Here I am - feeling a bit lost as I have not been able to "visit" for the
past couple of days (and would you believe I cannot log on from work -
what's with that???)
Sorry to hear about everyone's car troubles....puppy woes and rumbly tumblies - hope all is rectified in short order.
Jane - please eat something - it will only get harder and you will get queasier if you don't eat - eat little bits of something and I hope you're drinking your water
Fulfig - how was the trip? Details please!!!
Welcome to all newcomers - it's so nice to see the thread so active!
I am very busy at my new job - mostly reading and getting up to speed on
what I am supposed to be doing. Also trying to get organized with files
and folders and labels and reading material. I am mostly settled in tho
(have my bunny pics and calendar up - still need to figure out how to hang
my diplomas?). I have a window seat - which is nice for the natural light
- however it is very CHILLY here - when I read my right side faces the
window area and gets very cold...left side seems better! The worse is I
don't have a pass yet so everytime I have to go pee (which is a lot)..I
need to borrow someone's pass so I can get back into the office.....highly
inconvenient, especially for a card carrying princess (have not flashed my
card here yet - don't think they will appreciate it...yet....
).
Had a meeting this pm - and had to walk to another building 10 mins away in
the freezing cold! (I did walk briskly so counting it as exercise!)
Have more meetings set up this week with all the team members (6 of them, 1
hour apiece) to find out what everyone here does.
I have moved into the kitchen with my coffee maker and decaf. Two big
fridges so I have been able to put my "emergency supplies" in there (sf
vanilla syrup, havarti cheese, sf jello, cans of tuna and of course my
daily lunch). I am in an office tower and there is a small shopping area
downstairs - I have checked it out. There is a bank, post office, dental
office, computer store, travel agency and a few "eateries"..one is chinese
food (maybe the veggies if I get desperate). There is a McDonald's which
will do in a pinch for lunch, and probably okay for breakfast too. There
is a coffee/bagel shop (did notice some syrups there not sure if any are
sf), and two other take out food places: one is a sandwich shop, but they
do have salad and grilled chicken salad so this would work. The other also
has salads, sandwiches and hot dishes/soup for takeout...some might be
acceptable as well (yesterday they had chicken stuffed w/broccoli and
cheese!).
I am trying to stick as close to induction as possible as I really need to
get on track and get rid of the cravings. I did gain about 1.5 lbs over
the romantic anniversary weekend (see weekend chat!) so I am desperately trying to get rid of that and then move forward to my VD goal.
Having some non-poopy issues so this is not helping!
I too was hungry this morning, and it's not PMS/TOM or anything...had to get my havarti out of the fridge and nibble on that even after my bowl of flax cereal which is usually very satisfying.
Had a great lunch I made at home.....made some "homemade" chicken soup: simmered one chicken breast in water with a bit of onion, sliced celery, a few sliced mushrooms, and some cut up bok choy - added some seasoning, and hauled the whole huge thing to work - almost like a chinese style chicken soup without the won tons or pork.....(cut up the chicken into the soup once it was done!)....
karen - congrats on the puppy - sounds like everyone is enjoying Sophie!
....and I LOVE CINNABON...or St. Cinammon's which we have here in the mall...just walking by is torture as you can smell it a mile away! YUMMY
Enuf - I'm starting to salivate all over the keyboard!
