Step Away From the Cake

  I need to figure out exactly what is important to me and what I really want. I know I've done this before, recently, but we are now back to school and the entire schedule has changed. It was easy to stamp my foot and say that is it when I am on break and have all the freaking time in the world. Now that I am back to school, it is time to rethink it all.  I need to dissect my schedule/routine and see what I'm working with: 4:15 am                     Wake up, bathroom, brush teeth 4:20 am                     Empty dishwasher, make coffee 4:30 am                    Wake Hubby, meditate 4:40 am                    Bathroom break 4:50 am                    Shower, dress for walking 5:05 am                    Walk Mavy 5:30 am                     Get dressed, pack lunch, make more coffee, etc. 6:00 am                     Leave house This puts me at school at around 6:30 am. My contract states that I need to be there by 7 am. So I theoretically have an addition 30 minutes in the mor

 I'm beginning to worry that there is something seriously wrong with my leg/back. On Wednesday my leg/back was a little sore so I decided to use my percussion gun on it. I laid on the couch and ran the gun over the IT band, my butt, a little low back. It felt good and I thought it had helped, until I woke up yesterday morning. It felt like my left leg was sort of weak. It's hard to explain but it was painful. Sitting hurt more than anything else, so I tried to stand most of the day. Standing was definitely better. But I have pain through my butt and down my leg. It feels better this morning but I'm beginning to think that there is something more going on than just a strain.  Between this being the first week of school, the tiredness, and the leg pain, I didn't get any workouts in this week. I have got to figure this out. I'm going to devote some time to just that this weekend. Figure out what I can do during the week and when I can do it.  Otherwise, it was a good w

 Well, I survived the first week of school, even though I only saw the kids for 2 days. I was so incredibly tired on Wednesday. Exhausted. But Thursday was a little better and I'm sure I'll adjust as the weeks go by. This week might be rough because it will be the first full week. But I'm pretty sure I will survive.  So last week I went to the gym on Monday and Tuesday. I knew that I would be rushing on Wednesday and Thursday so I didn't want to have to deal with the gym. Then on Friday I had to go to the business Costco and into school. I did go on Saturday but then I didn't go yesterday. I was planning on it and somehow the morning just got away from me. I thought that I would do a workout at home and that didn't work at all. So getting to the gym is clearly going to be something I have to work on. I did do Supernatural Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. So it's not like I'm being completely lazy. But I need to get to the gym. With me going to work on Frida
