I met with my business coach today. We talk about lots of things that you might not think would come up in a discussion with a business coach, including the fact that I didn't track my calories yesterday. It fits under the category of well-being, because how effective can I be in running my business, if I don't take care of my well-being. well, the last two years have been an on-going test of that, haven't they. I'm really glad I have such a great staff.
Anyway, my justification for not counting my calories yesterday was that I had dinner at the Tapestry board meeting--a very delicious portabella mushroom stuffed with hummus, quinoa, and topped with Gouda cheese. Yum!!! Who could ever count the calories in that. And since I wasn't counting, how about a chocolate chip cookie for dessert, and while we're at it, how about a beer and popcorn during Monday night football. And all for free, because who was counting. So after talking with Anne, I realized it was all a crock--sure, I didn't know the exact number of calories, but I could estimate the amount of quinoa, hummus, cheese, mushroom, etc. To come up with a close-enough number--close enough that I'd know I didn't have room for the beer and popcorn. So I estimated it today, and I was about 250 calories over--not too bad--and ate that many fewer today.
Being sleazy doesn't really help me with my goals. I'm going to spend more time counting, less time justifying not counting.
