A somewhat weird kinda day today...nothing too dramatic, but I am not feeling on top of my game today.
Breakfast was ok, and then got to work just in time to run to class, and then had just a few minutes to confer with my lab-assistant and assign her work, before I had to run off to a department meeting (yes! we have way TOO MANY MEETINGS!!!! :()
I was under the impresssion they were going to provide lunch, so didn't bring any with me, but turns out that they weren't today, so..no food for me :( There was no time to pick up any after my meeting, because I had two other meetings back-to-back after the first one.
By this point, my stomach was feeling unsettled--I can't remember for how long it had been feelign that way up to that point in the day...it felt like how one would feel the day after a long night of drinking!! I didn't think I could really eat...but I was hungry too! I had an orange, and my protein bar that I'd had the presence of mind to bring with me today. After the final meeting--which had spilled over and gone on too long, so now I only had about 30 mins to get ready for class---and yikes! I was being "observed" i.e., "evaluated" today (so perhaps that was adding to my stress, and the weak stomach..who knows). But by this point, I really couldn't put any water or food in my system--even though I thought I could have used them for the next 2 hours of standing up and teaching. Class went well (even though I felt/and possibly looked a little stressed/scrambled at the beginning).
For some reason, after class, instead of dashing right out of work, I decided to go de-stress and chat with a colleague--which ended up taking an hour! Came home and was starving by then, so had a pre-cooked lentil soup, a whole wheat pita and yesterday's mexican leftover of oily veggies and beans (and just a little bit of guac), and some walnuts/peanuts, and a little bit of cheese.
Am feeling somewhat full, and my stomach is unreliable, and am still feeling tired, and have to get some work done in prep for tomorrow's long day, and....HAVEN'T STILL WORKED OUT!!!! It's almost 9 pm, and I really should go and workout, but am worried that my stomach's going to hurt if I do so!
So, I don't know why, but my "mojo"'s off today! Hope I get some energy back soon...I really don't want to miss a day of working out. I almost didn't journal today either..but made myself do it. Now, I just have to talk myself into going and working out...
