I followed up a big win with a narrow victory.  Yesterday was tough for me – as I went into the office.  I managed to commute with no traffic, so I was only spending probably 1 hr 40 min in transit round trip – and I am good at using the drive in to relax and the drive home to call people.  But, that means I lose time I would normally have and I get up early – so I started off with only 6.5hrs of sleep or so.  But, considering I didn’t work out, I kept it a fairly healthy day.

The details:

Eating:  I had my meals for breakfast & dinner: bagel & cream cheese with a small yogurt drink.  Dinner was some pasta, a spicy meat sauce, sugar snap peas, and some carrots.   I also had one of the mult-grain rolls that came with the meal.  I also had some cheese and crackers that came with the meals – I am certain this all added up to me eating too much… and, then, at lunch, I cheated some:  I had pho.  Which is AWESOME – but I ate the whole bowl.  I probably should have left some of the noodles or something… and the broth seemed extra fatty.  But it was SOO good.   So, while I avoided snacks, this was a bad portion control day.

Drinking (water, that is).  Water is clearly my nemesis.  I actually had 3 glasses – so I am building it into my day better than before.  But I didn’t want to cheat this time and get the 4^th in late.  So, I’m taking the loss.

Working out:  the trip into the office makes it hard.  And I stayed late.  I need to get back into the habit I once had of bringing workout clothes with me and going to the gym.

Overall – not a great day, but not a bad day.   I think I’m like a QB in football that used to always aspire for the big play – but would throw a lot of picks and take a lot of sacks.  I may not be scoring TDs right now, but I’m avoiding the picks and the sacks for the most part.
