When I woke up this morning, I had this feeling that today was going to be my most challenging day. I got up and got the kids dressed, and got them off to school. I was suppose to meet with the trainer after lunch, so I headed straight to work and started to dig through the pile of paperwork. Now, I knew my day was going to be interesting when I left my lunch in the fridge and I forgot to grab my Myoplex RTD shake for breakfast.
My husband came into my office and said that I needed to help him get this brochure together for this business networking group that he belongs to. He didn't tell me that whether it needed to be done right away or not, but I got started on it right away. After a while, I looked at the clock and it was already 11:30 am. WHAT THE....... How did I let the morning get by me, and how did I miss my breakfast. I rushed into the break room and grabbed the bag of granola that I bought for the office, and started munching on it. I needed to get something in my stomach, especially since I was going to get an intense workout with Renee at 1:30 pm.
I was really frustrated with myself. I have really tried to focus on changing my bad habits (i.e.- not eating breakfast, skipping meals) and putting everybody else before me. And that is what I did. Everyone was coming to me, wanting this and that, and instead of telling them, "Hold on. I need something from me," and get something to eat, or taking a break from everything. I let it happen again, and it overcame me. I felt overwhelmed, frustrated, irritated and I was sick of it.
By this time, it was 1:15 pm and I left the office frustrated and irritated. I met Renee and the gym, and told her what was going on and how I was so mad that I let it take over, but she reminded me that even though I didn't eat, that I recognized what I did wrong, and that how I cannot let other people distract me on what I need to do. The saying that I always tell myself to not get overwhelmed by other people's lack of planning & responsibility is: "A sense of urgency on your part does not constitute a sense of urgency on mine." I need to remember that. I need to put that up at my desk.
The rest of the day, after my killer workout, was to get back on track on eating, and not let it deter me from the rest of the day.
