As I am writing this I am absolutely starved and about to
face the Bread Brigade downstairs at Breakfast. They are serving all different
types of really good bread as well as chocolate croissants. FML. They even have cake for breakfast. Instead Ill
have fruit, cold eggs and black coffee. Delicious!!!
Yesterday was pretty uneventful. I got to work about 9am and
stayed until 6:30pm. I didn’t go out once during the day, they brought lunch
in. The one benefit to smoking was you were guaranteed a few trips outside
everyday which is nice. I use to sit there and smoke and recap on what happened
since I was last downstairs having a smoke. Although in Greece, its amazing the
places people smoke here. They still let people smoke at restaurants. It’s like
China.
I had Chicken and Greek Salad for lunch today. I also found
out that traditionally Greek salad (as it is served in Greece) does not have
any lettuce—kind of odd, no? Throughout the day I had about 2-3 cups of coffee
(black). They didn’t have Almond milk here so adding a cream wasn’t an option.
For dinner I had some more grilled chicken (reoccurring theme) and smoke
grilled lamb. The chicken was great and they serve cut it up into pieces for me
(kind of like the way Mom used to cut the food for me) which I love. I believe
when they serve it already cut up for you that it tastes better (opinion).
Not enough veggies or fruit yesterday and I am feeling that
as I write this. I’m hungry and slightly worn down. I haven’t really seen any
places selling fresh produce (I know they exist, but haven’t had the chance to
venture around much). There is a Starbucks near my hotel but it was not open at
7am (amazing).
So my meeting is at 10am today (the reason I am here) and
afterwards I am thinking of hitting up the Acropolis and starting to do all
that fun tourist stuff.
I like Greece and its amazing to be here, which I’m grateful
for, but this week in combination with last week (Chicago) has thrown off all
my eating patterns. Having healthy options that are satisfying is difficult to
do when you are away from home and I am feeling that now.
Talk to you guys tomorrow.

p.s. I do feel like I have lost some lbs (mostly because I
haven’t been eating—not good).
