Double Whammy!

Today was a long day!  It was a bad night last night, long story.  Then work was crazy these last 2 days.  So, I almost enjoyed the thought of getting away and sitting in a meeting all day.  Not!  I had way to much to do, and didn't feel like sitting through the marathon meetings where you get bashed about things endlessly!

Normally I plan on these being marathon and will eat my snack just before I walk in the door.  Yes, early, but it ties me over.  And they normally have some salad or fruit that I can bite on during the meeting.  Today, was so bad. I was to busy to pack my snack, they offered no food.

So, the meeting that started at 8 and didn't let up until 1:30 or so was a long miss planned day.  It meant I skipped my snack, problem 1.  Then I missed my normal lunch break, problem 2.  This left me starving by the time I got the opportunity to go find food!  Then, as I was passing a McD's, I just couldn't take the rumbling in my tummy.   I was tired and grumpy on top of it.  I knew I had limited time to eat because I still has a long day ahead of me back at the office.  So, yes- McD's it was!  My meal included fries and a sweat tea on top of the not so healthy burger!

So, why do I mention this.  Its all tied together.  Missing a snack made me more hungry for lunch.  Getting no lunch compounded the problem.  So, when I was free from the bashing, I just wanted food.  That took away all rational thought of what should I eat!  Therefore, my choice was really bad!  I tell my story to let you know, that planning for long days, meetings by having a snack or protein bar in your bag is better then pushing through the day with nothing!  It just meant for me, that the 1 bad thing lead to another.  Thus, my double whammy!  Therefore, more Protein Bars will be packed into my briefcase and the next meeting I go to, I will eat in front of everyone!  Heck with them, I have a goal and an agenda!  That includes eating every 2-3 hours!
