Hello buddies! Stressful weekend, to say the least. Steps weren't amazing, and calories were probably too low.

Our beach day was a disappointment. We packed a cooler with lunch supplies and hit the road. We arrived, doused ourselves in sunscreen and the moment we hit the water the horizon turned black. For our ten dollar entry fee and hour+ on the road we got maybe thirty minutes of beach time. We ended up eating our lunch in the car while the rain poured down.

My brother talked me into going to my moms for the evening, she decided to buy us pizza for dinner. Sigh. I did well, one slice of pizza and some hot wings. I turned down seconds, and delicious alcoholic drinks as everyone else got their party on. Drove home late, around 2 am. God it's great to be the designated driver, blah. After a few short hours of sleep I got up with the kiddo and went to my grandmas for a visit. My late grandfather's siblings were there visiting her which happens once every decade or so, so you can bet the whole damn family was there. They decided to go out and get a boatload of fried chicken with all the fix'ns to feed the family. I kindly passed. I didn't want to be rude and ask everyone to move their cars so I could leave, so I waited patiently. It was after 5 before I got home, and storms had moved in by then so there went my chance of getting in the pool sunday.

I am tired. I feel burned out by the demands of life, the expectations of me by those around me. I feel like i literally spent my entire weekend doing what everyone else wanted to do, and although I probably have no one to blame for that but myself I'm pretty disappointed. Next weekend will be clinicals so it will be a while before I'm able to re-do.

The good news is that I did not use my disappointment as an excuse to eat. If anything I didn't eat enough. So no harm - no foul I suppose, even though the activity wasn't there. I need to work through some of these feelings I've got going on so i think the kiddo and I will go on a walk and maybe (if the gods approve) finally be able to spend some time in my pool today.

Hope we are all off to a solid start to the week! Have a good day, buddies :)

Awww! That's a shame! I think maybe made worse because you were on a high from reaching Onederland and really needed to celebrate and let off some steam? It's awful too when your free time is limited and then seems to be wasted. Never mind, can't be helped, sometimes bad stuff just happens, nothing you can do about it. And I'm sure you'll soon be back to your normal cheerful self. Congrats on passing up on all that food and drink, by the way! Kinda like passing an exam, without even knowing you were going to be doing one!

I don't know about you but sometimes the stress of being what everyone else wants and needs you to be is just overwhelming. You have to give your self some 'you 'time to just breathe and feel good about your self and not just mirror what everyone else expects you to be. Nice job not using food to relax.
