Happy Halloween
Well... emotionally it was a good day. Diet wise-- I sucked.
Started off good..... stayed faithful to Jenny until Trick or Treat time. I got a massage. It was so nice. Then I came home and hurried to straighten up the house since we were having friends over. It started with two bite size candy bars when no one was here to see me. Then 2 more. Then two pieces of pizza. The two peices of apple pie. Then my Jenny Craig popcorn snack. Arrrrgh. My husband is a saint. Despite the financial sacrifice my husband has made for me to be on Jenny Craig, he said not a word of criticism.
In all fairness, a month ago I could have eaten almost a whole large pizza by myself. I know myself though and once I start to cheat, I have a really hard time getting back on track. I just need to force myself to, I guess.
I got a call for a job interview for a quality manager at a LTAC (long term acute care hospital.) It would be about a 45 minute drive from here and would double my income. I don't really feel that qualified, but I am going to go for it anyways. On Wednsday I am giving a presentation for work on our agency to the Rotary Club. It will be the first time I have been asked to do a public speaking event for the agency I work at now. I feel ok about it, but am just a little nervous.
Tomorrow I need to get some homework done, get caught up on some work stuff, and get some exercise in. I probably won't get enough in to counteract all of the calories from tonight, but something is better than nothing.
I got a big kick out of watching the kids trick or treat. We got a lot of trick or treaters. Probably at least 100. Sitting outside with friends passing out candy was fun. It was one of the moments that hits you and all of a sudden you realize that you are really happy at that exact moment. Gotta go stir my roasting pumpkin seeds.
