So today marks exactly one week since I was able to get into the gym and work out, and we havent even been able to do our marathon training this week.  I am working until 9 or 930 tonight, then I am determined to go to the gym and lift and do some running.  We had a few people quit at work, and so they changed my schedule so that I am permanently working the night shift till 9 or 10.  That is perfectly fine with me, but it has taken me a few days to adjust to waking up at different times and being at work later.  I think that it is actually going to be better once Im on a better sleep schedule cuz I can get up at a decent time, and go to the gym and do my workouts, cardio, and even take an abs or yoga class if I want before work.  Mayah and my mom were both here this week too, which was stressful, and we spent some time at my aunts house.  With work changes, family visiting, and fighting with Heather all week, I just had soo much going on that I didnt find much time to do anything.  Also, I have had continued numbness in my left leg above the knee ever since I tried to squat last week.  Im afraid that I may have pinched a nerve or something.  It doesnt hurt, but it always feels numb, or like pins and needles like my quad is asleep, and its annoying.  I dont really know why Heather and I have been fighting so much this week, but she seems to be really emotional.  Shes at "that time of the month" and it was fathers day, and she has real dad issues, plus she misses her grandpa, who basically raised her, but is now passed on, and she had a dream about him, so that made her sad.  She has threatened to leave and go back to California a few times, and I told her to go ahead, which made her more mad and upset, but if thats what she needs, then Im ok with it cuz I dont want her here if she is unhappy and going to always be in a shitty mood and trying to bring me down with her.  Im trying to be all about positivity, and this week, she has been all about negativity, so who knows what will happen.  Anyway, I am going to the gym tonight, and then will try to be more consistent the rest of the week.  We are going to Brandons wedding in San Diego on Saturday, so Friday, Saturday, and Sunday will be stressful and exhausting for me, but after this weekend is done, I should finally be able to have a more regular schedule and really get some good work done in the gym.  On a side note, the Angels have been doing amazingly well, and last nights game was spectacular.  I dont see how anyone will be able to keep them from winning the World Series this year, they are just too solid.  Ok, off to work.  Workout update hopefully tonight or in the morning when I wake up.
