I did wake up early as planned, but right after I got out of the shower, I got a call from my wife that her car broke down on her way to work. That kind of threw a monkey wrench into the routine right from the get go. No time to eat breakfast. I just got dressed and went to pick her up. I had to then drop her off at work, and get her car towed. All this wouldn't have been a big deal, if I didn't have the coffee headache to go along with it.
You see, if I don't get my coffee by 10AM every morning, I get this headache. Once, I get it, it won't go away even if I drink coffee later. Not without some medication. So there I was stuck in the heat, with a headache waiting for the tow truck. By the time her car was at the shop and I got back home it was around 11AM. Since I had to go back in the afternoon to pick up m wife and her car, I called into work, and informed them that I'll be working from home.
There still was no time to eat anything, since I had to get some work done before lunch time. I did manage to get some coffee while I was on the way back home from the shop. That helped me curb my hunger, but not a whole lot. I logged in from home to catch up on emails, got some work done and then it was time to leave again. Since the wife didn't have a car, and needed to get lunch, we decided to eat lunch together. Luckily her work is close to the house, so it didn't take me too long. However, I was starving by now, so we went to a Mexican restaurant. I was determined to order something healthy, but those damn chips and salsa ruined me. I was so hungry, I couldn't stop munching on the chips. To make matters worse, I had ordered fajitas thinking it would be healthy, and it wasn't. I could tell the chicken was cooked in pork fat or something, because it was crunchy and had a bit of bacon flavor to it. Oh well, at least I tried.
As expected, I ate too much at the restaurant and now I was too full. I came home feeling guilty. No time to despair though. It was back to work. I wanted to workout once the food digested but before it did, it was time to go pick up my wife and her car. That was another ordeal, because now I was stuck in rush hour traffic all the way. After all of this, we finally got home around 6:30PM and we were to meet our friends for dinner at 7PM.
Once again, it was time to hurry up and get changed, freshen up a little and go. The good news was, we were having dinner at a sushi restaurant. So I knew I had plenty of healthy choices available. I decided to order the Salmon Sashimi since that was the healthiest option I liked. I had never had sashimi before, but I like it. I didn't realize raw salmon tasted so good. I did sample some of the tempura sushi that my friends had ordered, but it was just a couple. Nothing to freak out about.
Then off we went to see Prometheus after dinner. Overall, I was a notch above my allotted calorie intake for the day, but I felt I had redeemed myself at dinner time. I didn't get to do most of what I had planned for the day, but I have to figure out a way to make up for it. I'll let you know what I come up with.
