Ok, it has been a very EXHAUSTING 7 days. The Consumer Electronics Show had over 150,000 visitors both domestic and international, thousands of exhibitors, and packed Vegas for four days of non-stop consumer electronics fun. And bad traffic. And mediocre food. Etc. It was a GO GO GO week, to say the least.
I pushed myself the best I could for the first few days, and then circumstances built up against me. I arrived Tuesday, and worked out in my room and ate the best I could while standing in the middle of a deep fried oasis. By Thursday, however, I started to break down. They stopped serving eggs and bacon in the staff breakfast room, and instead stocked cereals and bagels. I couldn't find anything to eat anywhere, and it made lunch and dinner all that more frantic. I also caught a terrible head flu, making me all around miserable and lost my voice. I stopped having the energy to research restaurants ahead of time, carefully scanning menus for reasonably priced salads.
As my flu got worse, I'm sorry to say, my willpower got worse. I also got my period, which was a hormonal rollercoaster which tends to stay on the depression side. A few fries here, a cookie because they had no other food in the breakroom, etc. I am happy to say that I resisted the urge to BINGE BINGE BINGE but it was definetely hard.
On the GOOD side, I know that I walked easily 2 to five miles a day, just out of necessity. I feel good about that--at least I just wasn't a lump.
So I am back again, reinducting on day numero uno after a good 15 hour plus sleep. I'm happy to be here. None of those hot dog buns showed me any of the kindness or patience that you guys have =)
