Tough Sledding

Challenges abound.

Work has been tougher than usual. My schedule got thrown way off yesterday morning; I didn't get in my 'morning' workout until after noon, and didn't get to eat my first meal until almost 1pm. We had errands to run yesterday evening, so I picked up a small sirloin and a side salad for dinner. The steak was grossly overcooked... I asked for medium rare and it was WAY past well done - so far so that the bottom was actually crispy. We had a software deployment scheduled, so I went back to work until almost midnight. I didn't start my exercise routine until after midnight, finishing well after 1am.

Today was another rough day at the home office; my first workout was again delayed until around noon. Afterwards I got sucked back into a work issue until 2pm, which pushed my first meal back past 2pm. Even worse - I made a miscalculation in my meal planner and undershot my total carbs and calories. Not dangerously low, but enough to have a noticeable effect; I struggled mightily during my workout, and I'm feeling a bit dull right now. Just mentally heavy in a way I'm generally not, and I don't like it.

Tomorrow is Friday; it has to get better from here, right?
