Weeds!

First let's recap since my last post.

Day 241, 242, 243 - Race Weekend. Good Times. Suspect Behavior.
Day 243 - Back at work. Tired and feeling every bit my age. 
Day 244 - 248 - Sick with a Sinus infection. Training new temporary employee. Exhausted.
Day 249 - Feeling Better
Day 250 - Music City BBQ Festival - A blast, but not my finest nutritional moment.

Day 251 - Back to reality again. Workout - check. Good eating - check.
Day 252 - Workout - Check. Good eating - Check.

And..... we're back.

Day 253,

Have you ever noticed how bad habits are like weeds -- easy to develop, spread like wild fire and are hard as hell to get rid of? I constantly find myself reverting back to old behaviors simply out of habit. I've backslid into drinking a lot of Diet Coke at the office instead of water. This has been partially enabled by the fact that our water filter at the office has been broken all week and tap water is all that's available. (Sue me.. I'm a water snob). But, we all know that's just an excuse. My lack of "hydration" is showing up on my skin too. My neck looks like I'm 14 and not in a good way!

Apart from my struggle with water intake and pre-pubescent acne, this week has been great so far. My at work stressor is out of the country. I have a new temporary employee who is helping me and is eager to do a good job. She asks a lot of questions, but that goes with the territory when you're training someone new. It's a four day work week for me, which will be followed by another four day week thanks to the holiday. AND .. I've managed two workouts in a row and plan to make it a trifecta after work today.

Yesterday I ate:
Bacon and Biscuit
Chicken Salad Sandwich on Toasted Wheat
Taco Ring (Pampered Chef Recipe)
Chocolate Molten Lava cake (a frozen dessert which BLEW!)

Too few calories, too much fat, not enough protein.
