Snow Storms and approaching holidays

Posted by dragonwoman64 on December 19th, 2009 |Filed Under Uncategorized |

Today we got a snow storm here in Brooklyn.  I went to the post office (what a line!!!!), then to Staples, then to the gym (packed too).  All the job stress is making me jumpy and agitated, I go from feeling like not eating anything, to feeling like I want to scarf down a burger and fries.  I gave myself the goal of applying to so many jobs per day and/or completely job search related tasks.  Yep, it’s exhausting, probably more mentally than physically.

Yesterday, we went into Manhattan to try and enjoy some of the Christmas going ons.  We ate lunch at the food market in Grand Central, then looked at the crafts fair there.  Despite the cold, we walked up 5th Avenue to see the tree in Rockefeller Center, watch the skaters for a few minutes (ending up watching the Zamboni for most the time), then walked through St. Patrick’s and attended the end of a mass.  Once we got back to Brooklyn, we stopped in a new pastry shop and shared a piece of chocolate cake (a regal — pronounced ree - gal, I was told) and a coffee.

Yes, I still wanted to give myself an eat treat as part of making myself feel better.  All of my family lives in California; I feel lonely and stressed out, probably a little self pitying.  BF and I are trying to make the most of it, we have our ups and downs.  I made chocolate chip cookies to mail to my brother (went out today, see note above about long line).  I made the cookies small, and had 4 of them.  More feel better eating.  I felt like having eggnog with rum too.  Didn’t do that at least.  My weight’s been sticking to 238.
