St. Louis: The Challenge

Yesterday I arrived in St. Louis, and will be here for 10 more days and nights for work. This is going to be my biggest challenge to date... as I MUST keep my workout and diet schedule going in the midst of these events I am participating in (which can be pretty exhausting). There are some pros and some cons to this trip:

CONS
1. I can't make my own food, and must choose from the pre-selected meals that will be provided
2. I don't have Cyrus physically with me in my corner, making me go to the gym if I don't feel like it one day
3. I will be extra tired
4. Sometimes these meetings can go into the evening, making it more difficult to work out
5. Every lunch and dinner meal served comes with dessert and every breakfast comes with bacon, which I will have to refuse every time

PROS
1. I don't have to make my own food, it's all made for me!
2. All my team members know about my quest, and will be there to support me if I feel unmotivated, and Cyrus is only a phone call away
3. The fitness center is less than a minute walk from my room, making excuses almost impossible
4. My good friend Lolly who lives here took me to the grocery store last night, and I have lots of healthy snacks to eat to keep my diet on the right track.

Sooo... this trip will be a challenge, there is no doubt about that, but I still have my motivation and I refuse to let this long trip deter me from my goal. When I get home, I still expect that number on the scale to do gown!

Now - I am off to the fitness center before my first round of meetings :)
