Let me preface this by saying - my male readers may want to skip this post. It will be of NO interest to you. Seriously. GTFO now. Unless you want to understand your wife/girlfriend/friend/daughter's time of the month better.
Really? The first day? I missed the first damn day of my morning workouts? I am beyond frustrated, but I am sure that has a lot to do with the reason why I missed the first damn workout. And why I have been so fatigued the last few days. And irritable. Yup. You guessed it. My lovely time of the month. It was right on time - but it caught me off guard because I didn't have the normal symptoms. I have never been fatigued with my TOM before in my life - that I can remember. I usually am pretty irritable (just ask Matt), but the cramps are my number one signal. Since I was 12 years old, cramps start 3 days before, and I have really bad back pain. This time - I was just tired and eating like crazy. I thought that either I had pushed myself too hard working out, or I was getting sick.
I was exhausted yesterday. Matt let me sleep until almost 11. I woke up, went running, went to Lil Miss' soccer game, and I was ready for BED at 7:30 last night. Literally. I hung in until around 9:45 - then went to bed. And it started around 11 - the cramps, the lower back pain, the heat flashes and cold sweats. There was no warning. It was already here. I took medicine, and used a heating pad, and tried multiple hot showers. Between all that, and rocking like a crazy person, and laying in the fetal position, I MAY have gotten two hours of sleep last night. MAY. I was NOT going to cut that down to an hour to try to get up to work out. I am barely functioning as it is. I am exhausted, and hungry, and cranky, and bloated, and crampy, and NOW I'm pissed.
Why? Why Mother Nature, did you decide to drop this on me today? I was ready to go. I laid my clothes out last night. I moved the furniture in the living room. I put the DVD in the player, and had my weights and everything ready to go. I had mentally prepared myself to get up early. I even went to bed early. And you decide to just DROP in, unannounced?!?! That's some bullshit right there. You are purposely trying to sabotage me - and I don't like it. So today, I am going to go home, and just do what I can. Right now, I am so tired, I keep daydreaming about falling asleep at my desk, and waking up with the imprint of my keyboard on my forehead. I can't imagine going home and doing ONE workout, let alone two. Hopefully I can muster up enough energy to do one workout, and that will wake me up enough to do the second - but I am not making any promises about doing either.
OR - maybe I should just plan on going home, getting in a hoodie and some yoga pants, and curling up on the couch with a heating pad and a percocet.
Yep. I think I'll go with Plan B today. Tomorrow's another day.
