Yes and no. If there's anyone I think i need some networking time with (my boss' boss or higher), then I'll make an appearance and spend my time wisely.

For my immediate team or my peers, they see me enough.

Limit the times I attend. When I do, don’t overdo it. Stick with low cal options and drink water in between. And if I know I’m gonna drink and pack on the carbs after work, I overcompensate earlier in the day with lots of protein and minimal carbs.

Do you feel that it sets you back socially at all at your company?

I have one drink or just seltzer in a highball glass with a lime. No one asks me why I’m not drinking. (I like to think it fools some people into thinking I’m drinking a gin and tonic) And if they not, I just tell them I’m training for a race. People seem to respect a runner’s training plan 🤷🏻‍♀️

Gym in morning before to make sure gainz aren’t lost, drink later

I was supportive of Lori when this virus first started but her actions since have dwindled my support of her. I don’t expect her to make every decision correct nor do we have to agree with all of them. I believe she should be correct around 75 percent of the time but I believe she is in the 50 percent range. I know everything doesn’t fall on her shoulder but things haven’t been great as of late. Hopefully they figure out something soon.
