It was another long, tiring, emotional day at the office. Though no blow- ups occurred the tension was unbearable. At one point it seemed like it may have passed. We were not that lucky. The letter came suspending my fellow employee without pay for one day. I'm appalled. Thankfully she handled herself with grace and dignity. Especially given the fact that she was not the one that deserved a reprimand.
The end of the day could not come quick enough to suit me. I think that we all felt the same way. This situation is just not right. Our hands are tied though. The economy is bad. If we do anything- the next bad decision could be one made against us....
My diet went fine. Oatmeal for breakfast. Salad and yogurt for lunch, salad and fruit salad for dinner; again, no time for snacks- not that I gave it a second thought.
I do want to mention that bad breath seems to have taken me over. No one has said anything but I feel like my breath is bad even though I brush my teeth etc. I've been chewing gum but I think that I am going to pick up a small bottle of Listerine to keep at my desk. I bring this up because, not only did this occur with me suddenly, but several fellow dieters have mentioned the issue as well. It needs to be addressed obviously, no one wants to have it and certainly being on the other end is no fun either. My answer for now is extra mouthwash. I'll keep you informed. Remember, I promised to talk about everything I learn as I go along. ;-)
My Blairstown BFF came in tonight for a night out at karaoke. My high school prom date came as well. They are not a couple. Blairstown is married. Prom Date is single but looking. Anyway, hubby, myself, my prom date and Blairstown BFF went out and had such a fun night! I am proud to report that I had two bottles of water the entire evening and drove everyone as the volunteer 'designated driver.' How cool is that? I came up with the battle plan on my way home from work. We got in about 2am. Prom Date sleeps on the air mattress made up in the livingroom, Blairstown sleeps in my son's old room and of course Hubby and I will be in our usual spot in the Master Bedroom. It was so much fun!
I just want to take a moment to mention that I weigh in on the 5th as I have each month since the Blog started. I do not want to be about the number as I've stated, but will use it to monitor the progress for you. The progress feels slow and as you've read, I'm far from perfect.But the number is going in the right direction even if I think it isn't fast enough.
My Christmas Party is here at my house on Dec. 20 so that my son can be here and visit with our loved ones, friends and family. I'm really going to try to remain stead fast and focused until that day; at which time I'm not dumb enough to think that I won't cheat. See if you can get that far without cheating too. If you can't it's not worth beating yourself up over, but do try. Set a goal and reach for it even if it isn't this one. It's my new trial battle plan.
I'll sign off now reminding us that we look as good as we can for today. Tomorrow we will look that much better. Do not let your perception of your body stand in the way of you having a good time. Stay positive. See you next blog...WITH the dreaded number....
