How did your challenge go today?


Wonderful workout, wimpy, or whacked out?


How about water and food?

I figured it is 8:15 and we need to do this or I won't post until tomorrow and I forget half of what happened today.

The weather is nasty and so was my day. My boss is definitely not on my favorite person list at the moment and yes, I would like to send him to another planet. I've decided instead of me trying to find an island I think there needs to be a special place devoted to stupid boys...as DD also says whine, bi**ch, moan, complain-repeat-that seemed to be the theme of the afternoon. Slamming of briefcases, slamming of doors and more than one of us would have like to have locked him in his office for a time out. Then he passes me in the hall all nice and smiley. I swear I'm going to lace his coffee with something or perhaps a TV show-As the Mood Swings. Yes, work wasn't the best place to be for me today and maybe a cup of Margo's Tension Tamer tea would have been a good option this afternoon.

It's raining here so no walk for Otto and I this evening. And yet, again, another evening with a lunch box invasion. I think the other XY in my life needs to learn to put his lunchbox in a location inaccessible to the 4 legged one. Not sure what he got this evening and DH just can't imagine how he's getting in...put the d*m* thing away!

But on a brighter note I was tempted to not go ahead with a workout and instead maybe find a spoon and a carton of ice cream but I thought maybe letting out a bit of aggression would be a better option. Used my Boot Camp DVD and it's got some jabs and upper cuts in there not too many guesses whose face I was visualizing! So 40 minutes later I had worked up a good sweat and feeling a bit better at least about myself. I also succeeded in staying away from the muffins and donut invasion that landed in the office today. I've been very good about my BLT's this week-normally I would be picking at one or the other during the course of the day but I succeeded in keeping out.

Water-50+ oz, Push ups accomplished

Breakfast-Kashi Island Harvest Vanilla Wheat Squares with craisins & a banana, whole grain toast w/ 1/2 Tbsp of peanut butter, oj and coffee.

Welcome to H*** cup of green tea

Snack-Light Babybell cheese and an apple

Lunch-3 slices of turkey on whole grain bread with mustard, lettuce & tomato, baby carrots w/hummus, 6 scoop tortilla chips with salsa, Kashi cherry dark chocolate bar

Snack-medicinal piece of dark chocolate, strawberry banana yogart w/strawberries

Dinner-Stir fried pork tenderloin w/veggies in a bit of a spicy sauce over lomein noodles.

Snack-fresh mango & cantalope

Karen-congratulations to the kids on their school success. Hope things work out for your DH's company. And, no I would never survive having my husband around all the time. I was very happy when the boys went to Sears together this evening!

Margie-so glad to hear your bp is doing well!

Margo-I've been taking the stairs at work as well. I'm glad we're only on the 2nd floor. The stairs are quite steep and I always seem to be huffing and puffing by the time I reach the top!

Patty-want to help me find a special planet?

Well I guess before my hair dries in it's current state I'd better go make use of my blow dryer and make myself presentable for what lies in wait for me tomorrow!

Hope you've all enjoyed a good day and pleasant dreams to all!

I honestly thought my day was going to be pretty calm and organized well guess what....NOT! Boss never went to that morning meeting so he stayed and tormented us until 11:01 then headed over to the closing. It was only 3 blocks away and our client was delayed because of trouble with the walk through. He finished it up fast and was back by 12:30. I disappeared out of there to have my lunch and visit with Tiger. He had a bite or two of plain tuna fish, just little nibbles. I called to vet and told him he did great yesterday with keeping his chicken down and this morning about 45 minutes after he ate he threw it up again. So now the game plan is on Friday morning I have to bring him in at 8:30 and they are going to that other x-ray test with the dye, if he is not better tomorrow. Went back to the office and it got crazy. My desk had files on top, to the side, underneath...oh boy was a mess. I was getting totally fustrated between the phones ringing and trying to work and organize stuff I was not doing a good job.
