Mid-Week Insanity

The past two days have been insanely busy. I'm talking being out of the house for 14-16 hours kind of busy. I'm exhausted so this is just a quick update.

Everything is going well. My eating has been a bit off routine in the timings of my meals but they've been on track in terms of being clean and whole life challenge compliant.

Yesterday I was late leaving the house - I mean really late. I'm usually at the gym by 6:45 a.m., but yesterday I didn't even leave the house until 7:45! I almost didn't go to the gym, but I knew that if I didn't go then, then I wouldn't get a chance to workout later.

I only had time to do 4 km on the cross-trainer, after that I had to rush to work - class, office hours, meeting, acupuncture, and another doctor's appointment (everything is fine - further update later) - and then home just in time for dinner ... though it sucked that nothing was prepared. The last thing I wanted to do was cook, but didn't have any other choice. Salmon and veggies are a great go-to dinner for me!

Today was a similarly hectic day. I did get to the gym on time, but I had a much longer workout so I didn't have much time to spare in terms of getting any extra cardio in or do my burpees. Some days are just like that. I did have a great weights workout though. I proudly sweated through my new t-shirt:

Office hours; class; research interview; conference on the role/place/situation of women in Kuwait (4 1/2 hours) - very interesting lectures and discussions; 1/2 an hour at home to quickly eat something (thank goodness some leftovers were in the fridge!!) and then head out to hang out with my girlfriends for a few hours.

So all good, just really busy. I'm glad that despite being busy I've managed to stay on track with my food. The only thing that I haven't liked is that I've gone hungry for a lot of the day. While I'm glad that I didn't eat something unhealthy or pre-packaged etc. I didn't like feeling so hungry. At the same time, I'm feeling kind of bloated - I don't know why. It's annoying. I wonder if it's just the stress that I've been feeling and the anxiety of my upcoming trip/presentation at the conference. I need to calm down and get back to my normal routine!
