Crazy Day, Crazy Me

Work was pretty intense today, but in a good way. I met with a ton of people and got a lot accomplished including some lunchtime errands I’ve been avoiding… but it didn’t leave me much time to exercise. I drank an ocean of water… 5 16.8oz bottles so far and will probably have another one before the day is over. I think I wore a path to the restroom.

The problem with food is that it’s there… in my fridge… about 5 feet from my desk. The other problem is that in order to not feel like a shut-in, I like to go “out” for lunch and reconnect with the world… over an inexpensive and expansive mexican lunch. This pattern + 6 years of working from home has not been kind to my physique!
