It has been almost 30 days since I posted. A combination of laziness and poor use of time resulted in not getting a post up. As my job has transitioned into a higher gear (which I had not realized was possible) and I have found the balancing act I had in place went completely into the shitter.
There are a couple of positives out of the last 30 days though. I set a PR in my first half marathon of the season by 5 minutes, yeah me! Negative split training worked well. I also managed to shed 7 of the extra 17 pounds I have been toting around with me. Again, yeah me! This was primarily done through portion control and calorie counting. I have to admit I am a completely emotional eater. Stress equals hand me a bag of chips and a glass of wine and let the serotonin do its job.
I think the next 30 days will be pretty interesting. I will be on the road between 50%-75% of the time. Being away from my family will completely suck. However, the upside is the potential impact I can have on my team who is a truly amazing group of people. My role now is to focus on execution, strategy, and empowerment. I will have to figure out how to squelch the need to be in control and exude implicit trust...... OMG that will be hard.
So in closing my mantra will be about karma. Lets pray I'm not a bitch.
