Monday, stinking Monday!

Hello world. Yes, it was Monday and yes it was a stinky one. Okay, maybe that is a little too harsh. It could have been worse. I actually awoke feeling upbeat and full of energy. That was the first clue that the ill effects of the binge fest weekend before last were over. I got to work and had 2 scrambled eggs and a low carb energy drink. I usually get really hungry by lunch, but not today. I had zero appetite at lunch so I just had another low carb energy drink. Of course by the end of work I had gotten hungry and ate 4 pieces of sugar free candy. The same candy that warns of the green apple splatters if you eat too much. Fortunately, never have had an issue with that part of them. The bad thing was the 360 calories in just 4 fake peppermint patty candies. Still though, I only had about 540 calories at work.

The stress issues I was having last week about work were pretty much gone today. Besides the day dragging by, it actually was a decent day. I took inventory of the good and the bad of my job. The good stuff outweighed the bad. We'll see how it goes after my year end review this week :-)

Now I must discuss dinner. As always, when I skip meals at work I eat stupid at home. Tonight was no exception. Three double cheeseburgers with no bun (which wouldn't be horrible if I stopped there). I wasn't finished. I also had two breaded chicken patties. Remember the no flour and no sugar thing? Evidently I had a lapse in remembering it. If I just look at how many carbs I ate today, it wasn't a total loss. If I look at calories, we're talking utter failure. I can't beat myself up over it. One bright spot is that as I was going to enjoy a french fry...or two, Chloe spotted me and made me spit 'em out. She's so good in supporting her daddy in weak moments. If only I would have listened when she asked me if I really needed to eat all that food tonight. Oh well, tomorrow is a new day...and will be a better day! It's also weigh in day for me at work. Hoping for a loss from last week, but after the amount of food I ate tonight I'm a little worried. More to come tomorrow, goodnight.
