Day 52
Hi everyone- Missed you today!!Thanks for all the great comments- That was the first thing I did when I got home.Work was great. Always great to be in a place where you are well liked, know what I’m sayin? I was able to get my phone up and working but no computer yet. Took 2 courses in the new area I will be working in- more refresher, as I use to do this type of job with another company. Also sat in on 2 classes, that are rolling out a new computer system company wide. I’m trying to land a desk close to a window- I have to be strategic, and it looks like it’s working. Working for 8 hrs did actually poop me out. Toward the end of the day, I wanted to nap. lol Food wise- Breakfast was a small banana and my protein drink, I ate a large salad I made from the grocery store for lunch , had a yogurt( 100 cals) in the afternoon. Some(9) rice cake snacks on the drive home. Plenty of water, then shrimp cocktail for DH and I, and a porterhouse steak, broiled, with a heaping pile of broccoli. Definitely got my protein today. Left the table comfy and satiated.I still have left over calories( like 400) and may have a little( 100 cals) dessert later. If I can repeat my intake, minus the blue cheese dressing (but boy was it good) I will be much happier. I feel good after that meal. I did walk a lot at work. Just inside around the building, but none the less, it was walking. I should wear my pedometer, and just see how far I go. Not sure how weigh in will go tomorrow, but after todays food choices, I can hope for better numbers next week. Thanks again blog friends. Hope you all had a great day!
Ah, I’m so glad you had a good first day! I’m a little jealous. I think it would be fun to be around some other adults occasionally. I guess this whole blogging thing is the way I connect to “adult world.”
Great idea for having some rice cakes in the car with you for your ride home. If only I kept something other than chocolate candy in my car…I could avoid a lot of calories…
Anyway, your menu for the day sounds VERY yummy, and so you get an A+ for your food today!!
That’s cool that you’re getting a lot of walking in while you’re at work. You’ll probably adjust to all of the extra stimuli by next week, and maybe you won’t need that afternoon nap that you were wishing for today.
Glad your day went well. Hope tomorrow goes even better!! Do you plan to post weigh in results in the morning before work, or after you get home in the evening? Just wondering, cause I know I’ll be looking forward to your post in the morning…
Wow, terrific you actually are writing about your first day back at work. Fabulous! Yeah, wear the pedometer, and maybe you could set yourself mileage goals? I’m sure it looks very productive at the office, with you shooting about.
Life is Gym !
congratulations on a great first day!
Sandy,
good job and I look forward to your numbers for the week.
I am happy you had a good first day, i would not be surprised if your weight starts dropping off a bit faster now too. all of the extra movement and the fact that you were “pooped” proves you are doing more
As Ever
