Tuesday 2/23

Ended up being an off day - stopped by the Humane Society after work to drop off more paperwork & by the time I got home, I didn't feel like exercising.

Feeling very tired this week....plus my neck is completely jacked up again (can barely move my head) and it's so painful to lay down, I'm not sleeping well. Also having headaches during the day. This sux!
