Well, the great news is my husband, who's been unemployed/underemployed for 3 years, got two job offers today and another second interview! Wooohoooooooo!!!
SOOOOOOO, I decided to surprise him with a little "celebration" by buying chocolate cake with chocolate icing and champagne (the cheap versions!)
Well, the not-so-great-news is that I then proceeded to drink the champagne and eat a piece of cake. The precursor to the story is that he called me at work, before lunch, and since today was the first day back at the college, my colleagues and I traditionally go out to lunch... well ... we ate at a local restaurant, they didn't have a calorie count on the menu (or an available one when I asked) and I went ahead and had 630 calories in my meal!!!
That plus the cake and the booze ... well, I can say it was worth it, but I definitely have to consider what happens when I feel the need to celebrate. I don't need to have another 2300 calorie day!!! But on the flip side, I did have to wake up unusually early this morning, and I did so. I also did about 15 minutes of stretching and strength. I had actually prepacked my meals for breakfast and lunch on Sunday night ... but I guess I just didn't want to resist. The other good news is that our college president did not act as much a fool or insult us too badly during his annual speech. I was ready for him though -- my Stress Busters techniques were fully employed!
Anyways, I just wanted to share what happened today. I'm ok. I made a choice and I have to live with the consequences.
I'M WORKING WITH PURPOSE TO ACHIEVE MY GOAL!!!
DAILY AFFIRMATION: "I love to move my body! I feel fat burning off of me with the heat of a supernova! I eat the right amount of calories and healthy foods, and I am healthy, happy, and stress free!"
