More than I can chew?

I missed my workout this morning - mainly because something just had to give. It looks like I may have bitten off more than I can chew.

My Competing Priorities:
School
Internship
3-Day training
50n50
Boyfriend
Animals
Grown-up responsibilities (bills, car maintenance, house maintenance, etc.)
Social Interactions

I'm having a really hard time maintaining my energy every day. I spent months juggling and fitting everything on that list into my life. But it's not going well.

Last night I made the mistake of spending the evening out on the town (Sex and the City 2!!!) - my first real social interaction (besides Kevin) in weeks. I was practically catatonic by the time I got home - and I still had reading to do and things to pack and ready for today.

When the alarm went off this morning, I hit snooze 3 times! I usually only hit it once. I needed to race to the gym to fit 5 miles in, read for my first class, make breakfast and had to make a choice. But instead of hoping up and getting the day started - I laid in bed, struggling to find conscious thought. Eventually, I chose school over my training. I made breakfast, sat at my bar and read for my classes today.

I feel guilty - I was supposed to walk 5 miles this morning - but I know I made the right choice. Class was better and easier to follow because I was prepared and now I feel fine about taking on the work I have for this afternoon. Then, once I get off work, I'm hoping to at least squeeze 3 miles in around the neighborhood (If I can convince Kevin to go with me, it will cover two of my priorities!).

It took a short stroll between classes this morning, but I feel a bit better about things. I was just feeling momentarily overwhelmed. Sometimes, our priorities fight for our attention and, as much as we try, we can't make it all fit. Today is just one of those days.
