Week three: out of sync

With my late week three post, you can tell I'm out of sync. I've tried my first day of traveling and boy that was an eyeopener. Thank goodness I brought a bag of fruit and veggies with me.

As I'm allergic to lettuce (I know its mostly water!) and don't eat meat, it's really hard to eat in airports especially when not eating carbs, so the salad I made and all the fruit I brought meant I was totally sorted (and I could use up all the food in the fridge so it didn't go bad) I didn't bring enough protein so had to go searching for it.

Now I understand economy and how people want to save by buying in bulk but com'on. I'm in an airport. Even the "healthy" snacks only came in a bag with four servings. I just need one thank you. I finally found a Starbucks with one portion nut packs. Next time I'll remember to pack my own.

Broken routine

Being away, my whole routine is off especially as I'm in a different time zone. I'm finding it hard to put the full amount of time in that I need for my exercise so I have to find a way to balance that time.

It's especially important for me to think about routine as I start a new job in a week. I know this is going to be exciting and stressful so I have to give myself time to prep my food and plan my workouts before leaping into a new world of work. So much to think about!

I did get out there and run on Friday - first time in 10 days because my knee was hurting. Still a bit sore but it felt fine after I ran 20 minutes. Glad to be back in the saddle with that so I can get back to prepping for my marathon.

Food wise I'm doing good but I need to start thinking about mixing it up. I end up eating a lot of the same things for convenience but don't want that to stop me from eating right.

Yep. Week 3 is a bit more challenging but I'm still hanging in there. 30 days to form a habit I've heard so I'm nearly there.

PS my mom showed me this weight modeling and helped me make some models of me. There's "me" on day one, the second one is me now 11.5 pounds lighter (if my mom's scale is to be trusted, I'm down another 3 pounds) and then the last one is where I'll be at goal weight. A nice way to see what you're aiming for.
