Angry Workouts

Did I have this stamped on my forehead today? It sure felt that way. Let me start at the beginning.
So last night, I set the alarm for 7:30, so that I could be up by eight. My hubby wanted some help with something, so I thought I would get up early and help. Well, my loving hubby turned off the alarm, and I didn't hear it, and woke up at almost 9.
Secondly, I had written down my work schedule wrong, so instead of closing like I thought, I was supposed to open. I get a frantic call from my boss at 11:30, because the other girl who was supposed to open with me wasn't there either, so no one had been at the salon for the first 2 1/2 hours we were supposed to be open. I was in the middle of making food for me to take to work for my dinner, so I tore out of the house with a few snacks so that I didn't starve, got to my work in 20 minutes instead of 30, and apologized profusely to my boss. She understood, and since I am never late to work, I didn't get fired.
Thirdly, work was ROUGH!! I didn't hardly get tipped, which is unusual, and my second to last customer was totally and completely rude to me for no good reason. She was telling me to put more layers in her daughters hair, and I explained that if I did that, it would create holes in the bottom line of her daughters hair, which I knew she wouldn't like. So she rudely tells me to cut it shorter and redo the layers, and I did it with a smile. She pays and storms out of the door, and again no tip. Now, most of the people that didn't tip, were teenage boys sent in by their moms who weren't ever told that they should tip. I understand that, and that's fine. It was just frustrating, because we are looking for a house, and I need every penny I can get because I want to come up with a good down payment in the next couple of months.
Then I get home, finally ready to try some of my new dinner, because my hubby said it was tasty. Well, he had eaten it all, so I got to make me a sandwich.
AAAAAAGGGHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So, I went down to Curves, and Chelsea was there! (YaY!) She decided she would come and workout with me. We went around the circut, talking and catching up, and I ended up doing a ton of talking. I was so distracted by our wonderful conversation/rant fest on my end, that I worked out harder than I have in a LONG time! I burned 631 calories in 30 minutes, and I feel spectacular about it! Just think, I am that much closer to my goal, and if I stay consistent with my workouts this week, I should loose more inches, and hopefully another lb!
Sorry for the raving rant, but angry workouts are majorly productive!
