Day 6

-
Breakfast: Wheat bread and almond butter and a banana.

Lunch: This may have been a slight cheat...this morning I went to the gym and did some walking and sprints, then I went to hot yoga at Prana Yoga (and it was 105 degrees and 60% humidity in the room). I felt a little feverish last night and think I wasn't fully recovered enough for yoga. At one point I stood up and saw spots then black and was pretty sure I was going to pass out. I stayed in child's pose (basically on your knees with your forehead on the mat for all you non-yogis) for a few minutes, then was able to tough out the last few poses. Whole Foods is right next to the yoga place and I figured I maybe was hungry too since it was after noon now and I ate breakfast around 730 this morning. Anyways, to make a long story longer, I walked around the hot food section (loosing my cart in the process and never finding it). I saw the vegan hot food options but I'm not crazy about tofu, I am kind of salad-ed out, and I like falafel (fried ground chickpeas) but wasn't in the mood for them. I made my way to the burrito bar and got a taco bowl with lettuce, black beans, salsa and brown rice. I'm not sure if the taco bowl was vegan, and I didn't ask because I didn't want to know!

Dinner: A baked sweet potato with a little Italian dressing and 1/2 of the 365 days canned tomato soup.

Snacks: Snyder's sourdough minis, apple, almonds, and a tangerine.

However, despite my less than stellar yoga and grocery experience, I was glad to see that I have lost 4 pounds since last Tuesday when I started. I've decided I'm going to see how long I can stick out vegan-ism.

So I'm on the phone at about 3:15 doing an exit interview with yet another disgruntled employee who is leaving. I always shut the door to my office when I'm on calls like this because, frankly, I work with retards who will stand in front of me the entire time I'm on the phone to wait for me to finish. I'm so glad that working in HR, my workspace is private and people respect the confidentiality of my role. Awesome! As I said, I'm on the phone, and my door is shut. One co-worker barges in and tried to get my attention. I point to the phone and mouth "come back later". A second one does the same thing, followed by a third, fourth, fifth, and finally sixth. Through my window that looks into the hallway in my office, I see that a small group has gathered. Finally, Julia (the girl I share an office with) goes out into the hallway to see what's going on. Five seconds later, she walks back into the office, shuts the door, glances at me, and sits down...

Not much going on, too early for March Madness, NESN doesn't put enough Spring Training on TV, so instead, I'm going to post something that I randomly came across today and thoroughly enjoyed. (promise I'll have a good post Monday morning!) A Nation's destination: Destiny By Bill Simmons Page 2 I woke up thinking about the Red Sox. Answered e-mails, read the paper, showered, shaved, never stopped thinking about the Red Sox. Found that I was so excited, I could barely keep a thought in my head. Skipped through the day's routine doing ordinary things, thinking the entire time, "Holy crap, my life could be completely different in eight hours." Now it's time to join the ranks of the normal baseball fans. Thank God. Is this how parents feel when they're about to have a baby? Like nothing has changed, but everything's about to change? That's how I felt yesterday. The Red Sox were about to win the World Series. And I was about to become Just Anoth...
