I am just all over the place today. First I forget my eyeglasses at home (good thing I keep a pair at work). Then I realize I forgot my armband too. WTF?!?!? That means I will not see my activity for the day. Color me pissed off. I love that thing. I love seeing the good the bad and the ugly. Oh I almost forgot to mention that I forgot my breakfast and lunch on the counter.
Yesterday was the ugly. I don't exercise on Tuesday, because I am taking a certification course that does not end until 9 pm. By the time I get home it is almost 10...it's just not going to happen. Well on my way to the class yesterday I was starving. I stopped at Potbelly's...yes I can still eat bread. So I'm eating my delicious sandwich when I get stuck. Ha...do I stop eating....NOPE!!! That sandwich was good. I slow down...give myself a little wiggle to help the blockage go away...and then just like that I'm back to scarfing that sandwich like a fat woman sitting at the table for Thanksgiving dinner.
I get full off the sandwich...but do I just leave. Nah...that would make to much sense. I stop at the counter and order a damn Oreo milkshake people. I such a foolish bandster. I was full...there was no room for this damn shake. But I get it anyway.
In class I let it melt and I start to sip it. The problem is I'm still full. But not wanting to be wasteful...I continue to sip until I am utterly uncomfortable. I wait...then I sip some more. I finished it. Yes I did. Stupid. So the remainder of the class I'm jittery because I'm stuffed like a pig.
Then I get home and log every freaking calorie. It was not pretty people!! I moved enough yesterday to still have a calorie deficit. But it was only 353. LOL...I like having a calorie deficit in the thousands.
Then...oh...this crappy day gets better. I call a co-worker to check on her son. She proceeds to tell me that her sources are 99% sure there will be a government shutdown and we will not receive at least 2 paychecks. Sorry...but that ain't even gonna work for me. We have been trying to pay down debt so we are living check to check these days. Then when you add in the fact that all of your household income comes from the federal government you have a understanding of what it feels like to be screwed!!!!!
So here I am at work..not being happy...and not having my trusty armband to count my steps and heart rate. Oh well. A good friend of mine would always say...This too shall pass!!!

Dang! My parents are federal employees too and they are worried. What is crazy is that I bet DC keeps getting paid while everyone else is screwed. I hope you have a better day and that the budget crap passes. BTW, how much is the monthly subscription to the body bugg?
Well this just sucks! On so many levels. But.. your friend is right, though that doesn't necessarily help right this second. I've totally been there on the eating past where I'm full place - why do we do this to ourselves? Today is a better day - one moment at a time. Good luck!
I'm so sorry Dawnya. That really stinks, especially about the potential for not receiving your pay. That would be really difficult for me too. Keep posting!
I am so sorry for the paychecks. I work for state government and have had delayed paychecks in the past when we are waiting for our budget to pass. It's really tough.
As far as the splurge yesterday...keep in mind that it was only one day. The damage is already done and cannot be taken back. Good for you recording it all though. Just get back on track today and do your best. That's all each of us can do.
On an unrelated note, your blog "voice" is so much fun. I really enjoy your entries.
Ugh...sorry you had such a bad day...tomorrow is another day...take some deep breaths and start fresh tomorrow. HUGS
Honey, I'm praying for you and that everything gets straightened out ASAP. My prayers are with you and just so you know, we ALL have days like your sandwich and milkshake day. I am jealous you can still eat bread. I would sell my brother for a bagel.
