Yesterday was off to a fantabulous start. I got up early to go water the garden and made it to work on time. I ate a healthy, low-calorie breakfast and lunch, but by midafternoon, I was ready to crash. I knew I would be staying late at work (I ended up working for 10 hours, plus I had Toastmasters at lunch, so it was an 11-hour day), and I was having a hard time concentrating. So I decided to just buy a soda. It probably would have been fine, but when I went to talk to my structural engineer, I spotted a piece of a cupcake on his desk, and since I absolutely can't resist chocolate cake, I ended up eating half of a ridiculously large chocolate cupcake as well. Then I went running in the evening, and only put in about 1.5 miles, which I had to walk almost half of. Pathetic!
Today was much better. I made it to the garden and to work on time again, then ate my small, healthy breakfast. I was in meetings for the entire morning, which kept me from snacking, then I had soup and whole wheat bread for lunch. After working late again, I found the energy to go for a 16.5-mile bike ride. I was hoping to ride farther, but at around mile 8.5, another cyclist passed me and said it was really windy on the ride back into town, so I decided to turn around right away rather than risk being tired and/or running out of daylight on the ride back (I ride a slightly longer trail out, so the ride back seems a bit nicer). After a sensible dinner, I feel great! So perhaps it's time for a (separate) gratefulness post...
