Did 3 classes at the gym last night and feel completely exhausted this morning.  I wanted to cry when the alarm clock went off this morning at 4 a.m..  Not enough sleep! hehe.  The classes were a lot of fun though so I don’t regret going.  I did step aerobics from 5-6, abs class with Derek from 6-6:30 then kickboxing from 6:30 - 7:15.  I was able to get through all the classes fairly easily although new moves have been added to step since the last time I was there. That threw me off a little bit.   “Okay everyone let’s do boxers!”  *Thinking wtf - watches*  “Okay got it!”  Got that pattern down then Michelle starts yelling out multiple combos at once “shuffle the board, walk the board and do walk aways.”  I had no idea what these steps were so I had to watch a few minutes to get it.  Lots of fun!! I can’t wait to go back next Monday!

The kickboxing class was basically an intro.  We learned proper stance, jabs, crosses, upper cuts, front kicks, side kicks and back kicks.  I know I would have a great time taking the class but Derek warned that there is a risk of getting injured because we will be throwing punches and kicks at one another.  The last thing I need is for someone to accidentally hit my jaw instead of the targets lol.  I might try a class next week just to see how it goes.  If I don’t feel safe I won’t be going back.  Better safe than sorry.  I have plenty of classes and turbulence training routines to keep me busy anyhow.

I just finished having some spicy chicken breast with fresh veggies on a whole wheat pita.  Very yummy!  I can’t wait to get off work at 2 and relax for a bit.  Derek is teaching Bosu class at 6 so I may go to that.  We’ll see.

Anyhow that’s the scoop.  I promise to post pictures of my teeth later so everyone can see the progress.

Going to try to write in my blog more…even if it’s only a few short lines every day. Maybe it will help keep my sanity. I’m going to blog the good stuff and the bad stuff. I need to get it all out so I can cleanse and find peace!
At work until 3:30 today - wish it was 3 already. Hoping for a quick shift so I can head home and hit the gym. Feeling incredibly stressed out and need to unwind and relax. I’m having a difficult time getting back to real food. I’ve been eating clean but falling back on my shakes or having a few treats here and there that I shouldn’t have. I’m working out and sticking with my exercise. Quite a few people have told me I’m being too hard on myself. I haven’t been able to chew food for 3 months and it’s nice getting to taste food again. I just want to get back on a regular routine and feel happy. Lately I have been feeling stressed. There have been some major changes in my life adjusting with the surgery, Allison starting school, and a few other things I can’t bring myself to blog about right now. It will all even out in time but right now it’s a bit tough.

Wow I started this post over 3 hours ago and I’m just getting back to it now. Darn rush of calls at work!

I have an appointment with Dr. Matheson in a half hour. My archwire came loose from one of my teeth so I have to get that put back in place. I really should post some pictures from the surgery and my teeth movement. I think some people would find it interesting. I will try to get that done tonight.

I got a message on Facebook this morning from the gym I attend in Montague. Kettleball and Kickboxing classes start next week! They have pre-clinic classes you have to take beforehand - only $15 so I really want to sign up. I’m hoping my schedule at work will allow me to attend most of the classes. Worst case scenario I may miss 1 or 2 classes out of 11 weeks. Definitely worth signing up for. I think Derek is teaching the kickboxing as well so added bonus! Bosu class is also back on for Tuesday nights at 6 - YAY!

God reading this over it’s funny how my mood has changed from “blah” this morning to happy right now. See how much fitness and new activities excite me? I really think my problem is being stuck in the house all the time. I need to get out more and do things. Sitting around is driving me nuts. Having 6 kids running and demanding things around my house is tough too. I love them to death - don’t get me wrong - but it’s tough! The kids have little friends that come over to play every day after work. The minute we get home the kids are waiting in the driveway. As soon as we get in the house the demands start for food - something to drink and to watch tv. I do my best but I’m only 1 person hehe.
Anyhow that’s the scoop. I will write more later!
