Thursday and Friday

Thursday was very busy. Of course, I started my day right with my protein shake and some Mighty Tasty cereal. I had 2 clients in the morning before kickboxing and then I got to meet a former client for lunch.  It's always fun to catch up with people who I haven't seen for awhile.  We met at ModMarket and I had a spinach salad with chicken added - need my protein, you know.  In the afternoon, in between clients, I ate a half of a sandwich with some of the turkey salad I made.  And I added an orange.
After kickboxing, though, I didn't eat very well.  I took the last few pieces of my olive bread and dipped in the baba ghanoush that I made and drank a glass of wine.  That was it.  Not a well-balanced meal.  It didn't have enough protein.  I think I was just tired, and Jim had to cover a basketball game, so he wasn't home until after 10pm.  Oh well.  There are meals like that.  At least it wasn't a whole day that went bad.

Friday started with SMDRA.  I always laugh at those meetings . . . and laughter is an important part of being healthy, too!  I also look forward to catching up with the members that I've gotten to know over the course of the last year.  Good people . . . good friends.  When I walked into the meeting at 7:30, it was sunny.  When I walked out at 8:30, it was snowing!  Ah, Denver. And then a run of 4 appointments. It would have been 5, but one of my clients got to spend the day with her mom and she gave me plenty of notice that she was not going to make her regular appointment.   So, I had the opportunity to go home and participate in my Beyond Better teleconference from there.  I still had one more appointment at 5pm after the teleconference, but it was nice to be home for awhile.  No time to do any workouts today, however.  Food was a challenge because of the timing, but I started well with my protein shake and some oatmeal - Bob's Red Mill Organic Extra Thick Rolled Oats.  I put a little bit of butter and brown sugar in my oats.  As I drove from SMDRA to my first appointment, I ate a protein bar.  Not great, but at least it was something.  Then I didn't eat again until I got home about 1:15pm before my conference call.  I ate half of a baked sweet potato, some roasted broccoli and the last of the turkey salad.  Then after the call about 4:00, I made some deviled eggs with the baba ghanoush.  When I got home again after my last appointment, I made hamburger patties with grass-fed beef with a side of green beans sauteed in garlic and olive oil.  Outstanding!
