tough day
Well where do you start.
I made the lunches and Martin and I got all the beds made and everyone dressed, teeth cleaned, hair done so we could leave at 7.55am. I had to drop Martin off today as his usual ride was away. After I dropped him I took Isaiah to Kindy but he was early so we waited in the car till they opened. From there I dropped Dayna off at day-care. I waited till she was settled and went to leave but she screamed for me, which is a usual experience and one that is so heart breaking.
I headed to the gym. I really wanted to be back to see Zappo the Magician who was entertaining at Kindy. Going to the gym at that time I hit the peak traffic and to get through the Terrace Tunnel it took 10mins, normally a 30second trip. I pulled in and really felt the head ache that I thought was brewing. I was in no mood to exercise and this just exasperated this feeling. I decided to go to the Warehouse first which is just next door. I needed a present for a birthday party Isaiah just got invited to for Saturday and some gifts for the kids from their Grandad for Christmas.
Well I was ready to go to the gym but still felt half hearted. I did my usual session and at 3mins on the treadmill I wanted to get off. I don’t know if it was the incline or the head ache or the just can’t be bothered mood i was in. I tried to put myself in the zone and it worked. I really focused on it to the point i got emotional and nearly made me cry. I carried out my workout with vigor and passion.
I went to my cool down stretches and when I went to do the ab exercised I have been given. There are 3 levels and I normally do level 2 but something took over and I was on level 3. This exercise gets called the bridge or the plank. I was lying down but then raise yourself on the toes while resting on your forearms so your body is off the ground.
From here I went to kindy after I was changed and Zappo was packing up, so I missed him.
I took Isaiah home and had lunch, then we got Dayna and went looking for a card and a little token All Blacks item for Matthew whose party is on Saturday. We picked up Martin and got a few groceries then home.
Martin’s Dad came over and picked up a box of Christmas presents for the family in Christchurch as he was heading there for work. Yay, that is another Christmas job complete, and I know the gifts have arrived.
I am going to blob for the night as feel tired and the headache is back.
