Day Thirty-one

1/27/2010

My thought on today is that if I can keep up with this diet and the hard choices I must make, on my type of crazy schedule, than NO ONE has a really legitimate excuse to not choose health. I am not on my high horse here because I know that for the past 32 years I have never mentally been able to stick with it but this time something is different and I hope everyone reaches the point I have where they realize, "yes, I can" and "yes, I will".
Up at 5 am this morning and downed 16 oz of water and 2 cups of coffee which probably cancels out the water but at least I feel a little more hydrated. The dehydrating effects of yesterday were lingering with me as I woke this morning. I didn't have time to stop in the lobby for a nice breakfast which would have been lovely because I need to be in Springfield MO by late morning (a 5 hour drive). So, about 1 hour into my drive, I flew through McD and grabbed sausage egg muffins (threw out the muffins which had most of the fake cheese) and 2 bottles of water. I arrived in Springfield nearing 11 am and ran straight to the facility to start work (chart audits due by close of today). I made all my deadlines today as well as 2 conference calls but my eating was poor. I managed some chicken buffalo jerky and peanuts and I did keep the water flowing. I feel fine, but again, I am worried about the vegetable component. I flew through a drive through for some bunless Angus burgers with Swiss and mushrooms (yum). The hotel was over 20 minutes away and I am so tired I think I will go to bed now...Good night!
