One step closer to success
Yesterday I was only able to eat part of my lunch b/c part of it looked like it had gone bad. Then we had meetings right after school so I was starving when it came time for supper. No surprise on what happened next, I made poor food choices. Almost like clockwork, cravings kicked in. My hubby is always hungry for sweets so I casually mentioned that I wanted a treat and his eyes lit up like a Christmas tree. We decided that we wanted Blizzards from DQ and I said that if I could take 15 minutes to go tan that I’d run to DQ.
I don’t know why but as I was baking in the tanning bed (I know it’s bad but it feels so good) I decided that I didn’t want the ice cream anymore. I picked him up his Blizzard and did eat about 3 bites but then I was done. I was very tempted to get one anyway, what’s an extra 600 calories??? But I knew I would be eating it for the wrong reasons so I said no. Yay!!!

In the continuing saga of our banking problems, here’s the update. I called the bank on Monday and they fixed everything but I expressed our frustration b/c this is the 3rd time in 15 months that they have put the money in the wrong acct. Yesterday we received a note in the mail from the woman I spoke with. At first I was impressed that she was writing to clarify what happened, but as we read the letter we realized that she was pointing out 2 mistakes that she thought I made, completely refusing to take responsibility on their end. It was completely juvenile and vindictive, plus she wasted her work time and postage to rub my face in my 1 mistake. So hubby and I wrote a letter back, taking responsibility for our 1 mistake and explaining why the 2nd mistake was their fault. On top of it, we explained that due to her immaturity that when we move/build in the next year that we will take our business elsewhere, costing her bank tens of thousands of dollars in interest. Then, we Cc’d it to the bank president. I’ll be curious to see if there’s further contact.

Due to my poor food choices last night I decided it was a good idea to workout this morning and I’m glad I did. I have a lot of energy and feel stronger to make better choices today.
Days on plan this month: 16
Progress toward workout goal: 206/250
Tanning, eh? I wish I could do that. I’m ghostly pale… but, being a redhead I think it would be strange looking on me. I just turn red, get more freckles. It does seem relaxing.
I do that all of the time on treats. I decide I’d like something and then change my mind last minute. Almost as yummy as the treat! Cool on you! Sometimes a taste is all you need.
It’s frustrating to deal with banks and corporations. Like beating your head against a brick wall, I worked for one once. That sucks. I hope you get a response.
Your bank lady is an ass. I HATE it when people do that. Good for you for sticking up for yourself!
And good for you for resisting the Blizzard temptation. I heart those little calorie laden treats.
I thought you meant you were gonna tan and then literally RUN to the DQ… I thought that was pretty adventurous of you!
