Day 50: Work-At-Home Eating and Two Days Til The Draft

Since it was President’s Day and my daughter’s school was closed, I worked from home.  Working from home is really hard for me sometimes because I don’t have to pre-portion my food like I do when I take it to work.  So, even though I might be eating healthy, it might be a lot MORE of that food than what I would take to the office.  I bought some 6 oz. glass containers with lids to bake and store my morning oatmeal (I make a large batch over the weekend and then keep it in the fridge for when I want to eat it).  I only ate ONE this morning (YAY) but I was still hungry early. I had some ripe avocados, so I decided to make that clean guacamole recipe from a while ago – VERY GOOD!  Made crispy barbecue tofu for lunch – my daughter absolutely LOVES it because “it tasted just like chicken”.  GO MOMMY!  I still felt like I ate a lot, and Tyrone was on the fritz today, so I didn’t get my normal workout in.  I still ran for 30 minutes in my living room, which is HELLA awkward (running in place is never not awkward).  All in all, a decent – but not awesome – work-at-home eating day.

Practice was good.  It was our last home team scrimmage night prior to Wednesday’s draft.  The pressure is definitely on but I think I did well.  The first hour was scrimmage time for the team I was assigned to for the night; the second hour was team practice time with the same team.  I learned a lot about pack strategy, which is always awesome, and I received a lot of good feedback from the team.

I still don’t know how the draft will go on Wednesday.  I’m pretty nervous… I mean, I think I’ve shown all of the teams that I would be a great asset to them (get it?  asset?) but it’s out of my hands now.  I don’t have any team preferences.  All of the teams are awesome and I would be honored to play for any of them.  For now, I wait to see what happens Wednesday night.  Hopefully, Day 52 will be AWESOME for my TBT and my derby goals.  Will definitely keep you posted.
