Redefining tired

I work in an I.T. department and we had a huge go-live this past weekend. We were upgrading an application and moving it to new servers -- which were needed VERY much. Of course, nothing can happen until the databases are moved, so I was at the office Saturday night at 10:30 pm until 7:30 am on Sunday morning. I am really getting to old for that kind of thing.

The consultants doing the upgrade made a goof during the day on Sunday, so I ended up working from home too for a good chunk of Sunday -- until 7:30 pm. Really too old for this.

I made it in fine on Monday and was handling the typical post-go-live stuff. Even managed to do ok Tuesday -- including puppy kindergarten after work! But I have to admit that I'm dragging a bit today. I did work out this morning and walked at lunch. But that usually energizes me. No so much today. Did I mention that I'm getting to old for this?

But, in spite of being tired, I have managed to eat well for a couple of days. It's hard again to not snack. But reading my old blog entries from 2010 when I lost the weight, got me going again. I have to put this last year behind me emotionally and get back to taking better care of myself. A journey of a thousand miles starts with a single step. Corny, but true.
