DP says 1711 calories today.  Grrr....

Late start breakfast, 1/4 c granola with 2% milk and a drizzle of honey

Michelinas Salisbury Steak and potatoes dinner with 1 cup frozen peas

1 cup grapfruit sections

Olive Garden salad and not quite half of a portion of chicken alfredo. 

It's criminal how much salt and calories they pack into their entrees.  The chicken alfredo is 1400 calories and 2000+ mg of sodium.  Next time I will go with either just salad or have the salmon, which is 510 calories and looked so much healthier with the steamed broccoli and peppers on the side, and is what my son in law had. 

Because we went to dinner, I did not go to the gym today.  And because it was snowing when I got up, I did not go for my morning walk, either.  I passed up two offers of sweets at work and put away the chocolate bar that was left on my desk. 

A meeting with my manager today was both good and frustrating.  I had some suggestions for our upcoming team meeting, which he shot down completely in his usual fashion.  His attitude when I make suggestions is that I don't need to worry about such things, he will take care of it.  I asked him for specific input for increasing my month end scores for this month and he talked around it for about 60 seconds.  He said I was doing "a great job", and that the only way to increase any of my leadership scores would be for the team stats to rise, since he feels that every single one of my scores is directly related to team stats as a whole and have nothing to do with me.  Essentially he gave me no answer.  Anyway, in January and February some team stats rose and others fell, so he felt the months were a wash.  And then he put on his jacket and went home.  My meeting lasted 3 minutes.  Sigh...

So the only direction I have for this month is related to a specific rep, and I have been told my job is to ensure her stats meet quota, no excuses tolerated.  I think it can be done, one call at a time, but the price is that I have very little time to do the rest of my job and help the other 8 people on the team.   The joys of coaching.
