I was losing weight prior to Denver so I could promptly eat everything covered in green chile while I was there. It has come to my attention that some of you think green chile is gross, to which I say: more for me. So much, in fact, that for about three days after returning, I looked like I was approaching my second trimester of being pregnant with a burrito. It did not help that Cinco de Mayo happened on Saturday.
ANYWAY, today was the day to get back on track, and it was also my first day of teleworking! Thanks to all of my teleworking peeps who advised me to:
By 9:30 a.m. I realized that I had accomplished more work than I usually do in a business day. Ahhhh, blissful silence and sunshine! Also my new coworkers (the cats) were very sweet and did not ask me any questions about benefits or time cards.
Breakfast was lox & cream cheese on pumpernickel. I have a habit of having morning coffee with the CFO (after I yell down the hallway "Richard! Coffee!") so I texted Richard a picture of my coffee and we exchanged texts.
For lunch I walked to the grocery store to pick up some strawberries and grab a cold brew. Then I let skinny cauliflower mac & cheese cook while I worked out--today was arms and abs. Lunch was the aforementioned cauliflower macaroni and some low sodium ham.
Snack was the cold brew, plus I took a work call while going for a walk. Note to self: get a bluetooth earpiece.
Dinner was shrimp, asparagus, and a tomato/basil/olive salad.
Because I'm not commuting and/or looking for a dress, hose, and shoes for a half hour, and/or going back inside to retrieve the keys, water bottle, and computer I forgot, I have at least another hour in my day. So I think I'm going to read a book and do some yoga! (We'll see if I still think teleworking is this magical a month from now.)
Today deserves a total Kate. A Kate in a ballgown.
ANYWAY, today was the day to get back on track, and it was also my first day of teleworking! Thanks to all of my teleworking peeps who advised me to:
- Get out of bed
- Take a shower
- Wear Not Pajamas
- Sit at a desk
- Take breaks, especially go walk or exercise
- Talk to other humans
