Sept 9, 2010

I usually have an early start to my day, either on purpose or not on purpose. This morning I had to be up and ready at the hospital for a 7am meeting. I went to bed around 10 pm and woke up to my alarm at 430am. I had all intentions of going downstairs to the fitness center, but I just didn’t make it. I laid in bed and thought about a few things, and ended up falling back to sleep. I wasn’t really tired, but I ended up waking back up at 6am. Now this is weird, but anytime I’m in a hotel room, I usually get a king sized bed or a suite, so I often have lots of space. For this trip I also brought my Zumba dvds to play just in case I didn’t feel like going to the fitness center, so where, why and how I dropped the ball---I just can’t explain. As a result, while headed to the shower I passed a huge full length mirror---ironically I was sleeping in my workout clothes (tshirt and sweats) because I forgot to bring pajamas, so I stopped and did a few squats (3 sets of 15) before I headed to the bathroom. Not much but trust me I was feeling it though out the day.

As far as food, I did good today, for breakfast I had plain yogurt with peaches and granola in it, an almond sweet and salty bar, and a bottle of vitamin water. It held me over throughout the day, but I skipped lunch due to my workload. I decided to grab some food at the airport—and it ended up being popeyes…I know terrible decision, but I didn’t order any extra sides (not even a biscuit!), I ordered white pieces of meat, I didn’t eat the skin, and I had a coke zero with it. Although I was upset with myself, I was satisfied that I was able to make the healthier of the decisions. At the airport I also grabbed a sprite zero and some honey teddy grahams (I had a layover).
