Oh gee. . . is it glaringly obvious that I haven't checked in to this thread in a while or what? Ha-ha. Anyway, I agree that it is so cool that Julz and I are 4th cousins. That is a pretty crazy coincidence.
I've promised her that if she ever makes her way to Chicago we'll definitely hang out.
I have a good reason for not checking in here for a while. On Thursday of last week I worked 13 1/2 hours straight. Ick. I obviously didn't make it to the gym. And, my eating from work's dinner buffet wasn't the best of good choices.
Friday I left work at 11am to head down to St. Louis for my best friend's wedding. I did relatively decent eating wise for that day. My dinner was broiled cod with a plain baked potato. I had chicken noodle soup as an appetizer.
Saturday I didn't have much in the way of healthy food options even offered to me. I settled for 1/2 of a bagel with low-fat cream cheese for breakfast. Lunch was 2 slices of cheese pizza. Dinner was tortellini in cream sauce - that was definitely the worst of it. I tried to keep mindful.
Sunday morning my family went to eat at Cracker Barrel. This is where I'm really proud of myself.
I ordered scrambled egg beaters, turkey sausage and a biscuit with honey. Though, I'll be the first to admit they brought me TWO biscuits and I ate them both. Bad Amber.
My boyfriend and I drove back mid-afternoon and we spent all night last night cleaning the condo. One of my other best friends is coming down from Canada to visit me for two days so I wanted the place spic and span. We're going out tonight to eat (for sushi thank goodness) and tomorrow night. I'm not sure what we're having tomorrow night but please Lord, let them not want anything in the way of Italian. I cannot eat healthy at an Italian restaurant.
Wednesday will be no-friends day and that will be nice. I love both of my best friends, but gee will it be nice to have my life back.
Anyway, I'm really swamped here at work so I better get back to it. I forgot to weigh myself today so I'll go with my weigh-in from Friday morning. It's only 1/2 lb. At least it's moving in the right direction.
Go
