This week has been a little off.  It’s a short week so I didn’t bother to do a full grocery shop, and I’ve been cobbling my lunches together from the salad bar in the cafe downstairs and protein bars. Today my lunch consisted of cherry yogurt, baked pita chips and a protein bar.  Who said processed foods aren’t good for you?  Heh.  I’ve also been taking a sort of break from working out this week.  Mostly a mental break, because I do spend a lot of time thinking about my workouts and then doing the workouts and then analyzing them afterwards.  Yesterday I couldn’t face the gym, so I just skipped it.  And yeah, I felt pretty shitty about it.  Which is what’s supposed to happen so that I actually want to go back.  I did go at lunch time today, but my workout was lame at best.  I feel good that I went, and guilty that I didn’t push myself, and glad that I didn’t work it very hard.  I’m a jumble of conflicting emotions!

At any rate, it’s time to forget all that.  Tomorrow morning I take off for Iowa to see a good friend of mine get married. Having been to Iowa only once before, in 1997, for about 24 hours, most of which I spent drunk, I’m looking forward to seeing the state again and actually forming an opinion.  And to see all my buddies, too.  And it’s 4th of July weekend so I’m sure I’ll be doing something for that.

Catch up with y’all on Monday. Happy 4th of July, folks!
