Head In The Clouds

Wow it's early....or it was at 7am! It would have been even earlier if I would have gotten up at 6am like I should have. I planned out my whole day and meals last night, thinking that if I got up at 7am I could workout around 8:15am and be ready to head out of the house by 11:45am. Negative. I ended up realizing at 8:15am that, "Crap!", I have to go workout now so I can shower, eat a post-cardio meal, and get ready to leave by 11:45am! So I had to do a quick 30 minute Tae Bo workout on a full belly--only 15 minutes after finishing breakfast! Yucky! Luckily my pre-cardio meal wasn't too heavy.

Luckily I fell asleep pretty quickly last night and slept great until 3am. Then I woke up wide awake. Like, "Let's get up, it's morning!", awake. Crazy. I was also starving! My tummy was even growling. I was quite tempted to go eat one of those amazing butterscotch cookies but then I thought, do I really want one? I had freakin' 4 of them last night! I could pretty much still remember what it tasted like and it's not like they're going to be gone soon (she made like 30+ of them). Plus, Mom has the recipe and I bet I could clean it up and sub some applesauce for the oil/butter and Splenda Granular for the sugar so it wouldn't be so awful for you. Hmm..I'll have to work on that ;o)

Anyways, so I decided that no, I really didn't want one or need one. I was going to try and just let the hunger pass but it got bad. So I settled for a Balance bar that I had in my room. I keep them in the mini fridge I have in my room (I won it at my Senior All Night Grad. Party--why waste it? lol). So I ate the bar, played some solitaire on my Nintendo DS (it's pink of course!) and then went back to sleep like 30 minutes later. And I slept great until my alarm went off at 7am. I really wanted to turn it off and go back to bed until 10am but figured that sitting 3 1/2 hours at the theater today would make my back hurt so bad that I needed to loosen it up before going.

My BFF and I are going to see Legally Blonde at the Fox this afternoon. I'm really worried about the sitting for 3.5 hours because as I'm sitting here now, my back is already hurting bad! I see my arthroscopic surgeon February 9th but I'm really worried about what she's going to suggest. The pain got really bad last night. I got shooting sharp pains through my left hip and leg any time I moved. It only lasted about 15 minutes but I know when I get that pain or a tingling that nerves are getting involved. The only thing I can do right now is pray and take pills. What a combination haha
