Best quote ever

My supervisor to me:

"Thanks for staying late today. If you were getting paid I would say you need a raise."

ahh... Its so sad its funny. 

Like my pancakes?

boca meatless chicken patties

dinner

here's what i had for dinner.
vitamin water
lean cuisine pizza
honeydew melon
salad



here's what was left after i got full

groceries

Today I went to the grocery store and stocked up on the following:

Cereal (same as before, just wanna stock up)

skim milk

bananas

honeydew melon

green apples (to replace celery in tuna, can't eat celery for another medical reason)

red grapes (2 bags! they were like $8 each!!! yikes! but i should be set for a while)

3 premade salad bowls (went to 2 stores and couldn't find the one i had last night)

Lean cuisine pizza and lean cuisine veggie eggrolls(they get crispy in the oven)

kashi granola bars

tuna

and of course vitamin water

and thats it! i will say though my only splurge was i bought some bubble gum. i have an oral fixation. and it helps to have something to chew on after dinner. keeps me from eating again.

New

ok new year.
new job.
new slate.


today i had a bowl and a half of this really healthy cereal and vitamin water. the cereal was actually not bad at all. i liked it.

then for lunch i had tuna with celery on whole wheat with a banana and vitamin water.

and nothing else! no snacks, no candies. just breakfast and lunch! :) maybe its because i kept SUPER busy today.

and now its 8. ed is taking a nap. but i'm eating a salad with a lean cuisine pizza and vitamin water. i love vitamin water, what can i say? lol. if that doesn't hold me, i have some unsalted saltines.

i can't believe how well i'm doing today. and i was so tempted tonight. ed and i were at the drive thru at the pharmacy for almost an hour and there was a kfc right there. and on the way back ed was like we should get dinner. and there's a kfc, mcdonalds, boston market, and taco bell all on the way home. ahhh!! but i was like no, i'm being good. and he was was like oh no no no forget i said anything, you're a good girl. :)

i just need to stick to some sort of routine. the hardest part will be if i get hungry later tonight. i don't know what i can snack on that will be healthy. i'm not too hungry during the day. like by the time i get hungry again its time to eat. and it makes me really enjoy my food. every bite.

ok i'm off to have dinner! :)

(a little tip: to dress up the lean cuisine pizza i add a little red pepper flakes and cook it slightly in the microwave then transfer it to the oven. comes out nice and crunchy)

*update* had a late night snack at 10:30. 1 string cheese and a small individual cup of unsweetened applesauce. that helped.

this place is merely a shell of its former glory. its quite sad really how run down its become compared to what it was in the 80s.










here was my set up. i was playing xmas music and chatting. this little girl liked the computer because she kept coming by to say hi.
