Oh I so wish I wasn't feeling so tired, at least today I got something accomplished.  I did my fasting last night so that I could get blood work done this morning.  That took longer than I had planned for so it was after 10 before I got anything to eat.  Subway here I come.  Egg white on flat bread with veggies.  

 After a stop off at the house to change into my gym clothes I treated myself to a few things that I am sure I could live without ... but I wanted them.  I got me a timer so that I don't have to look at the clock or lose count when I am doing timed exercises.  And my favorite. Boxing gloves :D

The gloves aren't the big fat ones you have seen me using in my the pix I did for the contest but the fun ones that I can have my fingers free.  The gloves made their debut at my next stop.  I had a session with James and I got them broke in really well.  I did learn a bit better how I needed to use my hands.  I had a lot more "feel" with them and realized how much I had been relying on the gloves to do part of the work.  I was forced to get better position with my body as well as throwing the punches.  On top of the extra effort, since I confessed to not working out all week, James decided I needed to work harder.  I just thought I was tired last night when I left.  Everything he threw at me I pushed back with.  I was tired, drenched and felt half dead but great at the same time.

I had planned on going to BodyCombat but after coming home to rest I realized I was exhausted.  It was all I could do to run one more errand.  Dr Office for blood work.  Tag office, that was crazy.  Ended up leaving cuz of a line out the door and then realized I could get them at United.  Got home in time to sit down to eat before I got the call to pick up Afton, my daughter.  I made the mistake after finally getting back home falling asleep before I had to drop her off for the evening.  The plan when I dropped her off was to head off to class but it was all I could do to get her dropped off.  I came back home and rested.

So even though I didn't get in a second workout in I feel good about the day.  My nutrition was good.  I am getting there slowly but surely and I feel good.
