went to a wedding last night and spent the last two nights in a hotel. i did okay but ate some foods i haven't had in a while and definitely overdid it on sugar, etc. but nothing too awful... tried to log the mornings/afternoons but the evenings were a little more difficult.

at least i worked out as i normally would have. i found a gold's gym and went to a spin class yesterday morning. that was really nice and i loved the change of scenery. today i ran my 4 mile training run when i got home... felt really sluggish and struggled with my breathing.

i am so exhausted and i work tomorrow 6am to 4pm. it's going to be a long one... i still need to get a few things at the grocery store then i am home and chillaxin'. of course, ed and i haven't "connected" and i feel bad about this... like i need to give more time to our relationship. it's hard because we have to travel every weekend this month pretty much and for the last 4 weeks i have had intense grad classes, etc.

so much to juggle....

i feel so icky from the "bad" eats. not that it was all that bad, just different and i think my nutritional balance is off. i can feel it. my gut is begging for mercy. and i feel more tired and sluggish than normal.

i am not necessarily worried about "gaining" because i feel confident that even if i am up a pound or two, it is most likely sodium or water retention and that is part of the cycle of life and weekend getaways. but i kind of can't wait to get back into a real routine... shhh, don't tell anyone, but i do better when i am TEACHING and it's not the summer.

in other news... the wedding was a blast. it was nice to see friends that i haven't seen in forever. our hotel stay was a different story. they charged our debit card over 700 dollars trying to correct what they charged us the first time (which was more than our quoted price). what a nightmare. and, the people in the room above us were making so much noise all night. even after we complained, the noises and stomping continued until 5am. UGH.

can't wait for a good night's sleep in my own bed, and better nutrition. not sure what to eat to make me feel better. just had some oatmeal with blueberries, and i am munching on carrots and nectarines now.

shoreline news: how on earth am i going to run 6 miles wednesday when 4 miles was so tough today?!?!?

i'm off to the store for some fresh produce and yogurt. have a great week everyone!
