A Stomach, Not a Waist Basket

Friday!!

Very excited that the weekend is about to start. I need this break.

I met with my boss yesterday (90-day performance review) and was told really nice things. It’s nice to know I’m appreciated, and it’s amusing that she is the second person here who feels that I have amazing observation and communication skills. A coworker told me last week that I could be an amazing politician :-) Yes, I take that as a compliment :-)

I also mentioned the 4 -10’s issue and was offered another option that I didn’t even think about. TELECOMMUTING! As long as I have CS3 on my home computer, I can telecommute one day a week. I SO LOVE MY JOB RIGHT NOW!

Tomorrow is my WW Weigh-In. As long as I don’t lose my mind and eat a gagillion calories today, I’ll show a loss - I’m a daily weigher. I’m trying to be super good because this morning I showed a 3 pound loss for the week and would like to keep it that way :-)

Also, last week I had to order a book for Kirk (his info was ‘verified’ on ebay, so the seller wouldn’t ship) and saw that the same seller had a brand new copy of Hungry Girl’s book for $5.  Well, of course I added that bad boy to the purchase! It came in yesterday, it has some great recipes in it - I’ve managed to read all of the Breakfast & Chopped Salad sections. I love how she includes single serving recipes. Makes it easier for days when it’s just me at the house.

Have a great weekend everyone!

TOM is Now

Here in all its full-blown glory.

I’ve had 2 work-related happy hours this week. And a chocolate milkshake on Wednesday - we’ve been in 90’s all week….a milk shake is so justified.

I’ve been trying to stick to the workouts, concentrating on my heart rate levels. The only problem I see is that I can get it up to my cardio level (150-ish), but trying to get it to go down for the ‘fat burn’ level (140-ish) is tough. Just as I get it back down to 140-ish, it’s time for me to get it back up to 150-ish.

Also, the BodyBugg is on sale online for $209. Can you believe that?! Of course, when I don’t have the money it’s that cheap….well, I do have the money, but I’m going to Corpus Christi this weekend for Memorial Day, so I want spending money for that. Grr. Hopefully it stays on sale for a week and I can get it next Friday. Whatever.

It just seemed like a pretty title :)

I’m sitting at my desk, bracing myself for the attack of my sales guys. I had to send out an email to all of them requesting a LOT of information that I think is near impossible for them to get to me. But this info came down from the pres of the company, so what else can I do. So I sit and wait for the fallout. Already received one nasty email and one really funny one from a guy who understands this didn’t come from me!

I thought food was going to be tough today (lunchtime meeting) but I ended up being able to order the food for people, so I was able to customize my meal. I ended up being so low on points for the day, I was able to sneak in a snack size Kit Kat :)

B: Low Sugar Oatmeal & Iced Green Tea - 2
S: 100 Cal English Muffin & Laughing Cow Cheese - 2
L: 1/2 Turkey Reuben (turkey, saurkrat, spicy mustard on rye) and Baked Lays - 7.5
S: Snack size Kit Kat - 2
D: 2 Mini Chicken Pot Pies and a spinach salad w/ mushrooms, tomatoes, banana peppers & ff honey mustard dressing - 6.5
Total: 20 pts

Leaves me with 2 points for a dessert. Maybe a Nutrisystem chocolate cake w/ coolwhip?
