It's hard....

This week was difficult.
I had jury duty Mon- Thurs. I tried very hard to be a good American and do the right thing but it was hard because I had so much to do. It started making me grumpy. But then I would remember that this was someones life that I was making a decision about and I would feel guilty. On top of that I had Frappuccino training and Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Plus new extra responsibilities in the job.
All of this combined did not help my eating. At the courthouse I ate a lot of junk. The cafeteria did not have the best choices.
I have a cold now and feel like crap. At least it's helping me not eat too much. I'm taking a 2 hour break today and turning off all electronics. No laptop, no computer, no phone, no TV, no music. Just 2 hours of reading.

I walked the dogs yesterday for 2 miles. The weather is so gorgeous that I'm going to repeat that walk today. I am committing to using that treadmill again. With this extra stress I need to do something or I will just eat non-stop. Maybe it's time to go back to yoga! The Wii fit is getting kind of dusty also. Too many choices.

It Friday!

Wow! It seemed to get here fast this week. I was on Jury duty Wednesday and Thursday so it made the week kinda weird. I will remain in Jury duty all of next week and possibly the following week. The drag is that the job doesn't stop. It just means working in the evening and weekends. I have to go to Fresno on Sunday for training. At least I get Saturday as a day off :)
Food wasn't great this week. I didn't go nuts. I was very aware of what I ate and I walked the dogs every day except today (it was raining.) I walked them at least a mile and 2 days I did 2 miles. I'll get in 2 miles tomorrow but Sunday is out of the question. Next week I have to get the eating under control. No more girl scout cookies! I had my first glass of wine in 2 weeks on Thursday. It was delicious! I'm stuck on the Husch Pinot Noir. A little bit of heaven in a glass.
Since it is Friday, it is time to be grateful. I'm grateful I made it through another week. I'm grateful for my 2 sweet dogs. I'm grateful my managers are self sufficient and I don't worry about them when I can't be in the store. I'm grateful that I have a super comfortable bed and it's calling my name.....

I'm tired

Wow. It was a tough week back. Nothing bad just hard to catch up after being gone for a week. I am very happy it is Friday. I didn't get back on the diet but I did pretty good this week.... NO WINE or CHEESE. I don't know that I'll be drinking wine for a while. I did have a couple of beers/ciders the other night when I went out for a drink and then tonight I had a beer. Not too bad. The only bad thing I really ate all week was girl scout cookies. I bought some boxes of Thin MInts and I can't stop eating them. I should just toss them in the garbage but I can't. I love the thin mints.
This weekend I have to clean my filthy house. My suitcase is still on the floor wide open. CLothes piled places. The kitchen a mess. Uggghhh. I'm going to clean and pay bills. Maybe clean out the fridge and buy some good healthy food for this week.
Today as I was driving through Stockton I saw the guy in the pickle suit dancing on the side of the road. FOllowing that I saw the gal wearing the statue of liberty suit. Right away, I knew what I was grateful for this Friday. I am very grateful that I don't have that job! Whenever I feel frustrated with my job, I'm going to remember those folks and say a little prayer of thanks that I don't have to wear a costume and dance for cars :)
