Should've Seen This Coming

March 23, 2020 - 192 - "Stress Eating"

 

My Kingdom For A Donut!   

     Oh my Lord.  All I wanted for the past week or so is carbs and sugar, sugar and carbs!  

     For the most part, at home, I am resisting the urge.

     However, on my work trips I've been eating way above my normal servings of C R A P.  (I don't guess I have to specify "work" trips these days. There's no such thing as a "fun" trip...not even to the local store.).

All's Quiet on the Flying Front

     After a blissful couple of weeks pretending to be a lady of leisure in Mexico,  I came home yesterday.  I unpacked,  I repacked and went back to work today.  

     I had no idea what to expect.  Mainly it was just another day at the office...except for that pesky pandemic lurking around every corner.  

     Chicago O'Hare, on a Friday afternoon, in spring break season...was pretty much a ghost town.  I sent a video to Michael to show him that I, quite literally, heard crickets chirping in the concourse.  

Quiet, But Weird

March 12, 2020 - 181 - "Oh yeah, I Recognize This Life Lesson! ...AGAIN!"

 
     For the past couple of weeks I've had such a hard time doing my workouts.   I've done them, but not without an outrageous amount of mental and physical effort. 

     I dreaded them beforehand, put them off until as late in the day as possible, gasped and groaned my way through them, and grumbled about them afterwards.


    And every day I thought:  Huh.  Wonder why these seem so hard lately?

    Maybe it's just a low-energy day.  Maybe it's the higher altitude in San Miguel.  Maybe there's a lot of pollen in the air and I'm not getting as much oxygen as I need.  Maybe I didn't sleep as well as I thought last night.  Maybe I have Corona virus.  Maybe it's this particular workout.....
