Feeling incredibly stressed. Huge deliverable due tomorrow for work which I have to finish while traveling to Chicago. Lots of meetings in Chicago, which will be good but the timing could be better. None of this is the challenge, the challenge comes this weekend. I have camp...band camp. For the previous camps, we have been in the corps hall which had a fridge and a kitchen, so I'd shop at the health food store in advance and then eat from my food stash over the weekend. Well this weekend, we're in a park...all weekend. I'm staying at a hotel without a fridge. People are meant to have fast food for each meal which we all know isn't good for a bandster. This is just adding to my stress. BUT fear not my friends. I have a plan. I'll have a car, so I plan on getting one of those cheap styrofoam coolers at the store and then getting my normal food (hummus, veggies, fruit, cheese, protein bars) and just refilling the cooler with ice each morning (and afternoon if I need to). Hopefully this will work!!
Band is still tight. Got stuck on a protein bar this morning and on a burger patty tonight at dinner. BAD BAND!! I'm feeling fine, I think it's all probably stress related! I've had horrible headaches every day this week (ha...it's only Tuesday) which I also attribute to stress. I just need to take a couple of deep breaths and all will be fine!!
Hope you are all doing well. xoxo
