Today was a quiet day. I said "see you later" to my contractor, and will go to a different project for a few weeks. The guys were sweet - they said they'd miss me and hurry back! I have worked with this contractor for the past 22 years, off and on, different groups - they are a great bunch! Seriously, I met the foreman before I was even married! I am a hometown gal, however big city my hometown is!
There is only junk food down there at the new job - I have to get some sub choices, etc. to keep myself on track! Better opportunities to walk though.
I am leaning toward the vegetarianism that is running rampant on here these days - except I haven't resisted the chicken legs! I read that being a vegetarian reduces your carbon footprint more than buying a Prius would. So, maybe I'll go semi-vegetarian, you know, only meat once a day or so.
I do have to drink more water, because I woke up thirsty in the middle of the night!
So much to do, so little time!

And I know you'll get it all done! Oh speaking of water. I just read an article today saying there is no scientific proof that we need 8 glasses of water. I think it was on the front page of Yahoo. Check it out! It was interesting.

Well if you do decided to try being meatless for while I hope you can do better than me. I haven't eaten any meat since Monday but everytime someone has a sub or there's a commercial about steaks on sale, its almost like I'm being drawn in or something lol. All I can really say is the more the merrier so on if you want.

Maybe if I focus and have my food delivered to my basement office I can go meatless! Let's see how it goes, thanks for the encouragement Cathy and Splendid!

Can you pack your own food when on the road? Bring a cooler with you. Also, the thing about the 8 glasses of water a day - yeah, its a total crock - I heard that the French made it up to sell more bottled water!!! LOL

I do drink tap water. I studied civil engineering and I trust the American water delivery system! Not good with making lunch, but maybe when the hubster moves out, I'll sign up for Nutrisystem.

The quasi-vegetarian step is a brave one on your part. i realized one day this summer that my husband and I are real carnivores! Since that time we have made a deliberate move to eat less RED meat. Neither of us care for the taste of chicken and fish so much. Therefore - in the end - we eat LESS meat all the way around. I find meatless meals just AS filling and MUCH easier on the digestive system! So you basically have a new job now? That's cool! Nice shift! the jury is out with me about the water! I just plain old FEEL BETTER when I have lots of water! Keep the faith!
