Let me add a disclaimer to my last post: the friends live nowhere near us and overall our neighborhood is pretty darn safe. But still, feelings aren't always rational! I'm discussing with my counselor tomorrow.
Schedules this week are kind of crazy - lots of unusual stuff happening and it's adding up to a wacky gym schedule. Sunday and Monday I did nothing, yesterday I walked for 15 minutes on the elliptical, and today will probably be something similar. I've been trying since Sunday to arrange a time to meet with my trainer, with no success. We set up a time which I need to rearrange (T has a colonoscopy Friday) but she isn't responding.
Yesterday I had a church meeting, today I get my covid booster (yay!), tomorrow I have an appointment with TSA to get the pre flight certification (if I'm flying for work this makes sense to me). Add a marriage counseling appointment tomorrow evening alongside of T's prep for Friday, Friday appointment, and then a get together of ladies coordinated by Elle of my beloved former gym later Friday evening. Well, you get the idea.
Add that work is becoming busier and more demanding (a good thing!), but it all adds up to a week that feels like it's full of spinning plates. Food yesterday was on point with the exception of scanty vegetables (I planned to have a salad for lunch, instead I ate a chicken thigh and never prepped anything else!).
I have the time to do more, but I lack the spoons to make it happen. Some days you settle for the minimum. That feels like the theme of this week. Trying to be okay with that.
Take care.

I live in a higher end neighborhood with no issues anywhere near us, but the security door made a huge difference in how I feel.
Sometimes life does get in the way and we have to do what we can when we can. This week I did what I could. I did manage to run slow and not far 6 days. My eating was out of control so I gained. I am starting today!
