Originally I was planning on the 8am yoga class today but I left the boyfriend's house later than I expected to fit in am food shopping and yoga. I left the grocery store at 7:48 per my car clock... with milk and frozen stuff, there was no way to get home, put stuff away, change, AND get to yoga by 8am!
But grocery shopping done, and extra done! All this hype about the pending hurricane, even I bought into it a little. Got the bottle of water "just in case" along with bread. When was the last time I bought bread?? LOL! But now pb&j or tuna sandwiches... I'm ready. Plus, my Gatorade was on sale down to $0.88! I still had 5 left from last week and bought another 8. But I drink those all the time.
Last Saturday, RIGHT after I wrote, I stretched. And then I got the WORST cramps in both calves. WOW, I was almost in tears. It hurt to walk for DAYS. I still met Carrie and tried to run, and stupid me did a workout at home after that, including squats and lunges. Oh well.
I think it was because my body was low on sodium. With all the exercising I've been doing, plus the heat in general, I've been sweating A LOT. And low sodium can cause muscle cramps, especially in calves.
After running, I picked up chips and that cheese dip stuff. Between Saturday and Sunday, I ate the WHOLE thing of cheese dip! And it was a BIG jar! I tossed the chips that were left. But last Saturday night when I was out with the boyfriend, we went to this great Chinese restaurant near us and I got sushi, which I had been craving. I guess my body knew I needed the sodium.
With everything I had eaten, when I got on the scale Monday morning, I was up 2 whole pounds from Friday! Crazy!! But I was down again by Tuesday... all the water I was retaining from the sodium overload. By noon on Monday I had gone to the bathroom about 6 times. That's just insane for me! :)
SO... all the Gatorade I have now, full of electrolytes, that should help with the cramping I was getting. Plus, I started taking my magnesium supplements again. And Calcium and Vitamin D. I'm out of my multi-vitamins and keep forgetting to pick up some more. Hopefully all of that will help.
Last night was back over the boyfriends. We grabbed ice cream (second time this week!) and then watched The Source Code. Not exactly my type of movie... one for him, but I really really liked it. And I LOVED the ending! SO good! It was one of those that sort of stays with you and then you keep the story going in your head after the movie ends. I love those! :)
I got him to shut off the stupid alarm this morning, which was awesome... no vitamin info-mercial to wake me up at 5:45am. But I was still up just after 6. I felt a little squished in his King sized bed. He was over on the right side, where he always sleeps. I was right in the middle. And the dog? The 110 pound American Bull Dog? Yeah, he was on the other side of me, his back to me with him facing the edge of the bed and he was SHARING MY PILLOW!! Seriously??
If it wasn't just after 6am, I would have turned on the light. I tried to get a picture but it was too dark in the room and I didn't want to wake up the boyfriend then. But Rocco was next to me, with his head RIGHT on the pillow. He is just too funny! Here's a pic of this HUGE dog. He looks kind of tough but just like the boyfriend, a big lovable teddy bear! :)
Rocco laying on the floor.
This really is just a yawn, but he looks like he's growling, huh? :)
And the two boys hanging out watching TV.
But tonight... Pats are playing. We'll be out to watch the game before the 8pm kickoff. Pretty excited about it and about football season in general, even if that means that summer will be over.
One more week of work before I have a full week off. I am REALLY looking forward to having a week of no work, even though I don't have any plans. Just to rest, relax and NOT WORK! :) I really need it right now.
Today I want to get some cleaning done that I've blown off around the house and see what else comes up. I have to leave my house at 6:30, so shower for 5:30... but its not even 9:15am, so I have ALL day to do whatever I want to do. :) Guess that's one good thing about getting up super early... more time to enjoy.
I'll have to get home early tomorrow, before the storm gets bad here. The cats would be starving otherwise! And I'll hang out at home for most of the day tomorrow too. Usually I'm up at my parents house on Sunday's but I already told them that I'm not going to come up because of the weather and everything. I'm pretty sure that tomorrow night I'll be back over at the boyfriends and I'll spend Sunday night sleeping there again too... at least that's my hope and my plan.
Now off of enjoy my day with whatever I can dream up! Happy Weekend again!
