Oy. 100% Perfection this week is going well so far, but it's a bit harder than I thought it was going to be. I work for Goodyear and this week our huge shiny modern new headquarters building was officially open for business including the new cafeteria and fancy coffee bar in the lobby.
It's the coffee bar that's really driving me nuts. I love fancy coffee bars. Yes, I know they're overpriced, but I find fancy, overpriced coffee both tasty and comforting, a delightful indulgence in a dreary, cold February world. Thus far in the challenge I've been mostly able to keep an arms' length distance from Starbucks and its evil mates, but now ... it's right there.
On Monday the temptation was the worst. I think because the shiny new building was SO EXCITING and I always want food to celebrate exciting things. Now that we're on Day #3 things have calmed down and I'm doing better. I feel less crazy with temptation and more wistful.
The shiny new building has good aspects too. There's a fitness center (although it doesn't open for another two weeks), and I fully intend to make use of the elliptical machines as part of my cardio once that happens. Also, the new cafeteria menu has more nutrition focus than the old one, so as long as I'm willing to pay for it, I can add some variety to my lunch in the middle of the day.
On another note, I'm ready for spring...
