Don't think I forgot about you! Sometimes HR Ladies just need a night off from blogging. That said, yesterday was a little taxing, but I made the best of it. One of the healthy things that I normally do really well is get enough sleep. Notsomuch Tuesday night. So with about 4-ish hours of sleep, I got up and had...
Breakfast
I knew I had a tough meeting first thing with someone who is, let's say, prone to screaming? Anyway, the meeting included both yelling and throwing things. (But HR Lady stayed calm. Good thing she had coffee. And look, you can throw your termination paperwork at your manager, but that doesn't change anything.)
After that, things were relatively uneventful.
- Coffee with lots of 1% milk (100)

Then I taught an after-hours leadership class called "Hide Your Goat: No More Drama Llamas!" based in part on the book Hide Your Goat: Strategies to Stay Positive When Negativity Surrounds You. It's a good, quick read if you need a dose of reality and/or positivity.
Then I really, really, really wanted a burger and fries, but instead I came home and made a healthy-ish dinner.
Dinner
Total calories 1230 vs. 1400 goal.
Exercise? No, straight to bed. We'll give it a cold-weather Sophie.
Today, I had more coffee. This time at Starbucks, but again, another employee meeting. But there were no projectiles at this one. ;)
Breakfast
Lunch
Snack
Dinner
Again, I really wanted barbecue, or Chipotle, or something. But I did not do that!
Total: 1190 vs. 1400 calories
Exercise: 35 minutes on the bike, 50 crunches
In conclusion, cold weather Kate!
Sorry if I'm not very interesting today, but hopefully I at least inspired you to do a sit up or eat something healthy. See ya tomorrow!
