homsies.

made it out of mke alive, peeps...and not any fatter or skinnier than when i got there (winning.)

i wish i could post you some sweet tips to tell you how i managed to get out of that place without falling off the bus entirely but in all honesty, i didn't try anything really out of the ordinary. as far is eating is concerned, i didn't even have to try to eat heatlhy. there was no choice in the matter.

turns out, our corporate lunches and breakfasts were super healthy!  so healthy, in fact, that i hoarded mini boxes of kashi "heart to heart" <3 and low sodium V8s all week.  seriously, my work bag is full of hoarded snacks from the conference.  the company i work for, as it turns out, has a really strong and prevalent culture of healthy living.  every dish in the cafeteria had a calorie count.  everything was low-sodium.  there was tofu e.v.e.r.y.w.h.e.r.e...which is exciting for me. 

i'll tell you what did suck hardcore, keeping up on the old training program in a hotel gym with 3 treadmills and about 15 people fighting for them.  happy to say, i never went one day without getting a covetted treadmill.  don't mess with me and my treadmill especially when the only alternative is a shady, off-balance eliptical.  chick from boston learned that the hard way.

also in the suck category was little to no sleep all week.  i'm a light sleeper.  my roomie snored like ridiculous. sleepy alison has a hard time working out and she also really loves eating junk food...but for the most part, i kept that chick in check.

i did get crazy with it at the brewers/cubs game on friday night and pretty sure i threw down on a steak pita at cafe lulu and also anihilated brunch at cafe hollander this morning...and pretty sure i don't regret it.  i mean, really, we can't take ourselves or this life too seriously...you'll never enjoy it that way.
