Busy Saturday

So today, I'm trying to do the following:

- Laundry

- Study for two hours

- Pack an overnight bag

- Figure out my Points for today

- la la la la la

For it being a Saturday, start of a 3-day weekend, I'm a little overwhelmed... it's okay. Unofficially, I have lost eight pounds since Monday.

I have a reservation for dinner tonight with my lady at this place that's going to cost a lot. It's no bother for me because I love her to pieces.

I'm surprised how well I'm doing with the new Weight Watchers Momentum plan. It's working for me really well. They have this little chart in the booklet that tracks your hunger level (y-axis) and time (y-axis), which means everything I log, I also track the time I do. I have exercised (brisk walking) 3 times this week and I am getting ready to go out in a little bit for my fourth walk. Yesterday was the first time I used my Weekly points, having gone over by three on my Daily points for Friday.

I mapped out my eating for today. I have 32 Weekly points to use for today (and tomorrow) if I need them. I'm just trying to eat light (soup, veggies, coffee, coffee, eggs) up until the feast tonight. I'm not sure whether I want the barbeque chicken or a steak (www.rocky-point.com).

Right now, I'm hungry so I am thinking about going to make some eggs, toast an english muffin, get the salsa ready, and make some coffee.

Sunshine

Today's check-in:

It was good to have four days off. It was even better to be driving to work with what felt like sunshine on my shoulders. The four day break was good and I got a lot of stuff done. Not nearly enough, though. I still need to write this autobiographical statement.

My eating was good today, too. I'm proud of myself. My eating has primarily consisted of brew coffee and oatmeal for breakfast, a salad and Smartone's entree for lunch, and then I had some dumplings, more salad, and coffee for dinner. In between, I hit up sbux and got one of their tea infusions (it was supposed to be free due to buying a pound of coffee with my registered sbux card but I didn't get the discount). I didn't like this new drink and was expecting something with way more corn syrup than I got.

I did some snacking, consisting of bananas, the Weight Watcher cakes, and these delicious fudge pops that went on sale at Costco. I stuck within my points and I still have 1.5 left, which I am going to "spend" on Jell-O.

Overall, it's been a good day. Tomorrow's going to be hectic and I hope to get a lot of stuff done.

Big man on campus...

Bought some threads yesterday.

Went to the Casual Male XL by work and my usual favorite corporate coffee joint and picked up a XXL shirt with material that looks like silkish. Put on a tie and went to a job interview and, like Andy Bernard would say, "nailed it!" Totally fucking nailed it. It was awesome to hear my potential future employer gush over me and telling me how smart I am. I try to be modest, but girlfriend, I was totally stressing this out. I handled me some fucked up questions, though. Sho nuff. I hope to hear the good word next week. If I am offered the position, there's a potential snag that will probably make me not want to take it. I'll talk more about that later.

While at the office, the boss introduced me to a bunch of new social workers that the county had hired and had come to our office. Sure enough, one of them recognized me. Brownie was talking about networking on her blog... in my field, it's easy to do by proving yourself knowledgeable and professional. The girl that recognized me was also fawning on my awesomeness, stating how I had helped her greatly when calling up my organization and how helpful I was in providing information. That made my day.

With Stank-Breath gone, life has been good on main street. I actually look forward to going to work.

(This video has nothing to do with the aforementioned comment)

I'm stressed out right now. Eating has been bad, but I'm trying. I'm done with eating for today, minus the coffee I just brewed. I'm hoping to get decently caught up with my bio homework today. It's crazy how I'm stressing over this. It's not like I'm going to lose an arm or finger if I don't pass this class. I feel like that, though. I don't want to fail.

I'll start tracking again tomorrow. Stomach is back to handling twinkies and coffee again.
