Last Thursday was my busiest day ever and I almost walked out

I had 6 appointments back to back last Thursday with no lunch break. Three color corrections, two balayages, and one bridal trial that ran over by 45 minutes. By the time I got to my 4pm client my hands were shaking from not eating. I had to ask my receptionist to grab me a granola bar between rinses. Anyone else ever get so slammed you forget to take care of yourself?

Used to think skipping meals was just part of the grind. This post made me realize how stupid that is.

Part of the grind" - man, that phrase gets me every time. I used to think the same thing, like skipping meals was some kind of badge of honor. But here's something that hit me later on: when you skip meals, your body starts eating its own muscle for energy, not just fat. So all that time at the gym lifting weights? You're basically working against yourself. I noticed my lifts went down and I felt weaker even though I was putting in the work. Now I just eat smaller meals more often, keeps the energy steady without that full feeling.
