> last night and didn’t get home until 9:30ish. By the time Rocky gets his evening walk and we are changed into jammies, it’s usually going on 10pm. That’s so late! I want to be in bed by then already, not just starting to get ready for bed. I wish class was earlier.<\/p>\n

I was tired and a bit sore last night when I got home. I was sore from PT<\/abbr>, my legs were stiff and my shoulder and shoulder blade areas were really sore. I have no idea what caused that since I worked legs yesterday. In SF<\/abbr> we did some joint locks and my wrist ended up being a little achey. All I wanted last night was something indulgent and delicious before heading to bed.<\/p>\n

\"Bedtime<\/a>

Bedtime snack<\/p><\/div>\n

I had the adult version of cookies and milk before bed. While watching a little TV, I had two kashi cookies and a small glass of red wine. I love these cookies. They are soft and chewy because they are loaded with whole grains, dried fruit, and nuts. So yummy! After that I went straight up to bed.<\/p>\n

During the night I turned off my alarm and decided to get as much sleep as I could. I was tired and my body was so sore, I knew I had to give it a rest this morning. I work up around 7:20 and started the day. While the coffee was brewing I fed and got Rocky out for his morning potty. It was nice and chilly this morning and would have been perfect for a run but I stayed in.<\/p>\n

\"Granola\"<\/a>

Since I didn’t run, I didn’t want to have a huge bowl of oats, that would have been too heavy. I opted for the sliced banana, yogurt, and some granola instead. I ate that while letting the coffee sit and get nice and steamy.<\/p>\n

\"Morning<\/a>

Morning coffee<\/p><\/div>\n

After about 45 minutes or so I finally got some coffee. Mmmmm! It was yummy and hot, hot, hot. Perfect! Coffee plus creamer. After sipping the coffee and finishing it, I got dressed to take Rocky out. Just because I wasn’t running doesn’t mean he goes without a walk. Plus I wanted to use that walk to help work my muscles so they wouldn’t be so stiff. It helped a little. Once we got going my quads starting loosening up and moving smoother.<\/p>\n

By the time we got back home, it was time to get Scott up. Steps are still not my friend today. :p I had Scott rub some Thai Oil all over my back and shoulders to help loosen those up. And it worked almost instantly, they feel so much better. I got dressed and came downstairs to sit and stretch. I stretched for a good 10 minutes to try and work all the kinks out of my legs.<\/p>\n

I have been trying to buy a Wii Fit since it came out. I have a really bad habit of not stretching after my runs, I just want to change and sit down. But the Wii Fit has a yoga section (granted, I realize it’s not like a real yoga class) and I want to use that as my cool down. But dang, I cannot find one. I even signed up for Amazon to text me when they get them in stock, and as soon as I get the text I immediately turn to my computer to place an order and they are not there. :grumpy: I’m hoping to find one soon. If anyone has used it, feel free to pass along your thoughts.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
