Jan 17th

I'm still finding ways to slip sweets into my day/evening.  Just craving sugar or at least a slight sweetness from natural peanut butter.

I'm about to be on show site in Vegas with a producer that takes good care of the team with a fully stocked snack table.  Sweet, salty, healthy and decadent.  I have to dedicate myself to daily renewal with this.  There will be fruit, but there will be M&Ms.  I tend to graze a lot in the production office, sometimes out of boredom.

I believe I have access to a workout room at the MGM Grand, and I plan to take advantage as best I can.  I make a lot of excuses onsite.

Today, snow.  No run, YMCA closed.  Up to me to find time at home today to use kettlebells, do yoga, or something that gets the metabolism churning a bit.

December 30th

Did about a 3 mile walk today. Oatmeal for breakfast. PBJ for lunch. Black bean & tomato soup for dinner.  Avocado & cilantro garnish. Popcorn (unsalted unbuttered) as snack Leaning hard into the notion of being a vegetarian again.  I say it so often, and yet, sooner or later, I have to make a decision as to how I want to live. My BP was very high today.  160/100 at its worst.  That's horrible.  Something has to change.

Vegetarian in Vegas

Okay, Plant-Based, but I liked the alliteration of the title. Enjoyed an amazing Yucatan Quinoa Salad at lunch, and a black bean/Mexican salad this evening.  I've avoided pizza thus far, and bad Chinese food, but I have had two veggie burgers w/ fries, and a ridiculous bowl of pasta w/ melted cheese. So, nowhere near perfection, but some good decisions.  Mostly, I've enjoyed an açaí bowl, with granola, berries, banana, açaí, cacao, and honey.  I've had three of those - usually having one for breakfast instead of some pastry or Starbucks concoction. I have no idea how I'm doing weight-wise, but I confess where I've really fallen down is exercise.  I did yoga one morning, and took a brisk 3 mile walk one evening, but otherwise, nada. I could go to the fitness center tomorrow.  Also toying with a B12 shot.  They offer them here, mostly for those who have overdone it.  For me, it's about getting some revived energy and an overall boost. looking f...

January's Curse

I've always found January to be the most challenging of months.  It's almost always the greyest month, with fewer peeks of sunshine throughout the days.  It's cold, of course.   But mostly, it's the month dedicated to renewal, while almost always being my busiest travel month. Yoga centers offer deals for January, there are cleanses and classes dedicated to starting your year off right.  But I'm almost always on the road for half the month or more.  I know it sounds like an excuse, but it makes getting traction at the start of the year difficult.  I start a new habit, then a few days into it, I'm yanked away for a road trip that upends the routine.   I get back home, reengage, then it's off again for a week. I'm not complaining.  Well, maybe I am.  I love the work, and welcome it.  I just long for the chance to create some momentum.  There are alternate possibilities, but for once, the idea that I could take part in a local happ...
