Today’s Totals - Nov 28th, 2008
I have to admit something tonight. I’m feeling very burnt out on the diet stuff. Don’t get me wrong, I’m still on plan, but I can’t put my finger on exactly what I’m feeling. I think it’s just the feeling like I’ll never be done. I think I’m just having a hard time staying on track, and making excuses for that. Ack, I don’t know.
Anyway, after all of our preparations, we didn’t end up presenting today for Communications. Basically three groups go each day, and we should have (as #6) but one of the guys from the seventh group was telling the teacher that he couldn’t be there next Tuesday. I got the impression that the teacher didn’t want to push them off until Friday (our last day of class) so we agreed to go first on Tuesday. To be fair I’d rather go first on Tuesday than last on a Friday afternoon. Although part of me would really just like to get it over.
So, on tap this weekend… school work. Gosh, my life is so interesting. I’ve got Metrology to get ready to hand in Monday (along with an in class test). I have an AutoCAD in class final as well on Monday, but don’t need to do any prep for that (although I might look at my template). I will also finish up my extra credit proposal for Communications… and then maybe tackle some other work (Math, Mfg Processes, and perhaps clean my desk).
Food for the day:
Total: 1993 (14% fat, 42% carbs, 32% protein, 8% alcohol)
Breakfast: protein shake with oatmeal and sour cherries (343)
AM Snack: fruit & nut square (98)
Lunch: whole wheat tortillas, mustard, smoked turkey, apple (424)
PM Snack: fruit & nut squares, jack daniels (260)
Dinner: meat sauce, whole wheat spaghetti, parmesan cheese, salad w/dressing (637)
Late Snack: protein shake, fruit salad (231)
Wow I have those days when I feel burnt out and like I’m never ever gonna finish but for some reason I’m surprised whenever anyone else does! Please hang in there, you are one incredibly strong-and-together woman. I read every day how you’re handling house and home and food preparation and yard work and now school work on top of all that other stuff…
…no freakin’ wonder you’re feeling burnt out!
Take a break, pamper yourself. Take deep breaths and count life’s blessings. Do whatever you do to feed your soul (for me it’s to sit by the water).
Be good to you!
I’ve been kind of talking it out on another board where I post, and I think I’ve come to a compromise. I will do another week on plan and then take a maintenance week during exams (which I’d planned on). The slight modification is that I will continue to lift, and maybe throw in some cardio for stress relief. It might actually be nice to lift when not on a deficit!
I’m not going to plan, but I will track. That’s also difference from other maintenance weeks, where I usually plan what I’m going to eat.
