Guilt

Today was a workout day out of absolute, pure guilt!!  Nothing else!!!  We worked on Tony's master's paper for most of the day.  When he left for his rotation, I had SO much to get done in just a few short hours.  So I didn't get to work out.  I planned to do it after the kids were in bed.

Cheryl came down about a quarter to 10:00 to pick up some books I borrowed for Logan.  She asked if I had worked out today.  I told her that I hadn't.  She told me to get going!!!  (I'm SO thankful for annoying friends like her... ha ha ha).  I told her that I had a huge headache and was going to go to bed.  Thankfully, she let me off the hook.

My head was pounding and I hurried to finish washing PK's bottles before bed.  Then the guilt started in.... I knew that she had worked out for 45 minutes AND THEN went to play basketball for 90 minutes.  And here I was - with not even a push up under my belt.  Yep - I knew the guilt was getting me and there was no way around it.

Contrary to what it may seem... I REALLY did have a massive headache and I really was going to work out before it got too bad.  But I knew I couldn't go to bed now without doing something.  I knew I couldn't do aerobic - my head wouldn't survive the jumping.  So, I hopped on my bike.  I ended up riding for 30 mins and actually felt better after.  I found a SUPER cheesy Jane Austen knock-off to keep my mind busy while riding. 

Afterward, I texted Cheryl to tell her that I HATE her!!  But also to thank her for guilting me into my exercise for the day.  Since we decided we're both going to die trying to get fit, our new motto is "all for one and one to fall!"  (Although it really should be ALL to fall since we're both going down!!) :) Like it?!?! :)

Well, I'm done with my work of dread,
My headache has NOT fled,
I've already taken my med
So me and my pounding head
are headed straight to bed! 

Wow - obviously my head isn't hurting enough to keep me from ending with an awful poem! :) ha ha.  GOOD NIGHT!!!
