Day 22

I can feel the lack of sleep this morning. And I'm kicking myself that I didn't pack any pre-workout to give me that boost. Uggggh. I get dressed and then head off to find the gym. Its like the size of my bedroom with two treadmills, an elliptical, weights, a bench, and I think a bike was in the corner as well. I head straight for the treadmill. After the first 10 minutes, I find my groove and complete a 3 mile run.

I get dressed and then meet my coworkers. Dunkin donuts was for breakfast so I got an egg white flatbread and small French vanilla coffee. I'm feeling good about my workout and healthy breakfast.

Then we get into our day of meetings. It was insane. The Novartis campus is 22 buildings huge and of course our meetings are scattered all over. My coworker scheduled them one right after another so we rushed and were late to everything. It seriously was like herding cats all day on top of listening to people complain about the process on top of all these requests on top of crisis situations blowing up while I was away.

I don't think we sat done for lunch till 1. I'm dying, irritable and dehydrated at this point. I had soup and a salad and lots of water, which I had to shovel in quickly before the next meeting. As I start to hear about the schedule for the next two days I realize that my coworker doesn't plan time for us to eat because she doesn't eat. Just freaking wonderful. I can either over eat or starve. God can this week be any harder???

We finish the day at 5, run to the grocery store, and then at the hotel we have a wrap up presentation to do on the day. So as we are working, my coworker pulls out mini kitkats, candy, and pretzel chips. I had dinner plans with an old friend so I figure a small serving won't hurt because again, I'm starving. Well you know how it is when you don't pay attention to your snacking. I ate way more kitkats than I intended :(

We finished and then it was off to meet my friend. We went to Chili's, so I opted for a small steak, broccoli, and mashed potatoes. My food was terrible so I ate about half and then had two beers. We went bowling and I limited myself to one cocktail since I had an early morning ahead. We talked forever. It was 1am before I went to bed and I knew I was going to need a shit ton of coffee to get through Tuesday.
