What a beautiful day :)
Now, I may be biased because it's my birthday tomorrow, but it is such a beautiful day today! It started out just awfully, all foggy and nasty, but it has cleared and the sun in shining!
All of my coworkers were going out to lunch today with one of our principles for a "Lunch with Leadership." Now I know these kind of things are supposedly good for my career, to meet people, make contacts, etc. But I just can't bring myself to go out to eat when I don't want to. I think that it's a comprimise I'm willing to make. So I snuck out before they left and went for a run through SF. I thought I was in the clear on the way back from the gym after showering until I hear "Michelle!" behind me. There was one of my co-workers coming from lunch! "So," he says, "you skipped lunch to go workout?" I thought fast and said, "Oh well I had already commited to lunching with a friend (that is what I told them when I ducked out early), but we decided to go workout instead." PHEW. Dang, I am surprised at how well I lie just on the spot too. It just comes out, always has. Anyway, crisis avoided and I am sitting here, freshly worked out and feeling delish. My parents are taking me out to one of the best steakhouses in the city for dinner tonight since it's my bday, so I am keeping the calories today to a bare minimum. So far I've had a bowl of fiber cereal w/ a peach and a balance bar. And I'm not even hungry! Now to just keep my mind off food for 3 more hours....I want to be STARVING when I walk into that restaurant so that I have enough calories to have my filet, salad, and 1/2 piece of cake and not be stuffed when I am done eating! I am determined.
Yesterday when I was running I thought about this other girl Stephanie's blog...she is a runner and said when she quit haflway through a run the other day she was disappointed because she didn't want to write about it on her blog the next day. LOL. Well, I am going to write that yesterday my workout did not go well, but I definitely made up for it today. Next time I am on the treadmill and feeling tired (like yesterday) I will think of my blog :o)
Ok, back to work and wishing I was back outside!
