Good Saturday morning! I finally had a normal night of sleep, after waking up in the middle of the night all week. I really needed it as I was feeling completely exhausted and running on empty.

That means that I did not exercise all week, I struggled with eating on plan and I did not even walk the past three days. I’ve usually pushed past tiredness, but I just couldn’t this week, it was overwhelming.

The fact that my father wasn’t feeling well added to the stress that is wearing me down. He mentioned that since Monday, he has been struggling to remember certain names and phone numbers. But he thinks it will all come back on its own and he likely won’t see a doctor, because he doesn’t trust them most of the time. I think it’s time to have a conversation about getting a protection mandate for him, so that my brother and I can protect him when he can’t make decisions for himself anymore. It’s convincing my dad that will be difficult.

I’ll be taking it easy today and take things as they come. If a walk happens, great. If I do some housecleaning, good. If I muster enough energy for a workout, I’ll be happy. But if all I do is rest, I’ll be ok with it.

What are your plans for today and this weekend? I hope you’ll have some good energy and enjoy a wonderful day 🙂
