Feeling a bit tired

Well, my mom-in-law was here last night, which kept me from writing yesterday - so I'll give an update.  I always enjoy the time spent with family, so its wonderful, just doesn't always work with my journey.  Still a great night either way :).

Yesterday had some highs and some lows.  Highs - I pretty much cleaned out my entire classroom, and I'm ready to move into my new office.  I was moving so much, I hit my 10,000 step goal by 1:00.  I had lunch with my bestie afterwards... we went to Panera where I had 1/2 a turkey BLT sandwich, and 1/2 a Cesar salad.  I was doing great.  

Then, I had dinner at an Austrian restaurant downtown Campbell.  I would say this is where I fell off the healthy-eating wagon.  I didn't a whole lot of anything, but I know everything I ate wasn't too great for me.  I thought I did fairly well when I only took a bite of the apple strudel - but my hubby's momma gave me some of my favorite cookies, and now I've eaten a couple of those - last night, and today.  I'm just going to have my hubby take them to work with him tomorrow.   

Anyhow, right now - my body is absolutely exhausted.  I'm going to head out for a short run in a bit - but my body is literally dragging.  I'm sure it has to do with the cookies I ate today or the fact I really haven't had a day off from working out in a long while. The run today is going to be difficult, as my running route at home (hometown-Stockton) was the scene of a tragic ending of bank robbery yesterday.  A mother was simply getting cash out of the bank, left her daughter in the car (12 years old), and the bank robbers took the mother and two other women hostage, driving through town - ending in a massive shootout, where she was tragically killed.  To think a place that once brought me such serenity is suddenly a terrible crime scene, just pains my heart.  It pains my heart that a daughter now has to live without her mom... just not a fair world we live in.

As for my weekend, we have a wedding to go to tomorrow night, and wine tasting in Napa the day afterwards.  I'm finding it hard to be excited about these kind of events when all I worry about is food, what I'm putting in my body, if I'm getting enough exercise, etc.  How do I combat that? I'll be going to boot camp in the morning on both days, but I still feel so guilty if I don't eat well.  

Any help from anybody reading out there, I will gladly take!  This is where I feel I always fall off the wagon.  When life happens, and I don't want to be "that girl", but I want to treat my body the way it deserves to be treated.  At this point, I know I need to put myself first for awhile, but I do struggle in social settings.  So any tidbits of advice would be great help!  Until this weekend... 

Update before I head to sleep:  I actually took the night off from running, got some work done instead. I honestly think my body just thanked me for that, because I'm ready to head to sleep and head to bootcamp in the morning, I'll get my run in before or after that instead. Much better place now! Sometimes rest is all you need I guess. :)
