A long week for a Tuesday.

This week has been incredibly long already. Yesterday I was able to go in to work late, but I also had to work late, so I got up early and hit the gym. I swam. I am not a good swimmer, but it is a good work out, especially when your muscles are a little tight.

Yesterday was very stressful at work. We had a deadline we had to meet and trying to get everyone else to work on your deadline is definitely a challenge. We also had an event at LA Fitness in the evening. It was over about 7:30. By the time I got home, I wasn't motivated to do much. I did work a little on my Pampered Chef stuff, but there is so much information to go over.

Today was just an all around hard day. I was trying to play catch up from all the things I had to put off yesterday, and then we had an event and meeting right in the middle of the day, and then my computer crashed, which luckily my files are backed up, but I may have lost my e-mails which are incredibly important.

After work I went to the gym. I thought it might help me calm down, and it did, at least a little bit. When I got home, Alex had started dinner. He grilled a steak, which we shared. I made farmer's market green beans, and a microwave package of Uncle Ben's Brown and Wild Rice. Overall, it was a yummy and healthy dinner.

After dinner, we played a game of Set. If you've never heard of it, you can check it out here. It's a really fun card game that works your brain. It takes a while to get the hang of it and learn the rules, but it's fun anyway.

So, I'm looking forward to the rest of my week. I hope that it gets a little less stressful. Tomorrow I have my second meeting with my Wellness Coach at the YMCA. I've already planned on making homemade chicken and noodles tomorrow night for dinner, so I will have the chicken in the Crock Pot all day.

Thursday I have an appointment with a masseuse. I'm not sure if it's the stress, or if I actually strained a muscle, but my back has been killing me lately. I figure I better try to work out before it gets too much worse. It's a lot of money, but hopefully it will be worth it.

For now, I'm going to put a heating pad on it and get a good night's sleep.
