Got a late start today and didn't take enough meals with me to work. My job doesn't afford me the luxury of taking an off site lunch break, so I just nibbled on the food I had all night. The funny thing is I felt more energetic than yesterday. I really ripped it out today! The Sun/Wed food prep thing has really helped out a lot. I missed Sunday and I have nothing prepped. I tried to plan on the run and failed. That's ok, I'll just have to get up a little ealier to make time to plan my meals for tonight. Tonight is a higher carb night so I'll get to eat a little more. By the way, I did not put my re-entry plans off. Sent in entry form and pics before work! We're going to try it again! Wish me success!

YAY packed lunches. Even though my job has an overall plan for the day, that can always change in the blink of an eye and I can find myself in a very rural area with nothing but a greasy spoon diner and cafeteria food. I have always been amazed at the unhealthy food options in hospital cafeterias. It seems they are trolling for business.....

Anyway, as usual my packed lunches saved me from horrible choices and I wanted to take a moment to celebrate that!

Food is right on track today. No work out today, but in an effort to lower stress and create balance I will have a no TV night and read instead. Perhaps even write a letter or two. I utilize all new technology, but have a love of old forms of communication and the tactile nature of a letter.

I've had a fantastic day today. Car started this morning which made my life so much easier. Then I was allowed by the inspector at work to leave an hour early so I hit the gym very early and could spend much time there without it becoming very late.

At the gym I was able to do not one but two cardio sessions. One before Strength and one after. Both more than 30 minutes with increased speed and and incline of 2 or 2.5. On the first one I even managed to do 3 intervals of kind of running for 30 seconds while holding the bars. That is major fo rme because I usually do not run and mastering running on the treadmill is one of my goals.
