Today was my last day without an early morning obligation, so hubby let me sleep in. He took care of his own breakfast and lunch, and I didn't get up til after 10! I leisurely drank my coffee, then showered and did hair and make-up. I was called in to work 1-3:30 to orient a new employee even though Monday is the first of our workdays, new employees get caught up to speed before day 1. Pretty cool though because this guy was our long-term sub the last 6 weeks of last year, so no new tricks to learn from this ol' dog.
I picked up a large Wendy's chili and a water on my way. Ate that and the 6 saltines for my first meal of the day at 1pm. My son requested bbq'd chicken, vinegar and oil style, for supper. I forgot how long it took on the grill, and it didn't help that the propane tank went empty part way through. We JUST NOW finished supper at 10pm. It was a grand supper too because I had calories in the bank! I bought the smallest of the "real" baking potatoes...the kind they sell individually. I had a 10oz potato with fake butter and ff sour cream, steamed broccoli, 3oz chicken by the time it was done and picked off the bone, fresh pineapple, and a glass of wine. After all that, I still had calories left, so dessert was a sliced banana with a serving of reduced fat / no sugar added Bunny Tracks ice cream. It was SO good!!! Like a single serve banana split. Tomorrow I get my hair highlighted which always makes me feel good. It'll make me look like I actually spent time outside this summer...in all this heat?! I don't think so...
Good news!!! Hubby doesn't have to go to Japan next week afterall! Maybe in November, but I'm so happy and relieved he'll be here as I creep back into my pool of stressors. It'll make the food issue much easier if I know somebody has my back...so long as he doesn't lock my scales again!
