Last week was a little bit of a bust. My cold got worse and the week went on and I fought sinus headaches and muscle aches I am pretty sure were due to stress. Between Rob and I, we had the congregational meeting, double basketball, youth group/Family Night, child care training, the GEMS auction on top of everything else. I was fatigued by Sunday afternoon. Exhausting. I know for some moms this is their lives and they function like this on a regular basis. I don't do well in that kind of state. It hit the kids too at various degrees at different times. We had a couple of bad afternoons or mornings. I am glad I went to Power on Tuesday and after that I took the whole week off from exercise. I think I would have been functioning even worse had I not. The weather did not help at all either. Today is the first sun I think we have seen in 8 days. Mornings and afternoons have been dark and dreary. If you did not know the time, you would have thought it was 5 PM.
So this week has been more manageable and doable. Everyone seems to be in a bit better state of mind and mood. I did run Monday morning with Tracy. I had to cut my run short. It was a little less than four miles. There was too much rain and flooding. Yesterday morning I went to Power. It was a great workout. Today I swam a little less than a mile with Tracy and Erica.
I also counted calories this week and chose healthier eating options. I feel better. I think I mostly feel better due to a lighter schedule this week.
