Welp, so much for getting back to my Wednesday posts.
At the gym this morning, it hit me… I totally forgot to post yesterday. I blame the Monday holiday. I haven’t even wrapped my head around my new weekly schedule, but since we kick off the semester before Labor Day, I need to adjust it again in the second week.
I’m also testing lifts at the end of a 12-week training cycle. And The Husband and I are still figuring out how to get Ev to school since he’s in a magnet program and the bus doesn’t pick him up near the house.
So, it just feels like a lot of adjusting… everywhere.
A friend texted me this morning and said, “I know you’re busy,” but here’s the thing… I’m not. I don’t feel exceptionally busy.
I just feel drained.
Emotionally drained.
Spent.
Tired.
Slow.
To top things off, I just realized it’s back-to-school night. ugh. So I’ve got to head back out when all I really want to do is take a bath and go to bed, but I really want to meet Ev’s high school teachers.
Before I head out, I’ll just update my goals real quick and leave you with this picture of my best loaf of sourdough yet!
That’s the inside of the loaf I shared above. I’ve been bringing sandwiches to work all week with this baby!
