Reflections

Yesterday afternoon threw me for a loop. My father (with whom I have a very difficult and hostile relationship) was in town for a meeting and called wanting to drop by for tea. So rather than relaxing after a difficult week (where the guy learned that he didn't get the great job he had interviewed for which would have totally saved our impoverished bacon, and where he then learned that his mother is terminally ill) instead I spent the afternoon cleaning and baking up a healthy apple tart for us to eat. And stressing about the horrible things he would say to me. And not being mindful of what I was eating. Well, his meeting ran late and rather than coming over, he just dropped off two huge bags of unhealthy Polish food.

And then we went to a friend's for dinner, where he cooked up an amazing Italian feast and where I ate until it hurt. And then this morning I skipped my bike ride (because I was exhausted) and ate the aforementioned Polish food.

An inauspicious end to my week. But I made myself a veggie heavy afternoon snack (homemade pico de gallo--yum!) and am getting back on track. It's taco salad for dinner. And I start boot camp on Tuesday.

I hope the coming week is better. On all levels.
