The return

So, back from our Pacific Northwest jaunt and I am just starting to feel "back to normal". My first full day back I felt like I was still in the air, nauseous, dizzy, head achy, etc. Slept like a rock, though and thought I was good. Last night I tossed and turned for hours. Just could not get to sleep.
Needless to say, I'm a little cranky today. If it wasn't Friday I would throw myself off a cliff. And I didn't even work all week!! Sheesh!
The scale has been confusing. It looked like I was up about a lb since we left, which I didn't think was terrible. I was on VACATION people! But, this morning I was up further... but I think it's a lack of water thing. That is one aspect I was NOT good at while away.
Something that struck me was my "urge" to eat crazy. I say "urge" because I thought about it, but I didn't crave it nor did I didn't do it. And it didn't bother me. I think I was in awe of the fact that it DIDN'T bother me! Did I eat perfectly on my plan? Um, no. I ate yummy food my sis in law made for us, and yummy food we bought out. I didn't count. I DID try and do high protein. I DID NOT go overboard, and I am super proud of that.
Another change on vaca was my activity level. We were on the go alot, and the hubs and I also walked at least a little everyday. It was nice to get moving, and I am hoping I can continue once I shake this crappy/yucky feeling I have and get a good night's sleep.
Just as I head out of my 12 hour day stint, because the UNH semester is over, I head back into a similar situation with the fruition of The Secret Garden. Elm City Theater Co and UNH and back in action, and this time, Anthony and I are going along for the ride. It's going to be fab - more details to come.
If anyone reading this (all, what, 3 of you?) are in the area (New Haven, CT) We are going to be doing a benefit concert next week. If you want details, let me know! It's going to be a great concert!
