Challenge 2 Day 12- Me-1/Gremlins-1

Today, I think my gremlins got the best of me.

I woke up this morning with a bit of chaos in our home. My husband decided that he would take the kids to school, and since he still had to play "Mr. Mom" and take the kids to school, it was a little hectic. Also, it was progress report day and my daughter had missing assignments that sent him over the edge. I got up and went straight to the gym after they left, especially since I felt my gremlins starting to grow!

I got to the gym and pushed through 10 minutes on the elliptical. Now I was real proud of myself because my strides have been between 135-140, this time, I was able to push it between 140-150. I was really proud of myself. Then I went to the stationary bike, and this was where the gremlin started coming out. I left hip was starting to get real sore. Every time I would pedal, I would get this sharp pain in my left side. So I got off the stationary bike and went to the recumbent bike, to see if sitting different would help..... Not so much luck. So me-1 Gremlin-1.

The rest of the day I got a lot of work done as well as picked up the kids and took them to get their hair cuts. While they were there, my friend who owns the shop bought the kids some food at the diner next door, and I did real well not eating anything there. All I got was tea.

Now, when I got home, the kids went off, to play the Wii and other things, while I worked on bookkeeping things on the computer. By the time I realized what time it was, it was after 9:30 pm and I didn't realize that I still hadn't had dinner. Everything was still frozen, and I didn't have any leftovers. So I sent my husband a text to pickup dinner, and when he texted me back to see what to get, I didn't get that text, so he made an executive decision and picked Taco Bell. Now that place is my weakness. I didn't do my best- that is why I stay away from that place completely.
