Tough Work Week Ahead...Caution

Tonight's three hours was a drop in the bucket. For the next three days, I'm on from 11-7! Now is where the rubber meets the road! Now that the summer is nearly gone, I wonder what I was thinking when I took this job, but the fact is, I like it, it's just that now it's a little harder for me to keep up, but I know that will come. Once again, tomorrow, I'll be packing up my foods. I find myself tending to eat simpler things. Tomorrow I want to try that canned chicken with a little bit of fat free mayo and maybe some of that weight watcher's shredded cheese. The good thing about working is that I plan it all out. Today, I planned my day in meals and didn't stick to it. Thus, I ended up with fewer than 65 proteins. Not good.

So, tonight, I'm working, and as I walk by the laminator at the store, I see a bag of Pepperidge Farm cookies. You are never going to believe this. I reached for the bag! No! I'm not kidding! I stopped, caught myself, and was just blown away at how automatic that had nearly been. It's the first time since my surgery that I had that experience, and of course it really wasn't a temptation, nor was I hungry, but what a great example of how my impulses used to work!

I'm really loving my protein packed pudding, though. This pistacio is almost gone, then I have lots of other flavors, and I may try to mix in two scoops this time. I figure the more I pack in there, the better it will be, protein-wise.

I'm pretty tired tonight, heading off to bed in a few minutes. Just in case I don't blog in the next couple days, refer to the title of this blog...and stay tuned...
