Oh yeah, that exercise thing… June 17, 2008

Why is it I can only focus on one thing at a time? I finally rode Tigs Monday, and today I was supposed to run. Did I run? Nope. Tigger got a nice massage, though. He likes those.
The plan today was this:
9am: Tigger gets his massage
11:50am: Kim gets her back cracked at the chiropractor
1:00pm: Kim & Sherene run at the gym
3:30pm: Kim picks up daughter from school, takes her to gymanstics.
5:30pm: Gymanstics is over, Kim takes girls home after relaxing with a magazine during class.
6:30pm: Kim prepares and serves a fabulous, nutritious meal that her family swoons over.
Here’s what actually happened:
9am: Tigger gets his massage
11:50am: Kim gets her backed cracked at the chirporactor
12:10pm: Kim realizes that she has no snacks for between school and gymnastics, so she heads to grocery store.
12:30pm: Kim calls Sherene. A mutual lunch date is scheduled instead of the run.
1:00pm: Kim arrives at Sherene’s, sandwiches and Starbucks in hand.
2:00pm: Kim goes on a hunt for blue eye shadow for daughter’s dress rehearsal (which she just remembered).
3:00pm: Kim uses last little bit of time to get batteries replaced in two clocks she’s had in her purse since February.
3:30pm: Kim picks up 2nd daughter and drives to gymnastics.
4:00pm: Kim drops off 1st daughter at gymnastics and takes 2nd daughter to Target to continue quest for blue eye shadow.
4:30pm: Blue eye shadow located. It’s just as hideous as Kim remembers. Daughter is thrilled.
5:15pm: Return to gymnastics only to be serenaded by daughter with “I’m bored, I’m bored, I’m bored, I’m bored…”
5:30pm: Gymnastics is over.
6:15pm: Both daughters are FINALLY loaded in the car.
6:30pm: Arrive home. Realize that there is no food to cook dinner with.
8:00pm: Family sits down to eat a smorgasborg of leftovers (asparagus, pizza, chicken nuggets, noodles).
And there you have it, a hectic yet minimally productive day.
What has kind of put the fork in all this is that I was supposed to meet Kristi at the gym tomorrow morning. Instead she cancelled because she went today (we were supposed to be going M/W/F). I think we got our wires crossed because I got a definite “F-U” feeling from her on the phone. Anywho, I should go to the gym in the morning, but I know that my motivation at that time of day is not stellar, especially alone. I do not have time to run later in the day, unless I want to sacrfice riding Tigger. That isn’t going to happen. So I feel that once again I’m on that slippery slope, being in danger of falling off the wagon.
We’ll see what tomorrow brings…

I feel the same way.. just gotta do it, even without any motivation, right?? UHHGG.
I am living your parallel East Coast life. I spend 5 hours/week at gymnastics with (1) on the team and (2) in recreational classes - 25 mins each way. That is my life. Crazy - how do we find any time for ourselves?
