active lifestyle act

And here I thought I was busy this week with the meeting deadline for abstracts being tonight, well, tomorrow really but always best to submit twenty four hours before, just to be on the safe side. The bummer about all this work is that it is really cutting into my exercise and weight loss plan two ways: one I am not getting the time I need to exercise and two I am not eating as well as I should. Too many late night pizza deliveries and eating the junk food that seems to accumulate in our break-room.

To make matters worse I asked a my friend what they were doing to stay fit and this was their week's plan: Today, slipping out of work early. Getting a hair cut and them off to make some granola bars and pack my bags. On Friday the gang is meeting at my house at 8am for the eight hour drive to the Grand Canyon for the race. Then Sunday the plan is to drive back to San Diego and by Monday back to work as if nothing really happened.

I hate to be petty and I know it's not a competition, but I would have thought between the two of us I would have bet that I would have been the one to lose the weight we talked about before they did. I guess in all honestly I thought they were not going to be able to stick to the regimen they had established for themselves. Maybe I should use more protein drinks weight loss as an alternative to eating the junk food they have here. What are friends for, if not to help motivate you to exercise, eat right and by all means: stop eating the weekly donuts people bring here at work.
