Day 7 – This is tough!
Well I’ve got to tell you. This is a tough road.
Today I started out great with a V8, a couple vitamins, and my favorite drink.. a diet pepsi.
I was bill collecting and dealing with some outstanding issues with clients, so the stress was getting up a little bit.
Finally I decided to head out to a client’s location, about a 25 minute drive.
I stopped in at a convenience store (not an awesome QuikTrip) hoping for some good nutrition. Nothing!
No fresh food, no fresh sandwiches, nothing.
Ugh… I caved… I was “starving” and as I just sat there in the McDonald’s drive through.. having no clue what to order… I gave up. (for the moment!)
Finally, I just ordered from habit. #3 with a diet dr. pepper.
Yuck! 4 fries into it, I tossed those. I downed the burger, but then I felt like a putz.
A burger isn’t going to kill my diet, believe me I’ve had worse. But if you’re gonna splurge on something like that you should at least get something that taste good!
Tonight I’ve had raw vegies w/ranch, dried plums, and saltine crackers with Tuna and hot pepper relish!
But… I noticed something that was VERY different than when I was overworking myself running a company. I have food in my refrigerator! Oh it’s not much… some apples, oranges, V8’s, slimfast, 2% skim milk, etc… but hey, it’s something!
