It's 2 p.m. I just successfully finished the first half of my work day. I worked just as hard in the gym at lunch, and finished my post WOD meal right when I got home (which was great, but doesn't leave me feeling full). I look at the clock, then back at my schedule to see when my next meal is.. and there's quite a few hours to go. Have you been here before too? There's so many days (okay, most days!), that I struggle a bit between 2-5 p.m. Maybe because the day feels like it takes a week to get to the end of my work day, maybe I slow down after lunch so I have more time to think about food, maybe I really am a little bit more hungry. Whatever the case, I know I need to mentally get myself to at least 4:30 p.m. (and 5 p.m. if I want a full pita pizza, which is motivating)!
What's my secret trick that gets me through the second part of my day?
I find that drinking flavored water, and having the option to choose a flavor is actually pretty satisfying! If you follow me on social media, you'll see I try all the brands and all the flavors. I really don't stick with one, as it makes it more exciting. (Variety is the spice of life!)
What I Have Readily Available in My Fridge Today:
- Kirkland's Sparkling Water
- S. Pellegrino
- Bang Caffeine Free Apple Crisp
- Waterloo Sparkling Water
We switch these up often, but are some ideas if you're feeling the mid-day slump and want to try one! I've also seen people chew flavored sugar free gum, although I couldn't make that one stick.
Is there something that gets you through your day that I should try? Comment below!
