Today has been really slow. They say that it gets like that sometimes, but that all hell will break lose later--most likely. They do not have a formal training program for new consultants. That is good. I know how I learn best and training programs usually are not "best" for me.

Everyone I have met so far has been awesome. And very quirky. I love it.

I tried really hard to eat nothing but whole foods but I am finding that very difficult with the culinary resources available at my extended stay. So I have decided to use Lean Cuisine as my base and add protein and veggies to each meal. It is not exactly whole, but it will work. I need to nourish my body without stinking up my 15 X 20 ft. room. One skillet, one pot, one steak knife, a couple plates and bowls, a two-burner stove top and a microwave don't do much for me. I have never eaten frozen meals more than once or twice per year, so this will be an interesting experience.

I love the gym. I love it more every single day. It seems there are a bunch of people who prefer the posh accomodations of the women's locker room to their private facilities at home. I may have to keep going to the gym in the mornings, even after we move. It is really nice.

The scale at the gym had me up over 300 lbs on Monday. I am going to go with their number as I will be using that scale in the future. It seriously didn't bother me to record a higher weight in CK until the check-in analysis said "Weight Gain" and suggested that maybe I wasn't counting my calories correctly. That P'd me off a smidge. But just for a moment.

I'm probably back under 300 right now but I slept through the alarm and didn't get to the gym this morning. I'm going to go after work--again.

Update: I tried to give up coffee on Monday as I fear being dependent on anything and do this to myself periodically. To make a short story even shorter: bad idea. I'm not having withdrawals, but I am very tired. I suppose it could be due to the increased workout, lower carbs, and a new place...but it is more fun to blame it on not having coffee. So I caved a little bit ago and got an iced mocha. All better now. I know it is completely psychological, but man it tasted GOOD.
