So 3.6 pounds up since the end of the last blog isn't too tragic.  Of course I'd love to have been able to keep it going and be down another 10-15 pounds by now especially since that would put me under 200 pounds which is a milestone I have been wanting for a really long time (way too long, honestly).  I'm not even going to say that is my goal for this month's blog because maybe I'm psyching myself out with that number.  I just need to keep doing what I know works and concentrate on my actions and not on the numbers.  Right.  Easier said than done. 

I started today motivated by really wanting to lose that 3.6 pounds the first day and being back to where I ended to get going on this month (hey, I lost 3.4 pounds the first day last time).  I'm going to end the suspense right now and tell you that didn't happen.  I had yogurt for breakfast which is a good habit I picked up last month that worked for me, tried to refill my water whenever I noticed it was out which also kept me from being too hungry at my desk.  It was friday so the department goes to lunch together and this time they picked taco bell (of course, taco bell on my first day).  They did have a diet menu which didn't make me feel too much better since diet at taco bell probably just means under 1000 calories.  But I made the best choice I could and it actually turned out pretty good when I got back to my desk and looked up the calories.  The fresco chicken burrito is only 350 calories and the small strawberry fruitista is another 250 calories.  With only 120 calories for breakfast 600 for lunch is still pretty good. 

After work I had to drive to t-mobile to put my foot in someone's ass about my phone not doing half of what I'm paying for.  And after the 30 minute drive to pick Logan up I had to drive another hour before getting to t-mobile which then turned out to be Radio Shack with a T-mobile authorized dealer and the authorized person was not working yesterday.  The poor clerk at Radio Shack probably didn't deserve all the things I said to him but needless to say after I was done he attempted and failed to fix my phone.  He told me that I needed to go to a real T-mobile store to get a new sim card.  Right!!  When I switched from my blackberry to my current phone and they assured me they were copying everything over from my old sim card to my new sim card and handed me a phone with no contacts or pics or videos or texts I think I may have had a small heart attack.  But now I'm 45 pounds lighter so I'm not so concerned about the heart attack :) but more concerned about me breaking out some ninja type moves on the workers and innocent bystanders so I just went home instead.  I dug out my usb cord (way more complicated than it sounds since like I said yesterday I am not unpacked yet), moved all my pics/videos/contacts on to my computer, then went to T-mobile first thing this morning (apparantly there is one right across the street from my house....awesome that I wasted half a tank of gas yesterday!!).

What was I talking about?  Oh yeah, weight loss.  So after driving around all of Illinois and digging through boxes and figuring out how to move my info on to my computer it was 7:45pm and I did not feel like cooking.  So I ordered Dominos (having deja vu here too about not being prepared for these situations and calling Dominos).  I ate 3 pieces of pizza and 3 hotwings!!  And 2 glasses of rootbeer.  Then I fell asleep around 915pm.  Not a good start.  Not a good start at all.......
