It’s Wednesday.  I weighed myself this morning and dropped a pound!  Yeah!  I was super good yesterday so that makes me really happy. 

I’m more active.  Well, I’m just beginning.  Every time I need to go to the bathroom at work, I climb the stairs to the next floor up and walk to the furthest bathroom.  I figure I usually go about five times a day, so that will be five times up the stairs.  I still can’t bring myself to walk down the stairs, so I take the elevator – one flight down.  Maybe one day.

I’m hoping that I can fit some walks in over my lunch hour soon.  I really don’t want to bring tennis shoes to work because I’m trying to clean out my desk.   I have so many excuses.  Maybe I need new tennis shoes.  Hmmm…..

I put a frozen Peanut Butter Bliss bar in my lunch bag this morning.  At lunch time, I cut it into six pieces and savored each piece.  Of course I wanted more, but - HAH!  I didn’t have any.  Victory of those delicious, but evil bars.  I have been so good today as well.  I am so back on track.  Hubby has gone golfing with his friends and it will be a “fend for yourself” night.   A Canadian bacon omelet is sounding pretty good.  I’ve definitely got the points, so I’m going for it.  I might even have piece of toast with some of that spray butter on it. 

Ok, speaking of sprays.  Has anyone tried the spray ranch dressing?  Zero points, but it is lacking some serious flavor.  I had to spray a lot more than I wanted too and I still barely tasted it.  It had the ranch flavor, but it was pretty weak.  I will still finish off the bottle, but I also bought some balsamic vinegar spray so I’ll some variety. 

Biggest Loser – did yall watch it?  Granted, it is motivating, but I never watched until just recently because I really feel that the show exploits obesity and humiliates the contestants as well.  Our WW leader always talks about it, so I watch it so that I know what she is talking about.   This show is telling/showing  America that losing 3 pounds, 4 pounds, and last night 9 pounds a week isn’t good enough.   That if you lose 100 pounds in seven weeks, you are a hero.  I hate to see the look of disappointment on the contestant’s faces when they have had a smaller loss than they expected.  I know that these contestants are medically supervised, but does the average viewer?  Does the average skinny viewer understand why myself or some other overweight person can’t lose 10+ a week?  What is this show telling our young people?  I have so many different emotions when it comes to this show. 

Hubby was supposed to call his mom on his way to golf (2 hour drive) and tell her that he doesn’t care if she talks to his ex wife, but he and I are off limits and she is not to discuss us or our activities in the future.  He wasn’t happy about it either.

I finished handicapping all the race cards, so we are good to go for tomorrow night. 

My boss still hasn’t moved on getting a replacement for me and hasn’t given me the go ahead to say anything to anyone.  My new boss and I met today.  He wanted me to put all the paperwork in place to have everything ready (computers, phones, other equipment) ready to go on November 9th.    This means end of day on November 6th, everything I use now will be turned off.   It takes about two weeks to get everything in motion and she needs to get on the ball or she will have some problems.  Oh well.  She pays me NOT to think.  She hates it when I take initiative or have independent thoughts.  So I will keep my mouth shut. 

Ok, I thought I didn’t have a lot to say today, but I guess I did.
