Matt's birthday
So, Matt's birthday is today and we decided to go to Wheeling, WV this weekend to do a little gambling and to celebrate. We had fun but needless to say, I went off plan. I tracked all my food yesterday and still had a few flex points left but then we went out to breakfast today and by the time I returned home, I didn't have enough points to eat on for the rest of the day (despite ordering the Bob Evan's light breakfast!). I'm peeved but at the same time, I know that I've done very well up to this point and that I won't have birthdays or special celebrations all the time. I am proud that I limited myself to one margarita last night and one diet coke and rum when we went out to the bar. I just hope that the scale is forgiving tomorrow. I was down 4.2 lbs. as of yesterday. At this point in time, if I lose 2 lbs., I'll be happy. We shall see.

Food journal - Thursday, 8/26/10
Today just sucked. I don't talk about my job very much but right now I don't much care for it. I started my supervisor position in late April and it's been non-stop craziness since then.
Our company is owned by an investment company who doesn't want to own us any more than we want them to own us. The original owners, a family, sold the business a few years ago to this investment company before the economy tanked. We promised them so much revenue and then when the economy went in the shitter and our revenue suffered and we couldn't deliver, they started cutting everything they could to make their money. When I started there 12 years ago, we had nearly 70 employees. Now we have maybe 20. I haven't had a raise in 2 1/2 years, they don't 401K match any longer, and the volume of work we have to do is just insane. So...needless to say, people aren't happy and we're down nearly 3 employees. There are only 12 of us (that do our specific job) normally so to say we're stressed out is an understatement.
So...today was one of those insane days where I had NO time to exercise. I had a staff meeting in the morning, a business lunch, and then an hour long conference call this afternoon. I sure as hell hope that tomorrow is better than today was. I was *thinking* about logging in and doing some work but I'm so stressed and tired that I think I'm going to finish my second Sookie Stackhouse book that I have waiting back in my bedroom on my Nook. :)
