Feel like the weight of the world is on my shoulders

The last 3 days have been very intense CrossFit workouts, and my body is feeling the burn.  My shoulders are so sore I can barely pick up my two year old, and my 5 year old has to help me pick him up by jumping.  We have been doing great workouts that have made me stronger, and hopefully the soreness will go away soon.

I have 1 week to practice for my first golf tournament of the year.  My overall ball striking is fairly accurate, and as long as I don't over read my putts I should be ok.  I would like to qualify because it means I finally didn't let the pressure get to me.  I also would like to put up a good showing because my ultimate goal is to try and qualify for the usopen.  I have played Olympic Club before, but I have never played in the biggest tournament in golf.

On top of being sore, preparing for my first golf tournament of 2012, and work commitments (which are many), I am also struggling mightily with my diet.  I haven't had booze in 2+ months, but my bad eating habits have resurfaced.  I have had the far too often occasional coke.  I have had cookies and deserts.  I have had a carb heavy meal.  The only thing in the last 6 weeks I have stuck with is consistently making it to workouts.  If I can continue this, work on appetite suppression/will power, and keep practicing my golf game, I can hopefully reach my goals sooner rather than later.
