Yey, on the job well done, both at work and in eating!
I think I ate for both of us yesterday evening, so the balance of the world is safe...
I hope you slept well and the people at work start behaving themselves!

Thanks for all the support all of you.
Today has been chaotic but busy training & hiring & meetings rather that the insanity of tracking down people & doing payroll. Much better.
I got laughed at today for buying the kiddie whole wheat cheese pizza today instead of the adult personal pizza. Funny they might think it is, but that saved me a lot of calories. The adult 410 calories, the kid's 190 calories & only about an inch smaller. Plus the added nutrients since it was meant for growing kids. I actually got 25% of my iron & B vitamins. Pretty cool... plus come on it has elmo on the box.. good for a smile. Just added a banana & a few strawberries & a big glass of water & I'm good.
It amazes me the portion sizes of things.
I'm off to try to get some treadmill time in & a shower before relaxing.

WOW girly way to go with that pizza now I would have never done that!!!
Good choice on the Pizza. I like that idea. I sometimes get an extra kids meal when I take the kids out but I never do it if the kids are not with me. I always think the management is going to get mad since you paid for a kids meal and you aren't one. PS: can I have the elmo box?!?!
You are right about the portions sizes, they are crazy big. I am trying to only eat a small portion if I go out. Sometimes I succed others, well it just does not go well
Good luck on the rest of your day today

by having the morning off I have figured out a few things...
1- I actually can't sleep as long as I want to anymore... used to be able to sleep til 2 now I was up at 7 am for no reason.
2- I don't actually like summer on the NC coast. I would much rather go directly from the calm warm spring to the nice cool autumn without the chaos of the storms & the frickin HEAT. Not insane yet but it was 72 when I woke up at 7 am if that says anything about where today is heading. I don't even want to think about August yet...
3- I would do anything to get out of being measured by some stranger to get fitted for this bridesmaid dress. Something about some stranger who is probably perfectly comfortable strutting her stuff in a thong on the beach having to unwind that tape around my mass just makes me sick. I know I need to just do it & get it over with, but ug that thought just ruins a gal's day.... plus then you have to shell out hard earned money on a dress you wear once.
4- I think I stress drink. I drink a lot more water at work when I am dealing with crap than I do at home relaxing... also when nervous out with friends I tend to guzzle.. be it water or beer (which can be a problem). I know I emotional eat, but is there a thing called emotional drinking... mindlessly guzzling?
ah well off to start the day... hoping to get in a few moments of treadmill time, a healthy lunch, & a shower before I have to head into work.

yeah that's the worst part and it's not like it could even be entered in a hideous bridesmaid dress competition...your dress is going to be lovely... the to of your dress could be worn again - and when you go to the oscars, emmys, tonys and the gala at buckingham palace, you will have the appropriate ensemble to wear
the queen would approve

Ah yes... I forgot the awards circuit & the visits with the queen.... how could I forget.
I did think that I might once get invite to the Marine Corp ball since it happens once a year & there is always that scrabble for a date... typically there is no way I would waste some cash on a dress to go, but if I already had the dress... who knows...

Sure...its every November.
Oh & the really fun times are in July. The british royal navy docks for a week & yummy! They invite ladies abroad for the Officer's party & an enlisted party. Made the mistake of getting to "opinionated" & starting an agrument with the main guy in charge last time I went. Not sure I will get invited back on that boat!
ok maybe I don't mind the NC coast that much after all..
& I just had the weirdest lil thing as part of my lunch. My coworker left this small yellow dotted round fist sized pod on my desk. When I walked in I was like..."uh WTF? Where did the alien baby come from & when does it hatch?" She explained it was a Lemon Cucumber (her hubbies a landscaper & grows all kinds of crazy stuff). It was actually kinda good.

Calorie ranges piss me off.
Some days I am fine staying within the limits. Takes work & I have to plan but I feel fine with it.
Today... I am finished with the meals of the day, ended up just under the maximum limit by less than a 100 cals & I am craving anything & everything I can get my hands on. I didn't eat crap today.. had the fruits & veggies... but still I feel like I could eat an entire meal still.
Stupid hunger.

I so do understand that feeling - come to chicago we'll go for a walk and oogle the beefcake in the outdoor gym and if we're really lucky there will be a volleyball social going on for the under 30 set - and we can ooogle the cute young beefcake in shorts Don't need no stinkin' hamburgers - unless it fits into our calorie range..
though the past few weeks i've been thinking -screw calories I want to crack oen that bottle of really good tequilla..

I think tequila is calorie free if you are oogling... sounds like a fun time to me! Much better than this place at the moment. Copier just jammed & funny it takes a blonde to figure out you actually CAN open the door & pull out the paper with out dying.. lucky for that smuck I am that blonde.
you're giving blondes a bad name - being all smart and capable -stop that your kind has a reputation to uphold - think of your nails dangit

May I join you girls?
When the Brits come this way, they invite "well brought up daughters of good families" to their parties. Not sure we belong to that group of people..
It takes me some strength to stop eating when I've eaten everything in my plan for today. Arriving to the end of the list seems to trigger some kind of famine warning in my brain, urging me to keep eating. After what happened on Monday I've been watching this, and it comes every time, no matter what I've just eaten and what time it is. It lasts for about 30 minutes, so I eat my last bite, brush my teeth and keep myself busy for the next half an hour and it's gone. Ok, add some teeth grinding and genuine commitment to that...

Remember that the ink leaves permanent marks to your fingers. And you can't open the copy machine without getting some on you. I'd say, you're a marked woman.

I say the more the merrier on the boys with the boats! Come on!
As for the calorie thing... I appeased myself with a 1/2 cup of fresh blueberries & a bit of beef jerky, low cal but HIGH sodium...oops. Scale is reflecting it today!
