What to eat when working out and other stuff

Interesting read....nice to know that I follow this more or less.

Not much else going on. Trev is still traveling (Holland 2 weeks ago, Atlanta last week and this week, Singapore next week....it never ends) and I'm still working hard and then kicking my butt in the gym. That always makes me feel good.

One thing that I am concerned about on a personal note is that I'm now starting to have HUGE guilt feelings if I don't go to the gym. For example last Friday I didn't go. Bear in mind that on the Thursday I worked out with Billy and then did a 45min spin class. He told me to rest Friday, which I did. Why the guilt? Same thing yesterday - I came home and did nothing. Saturday and Sunday I did classes (Pilates and then an aerobic class) so it's not like I've not done anything. This is not a usual feeling for me so it's weird feeling it.....and I know I'm not explaining it well - clearly I'm becoming obsessed and I need to calm it down. Not quite sure how to do that but I'll work on it.

I'm also starting to make new friends - I have Sharon and Marcie at the gym, i've also met a lady called Funda and we seem to hit it off. I'm liking living here even more.... the more things I have to do which doesn't include work or the gym is a good thing and it also gives me stuff to do when Trev isn't around (which is quite often). I still miss my Friday nights at Muddy Waters when we lived in CR.....it was such fun and a tradition. Didn't get to that in STL and haven't quite got to that stage here in NY. working on it though!

I'm starting to think about trips we want to make in the next few months - I just bought a ticket to STL for beginning of January. I'm sure it'll be killer cold....but it'll be great to hang out with old friends for the weekend. Can't wait. Means now I want to get back to CR, Chicago and Denver too so I'm on all the websites looking for good tickets.

In 2 weeks I'm off on a management course.....I'm going to find out about delegating, communicating and coaching again. I always like these courses because it's not about learning a product or application, it's about you. While it can be uncomfortable reading feedback about yourself, it's also a good time to reflect on how others perceive you and your performance. I also get to do a project for 3 months which gets high visibility so that'll be very cool too. All I have to do now is find time to do the pre-work:)

Old friends - Lorraine and Diane.....if you're reading this please get in touch as i've tried emailing and got no responses.

OK enough rambling for today....gotta get back to work!
