Does anyone else ever have those days where you are so scatterbrained you don't know which way is up? Today was one of those days. I got to work at my normal time (plus 15 minutes for an extra slap of the snooze) and got myself situated at my desk. I got up to go to the break area for my first cup of coffee of the day plus I needed to stash my non-guilty celery snack in the fridge. After I put my celery in the fridge, I went to set my coffee mug on the counter while grabbing the coffee pot. That's when I realized something (queue the ominous music). THAT was NOT my coffee cup. That was my cell phone. I know what you are thinking, that can't be a really easy mistake to make considering they aren't even close to being the same size, shape, color, etc... And the best part was, as I was standing there staring with confusion obviously written all over my face and a coffee pot in my hand all prepared to fix myself a phone of coffee, someone else was in there making use of the microwave. I think I made his day or at least provided him with something to chat to his friends about.
What could I do? Of course, bonk myself in the forehead with the palm of my hand and say "Whew, that could have been messy!" I put the coffee pot down, picked up my phone and scurried away. I went back about 10 minutes later to get my actual cup so I could avoid any possible run-in with the witness to my morning stupidity.
This week has been a total bust for eating healthy. I have not really stuck to counting points past lunch and have eaten out more than any person probably should. I've been justifying it as not wanting to waste any of my "good pounds" when I'm not doing the challenge yet. Next Tuesday will be the official start date of the weight-loss challenge. Then I will commit to being good for 2 whole months. This is probably not the way to think about this whole weight loss idea. Even after the challenge is complete I will have to continue to be good so I can achieve my goals. I found a picture of myself from my freshman year in college (a whopping 13 years ago) and may I say "Holy Cow! Who was that girl?" What a difference a desk job and a love of junk food can make. I will lose the weight and be healthier and more in shape than I have ever been in my life. How is that for a goal?
You can do it!!!!
