Week um.....

To make my life easier...let's go with whatever week I'm in officiall with Weight Watchers and since I'm too lazy to look that up right now...I don't give a poop.

Let's see what is new this week? Trying to get back on track. After my last blog I got a really encouraging message on facebook from one of my professors from college. I now work in the same college by a turn of the fates. I saw my return to work there as one of my biggest failures in my life. I graduated from a program, lasted two years in the advertising industry and came running back home. It was there that I got one of the best compliments from one of my newspaper sales reps. She told me I was "too sweet" to make it but insisted on giving me a letter of reference. For the longest time I saw my new career as a failure. Now thanks to your message Cathy, I am able to see it for what it is; one of my biggests successes of my life. I am happy in my job. I love working at the college. It had been a part of my life for going on 25 years (my father worked there too) and I am happy to be giving back in some small way. I'm trying to be more easy going, giving into chaos. Who cares if things aren't as I planned (even though I am anal to the point of OCD...I even make phone scripts for some calls)...I'll get to where I want and be happy...eventually. Sometimes you forget that. I will get back to the gym and maybe I won't look like I once did but I'll be happy.

Had only one day of "oopsy" this week. Went out for lunch with Mom and even though we went to Swiss Chalet and I ordered the chicken on a kaiser and salad, said no to dessert....later in the day I allowed my Mom to buy me a chocolate bar. In my defence...do you know how long it has been since I've had a Wunderbar?!? I said no later to an iced coffee. Baby steps.

Speaking of baby steps. Getting my exercise in chasing James everywhere. He's walking around the perimiter of rooms. He's crawling across them and giving me heart attacks everywhere we go. I'm in trouble in the future I think. What does it mean when you say "No-no James" and in return you get a look over the shoulder with a grin? Oh crap.

Here's yesterday's journal. I may have missed some BLT's (bites, licks and tastes of James's snacks) here and there working on dropping those out of my daily eating.
