Day 2 has been challenging because I have been going from one place to another and it's kinda hard to eat when you're on the go. I woke up at 9 after going to sleep at 1am. Yes...I got my 8hrs, but I need to change the time I actually start my 8hrs seeing that I have a couple of early morning work coming up. And one must have at least 8hr of sleep to get this weight off, right? Anyways, woke up at 9 and had a good breakfast around 9:30am. Afterwards, my plans was to leave the house around 10 or 1030 so that I can hit the gym by 11 and work out for an hour. Then I would have my salad at 1230 and head over to Berkeley by 1pm so that I can make my 2pm appointment. That was the plan. So, I placed my TJ Field Chopped Fresh Salad into my cooler bag with an ice pack ready to be eaten around noon-30, had I stuck with the "plan." So I was ready to leave the house around 10:30 when I decided that I needed to create a workout system for the gym. Yup...there's where the problem lies. I sat down to create this system, this tool which I would take with me onto the floor. So here I am feverishly writing out a workout plan when I looked at the clock and noticed it was 1pm. I was a bit behind schedule. I guess I could've ate my salad that has been sitting in my cooler bag, but without the workout, I was still full from my hearty breakfast. Seeing that I was a bit behind, I realized that I will not make it to Berkeley by 2 because it takes at least 30 mins to ride MUNI from my home to the Civic Center to catch the BART, and then another 45 mins on Bart to get to Berkeley. So I called a cab and took my salad with me to Berkeley with the intention of eating it after my appointment. So, 2pm comes and goes. It's now 3pm. I did not get a chance to eat my salad because I needed to rush back to the city so that I can hit the gym by 4pm so that I can work out for an hour. I was very hungry so I ended up eating a protein bar instead. A delicious Caramel Brownie Luna Bar. YUM. 8 grams of protein. Hopefully enough to get me through my workout. I figured I'd eat my salad after the gym when I am at my next destination. So, I get to the gym and there is a problem with my card. Also I needed to figure out how to get my weight verified by the gym so that I can participate in the challenges I have signed up for on HealthyWage.com. Nevertheless, 1/2 hour later, I am finally on the floor. I do 15 mins of cardio and then 45 mins of Bosu Ball activity. I put to good use my little workout system and learned that my “system” needed a bit of tweaking. Regardless, I think I had a good workout :) So, 530 rolls around and I realized that I needed to wrap up my workout and start prepping for my next event at 630, which is a writing session at a cafe. I was hoping to the get to the cafe a bit early so that I can eat my salad. Didn't happen. I got out of the gym at 6pm, as planned, and headed over to the bus stop. I mistakenly jumped onto the wrong bus. Jumped off and waited 10 mins for the correct bus. Then I got to my stop and started walking in the wrong direction towards my destination. When I realized I was going the wrong way, and started going in the right way, I had barely made it to my writing session which is where I sit now. My salad is still in my bag because I felt kinda strange to be eating my salad at a place that has food. I am new to this location and I didn't know what their policy was on outside food. So, I order their Veggie Sandwich which is fresh veggie, cheese, hummus, and whole wheat bread. My dinner is done and I think I may have to toss my salad seeing that it's no longer chilled. Could be a bit dangerous to eat my salad now. ALSO, it is currently 7:30. At the beginning of my weight loss journey, I had decided to not eat past 8pm and to be in bed by 10am. It has definitely been a challenging day...but it has given me something to work on as far as creating a diet plan for days like today.
