Busy Busy Day
From my 4 am start to just now finishing my work calls at 9 pm, it's been a non-stop day. I did manage to fit in a very quick trip to the gym (which is on my way home from work) between working at work and working at home, but all in all it's been work work work.
I did a lot of nibbling during the day instead of eating a big lunch. Here's the day:
breakfast:
same as always
lunch and afternoon snacks:
102 g kale
1 cup nonfat plain organic yogurt with 4 tbsps salsa verde
10 g almonds
98 cals olives
1 Babybel Light cheese (50 cals)
another 10 g almonds
one of those low carb low sugar 60 cal chocolate candies I bought at the drugstore with the reading glasses and need to throw out
32 cals organic celery with organic mustard
green tea, chamomile tea, diet coke, coffee
Dinner:
brewers yeast soup with 85 g brussels sprouts
another babybel light cheese
4 oz wine (felt like it and thought I'd see how I liked a tiny amount -- it was just as satisfying as my old 6 - 8 ounce glass!)
50 more g olives
Crunch: (this is somewhat low because I haven't custom entered my new yogurt or my babybel light, so the calcium should be even higher than it is -- the babybel's are 20% of the RDA per mini -- 50 cals)

Yup, the wine makes it harder to hit Zone ratios... I remember that from my early days. Close though, close!
Gotta eat some mushrooms for panto acid, whatever that is (I know, I know, it's a B vitamin!) Didn't have the energy to dig them out of the freezer.
Don't have much energy at all, and back at it at 4 am sharp as I am meeting a physical therapist as she's going into work at 6:15 am, and then heading to another hospital to stand outside handing out leaflets to nurses during am shift change. Then a long day followed by an entire evening of phone calls. I was supposed to go to a friend's birthday gathering tonight but couldn't due to work craziness... the organizer bunny goes on and on and on.
Now I have to go feed the kefir monsters before bed... and tell them that their father will be home soon! They will be so happy!

April, do you find you're able to tackle days like you just described better after a year of CRON? Assuming you had a similar schedule before CRON, were you able to go from 4 a.m. to 9 p.m. nonstop for days in a row?
Just curious because in my former (read: pre-CRON) life I would have days like you described, and they would knock me out for a week or more afterward. I'm wondering if another plus for a CRON lifestyle is to be able to handle that kind of schedule again (not that I'm relishing going back to it).
