Today's handy dandy nutrition tip: fiber.

If: you are increasing the amount of fiber in your daily diet; and
If: you start by consuming 2 apples, a whole canteloupe, 2 bananas, 2 cups of riced cauliflower, a baked potato, and a pound of baby carrots in one day; and
If: you have dramatically increased your water consumption and decreased your consumption of fats in order to umm... ease the way... for that fiber to get out of your system; and
If: you exercised in the morning, thereby helping things move along; and
If: you find yourself on a conference call at the office, but feel the first innocent stirrings of abdominal business about to occur;

DO NOT: try to make it to the end of the conference call;
DO NOT: dilly dally on the way to the little healthy eater's room;
DO NOT: allow yourself to get engaged in conversation as you make your way down the hall;

Instead: tell your colleagues on the conference call that a fire alarm is going on in your office;
Or: you have an urgent call waiting for you;
OR: just hang up and think of some excuse later (you will have time to do so); AND
Immediately proceed (and I mean IMMEDIATELY) to the nearest room with appropriate gendered porcelain water-filled chairs.

On the bright side, I registered 58 very quick steps down the hall on my Fitbit; and
58 less quick steps back down the hall to my office; and
I'm looking forward to a nice loss on the scale tomorrow morning.

This has been your handy dandy nutrition tip for today, Monday, August 27, 2012. You may now proceed with your regularly scheduled activities.

    I think we all have had those moments where you first say it (oh snit), then mere seconds later you do it!

    So did you use the fire alarm or another urgent call as an excuse? LOL
