And so it begins…
daily blathering November 6th, 2009
Weight: 159.4
After like this “perfect” day of eating, yesterday. I should be upset with the gain, right. Except that I discovered this morning that TOM was standing on the scale with me. The bastard! So, all the candy binges of the last week are not my fault - IT’S ALL TOM’S FAULT!! (Hmm… this is sounding vaguely familiar.)
So, I’m good with it. And even though today actually managed to get off to a WORSE start than yesterday (if that was even possible without loss of life or limb) I did NOT use it as an excuse to grab a crap-n-go breakfast from Jack in the Box. Or even a gingerbread latte and pumpkin scone from Buck in the Star (give it a minute…. there ya go!) BTW - if you are feeling tempted to “indulge” take a minute and go to the company’s website. Look at the nutrition info. A venti non-fat gingerbread latte with no-whip: 330 calories (not HORRIBLE, but definitely not great.) A pumpkin scone: 450 calories. And that, my friends, is nearly my DAILY allowance! In something that I wouldn’t even consider breakfast, since totally NOT FILLING at all!!! Yeah, talked me right out of it there! MY WORD how can people eat that (ok, so I can totally eat it, but only in ignorance. Now that I know, I don’t think I could stomach it - yes, you’re welcome for that pun of the day.)
So I had tea (zero calories) and a Lean Cuisine chicken fettucini something or other that had like 300 calories. And was remarkably filling.
I have had something in my eye like ALL MORNING. It has felt like someone was taking a straight pin and scraping it up and down my eye every time I blinked. I blink a lot. Especially when it feels like I have a straight pin in my eye. I finally had to kick vanity in the nuts and just go flush my eye out with water. Then I spent another 20 minutes getting all the make up off my other eye. I now look like my best friend died or I have an eye infection. Good news - whatever the hell it was is finally gone. Bad news - it’s noon and I have to stay red and swollen eyed with no make up for the rest of the work day. Maybe people will think I’m bereft or contagious and stay the hell away - oh, well than it’s win-win!
More later. Need to get back to pretending to work… *wondering if I can break my Bejeweled Blitz high score*

I hear ya- most of the time now when I want something I look at the calories and that pushes me away.
Ouch at least you got it out- something like that happened to my friend- turns out a fragment of glass was in her eye! She had to get it flushed out by a doctor though.
Have a good weekend!

You crack me up!!! LOL This (your eye sitch) is why I keep a small make-up bag in my desk overhead cabinet. One never knows when one will need to re-do in a major way. I keep it stocked with the old make-up that isn’t quite gone…you know, after you buy the new replacements? Don’t throw out the old; create a back-up stash for at work.
Oh, and try vitamin E supplements to curb TOM cravings.
