I did not sleep well last night! Somehow three kids ended up in my bed and I got pancaked.  I feel stiff and drained today. I made it to the gym and ran .25 and my muscles in legs were just hurting worse so I decided to walk at a fast pace that was still comfortable. I did 2 miles in 30 minutes and then I worked my abs.  I did a few leg weight with lower weight on them to try to strech a little and work the parts of my legs that are not sore. I did a few arm weights and then I rode the bike for 30 minutes.

I am having a hard time with the birth mom of this baby and the grandparents, so my mind was just not in it today. I just could not find my zone.  I got home and there was another message on my phone and now I am so angry I feel like I need to go back to the gym. I could probley run at this point.   

I felt so anxious I decided to try getting on my treadmill. I did another half mile and then decided I should just play with my kids or something.
