Today was one of those that just wouldn't stop coming. I have a long list of things I didn't get done because other things required my attention. Long, long day. 6am-2pm & 4:30 to 10pm for intense weather coverage is a long day for me. Luckily, it's the exception, not the rule. I'm not complaining, I'm fortunate to have a job, one I enjoy and know how to do well. I'm just exhausted.
When it comes to maintaining the integrity of my maintenance calorie budget and remaining abstinent from refined sugar, there's no exceptions. It IS the rule, come what may--busy day--high stress--doesn't matter, those non-negotiable elements reside at the top of my priority list. I'm proud to write, I kept those promises to myself in the face of high stress--long hours and even while not being completely prepared food-wise.
I seriously didn't anticipate this long night. My plan was to finish up coverage, participate in the weekly Monday night exclusive support group I co-facilitate with Life Coach Gerri and Kathleen Miles, then prepare a nice dinner at home. In fact, until about 5:40pm, I was convinced I'd be on the group support conference call. I had to miss it tonight. I don't like missing the group call. Thanks to Gerri and Kathleen for covering.
Hitting the pillow.

Being close to burn out and tiredness are two of my worst triggers - but integrity wins out!
