Today was not the best day.
I did not sleep well (too much to eat and drink thru out the day).
So shut off my 7am alarm that is not good when I do that. Knowing that I could call and put off my 8:30 until 9am, I woke up and called him at 8.
Got up and tried to wake up had a cup of coffee.
was on the computer for a bit, but did not take care of myself.
I did not wash my face nor brush my teeth.
usually it takes me an hour for each client. but my 1030 was an hour and a half and then my 1 oclock was out of town so by the time I got to sandras I had very little time to have lunch, a friend of mine was still there so she sat and waited with me while it took forever to come...I ate an elk burger which was dry, but I did not eat the bun. I only took my prescription meds not my vitamins...I was too rushed.
I then drove my 40 minute drive out of town and was 15 minutes late.
by the time I was finished with her and back into town I knew that I was not going to be able to see everyone so I called my 4;30 and asked to see her sooner. I forgot how long our visits usually are, she talks so much and I should not have scheduled her for 4;30 I was not thinking. I had to get home eat left overs and leave for my yoga class at 6. So she agreed to see me sooner 3;45, I still did not get out of there until about 5;15 so I rushed home and jeff heated up the meatloaf and I changed clothes and we ate...I was rushing all day. I did get to my yoga class early. jeff unloaded the dishwasher and cleaned up after dinner though I offered to do it when I got home, he said he would take care of the dishes.
The restorative yoga class just proved to me how out of shape I am in. It also showed me how I have had injuries in the past with current trouble areas.
left shoulder
right hip
right elbow
neck
back.
This was supposed to be a napping class.
I did not feel that way. laying on each body part hurt. The mat did not provide much cushion. Just the gravity of my bones weight hurt, not even doing any stretches.
I am out of shape.
I was glad that I made it though.
The instructor was very nice and she helped me with my blanket and I stayed after class and talked with her a bit about my hip.
She suggested as well as my friend today suggested that I try Yin yoga it meets on wednesdays at 6;30pm. It actually stretches you which is what I need.
so next week I will go to restorative on monday again the work shop on tuesday and the Yin yoga on wednesday.
After yoga I went to the freezing plunge pool to treat my elbow. I sat on the step and dangled my arm in the pool up to my bicept.
I talked with a couple of guys in the pool and one was a specialist, kinosthesiologist or something like that. He told me to do cold and hot treatments together. So I did 5 minutes in the cold pool and 5 minutes in the hot tub, I had to lay on my belly for that one...sigh, nobody cared they all have issues that they are doing the cold hot treatments. I did 2 rounds of that. Which was plenty. The cold plunge pool was so cold it made my fingers hurt and I could only stand 5 minutes!
After Reds I went to academy sporting goods store looking for a wrist brace that my physical therapist friend told me to get but kept forgeting to get it. So I had a young man help me get a brace. we ended up talking about his life and I was giving advice. sigh
I buy a brace and a block to do a hip stretch that tess the yoga instructor suggested. and I am home about 930pm. talked jeffs ear off and came on line to write this all out.
The block was too big and the brace ended up making my thumb numb and fell asleep and hurt which is not good so I will have to take both items back. sigh
It is now 11;15pm and I need to get ready for bed.
I sound hypomanic don't I?
good night
