I'm so proud...
of me!!!! well not for the spelling in my last post. but because i'm awesome!
Why am i awesome??? Pft like you need to ask. But I'll tell ya anyways
Today I had a hell=ish day in work. you know one of those days where everything you pick up is not straightforward? yeah my day was kinda like that.
My boss left today (1 months notice given, 1 day taken). We have a new regional manager over from Australia for 3 months because our companies adminstration practices are somewhat confusing. Everything we were trained in 6 months ago before the store opened is incorrect, long winded and unnecessary (hell i knew that on the 2nd day but heh it's a job) So we are getting a shake up. Which is good. But difficult when you are trying to go about your daily tasks as normal and deal with change and rectify mistakes they are picking up in the last 6 months and doing your boss's job and blah blah blah
But that's not the reason i'm awesome.
So the OH is away. I slept in this morning so no time to prepare healthy nutritious breakfast lunch or dinner. Grabbed 2 pancakes (total cals 300 as per my diet) for breakfast, beans on wholemeal toast (total cals 400 as per my diet) and drank water. Driving home, stressed, tired and hungry I pondered on what to have for dinner. Normally - junk food, fast food anything quick and easy.
I drove past KFC. I drove past McDondalds. I drove past Pizzarella (the nicest pizza place in northern ireland). I drove past 3 chippies a chinese and another McDonalds (i drive through Glengormley the fast food capital of Northern Ireland) I stopped of to get cigarettes...bypassed Subway, bypassed the crisps dips and chocolate isle and picked up some wholemeal rolls. Got home.
Made a veggie burger with ketchup. mustard and 1 slice cheddar cheese. and a huge salad.
Check me! I'm awesome. For the first time EVER in the face of tiredness hunger and stress, i managed to make the right choice. Anytime i've been on a diet in the past i've still struggled with this hurdle. And failed. And promised to make it up tomorrow.
Still, the first weigh in tomorrow morning so wish me luck
