Did your day go as planned? Healthy eating? Working out or taking the day off? Vitamins taken with lots of water to go with them? Tell us about your day...

Exhausted. *sigh*


Thank goodness the week ended.

The day actually went pretty well. The mood wheel at work has turned in the opposite direction...maybe the planets have realigned...or maybe he just realized that he's been a jerk...whatever the reason he's been tippy toeing around me and he was standing in front of my desk today and apparently having a problem with a pin in his tie and looking for someone to snip it for him. He was going to ask me to do and said that he realized he probably wouldn't want me that near to his neck with a pair of scissors...what insight. I actually didn't even have my scissors in my drawer...yes I do have a pair of scissors usually close by-used to have a letter opener too...but that disappeared and perhaps someone removed my scissors as well. In any event, no apology for his behavior of which a lot was directed at me but I've been there and done that a lot and there's never ever getting used to it. Now that that 'tude has changed the one at home remains the same. They have a lot of similar traits which frightens me a lot. If it wasn't the fact that they're not the same age I would swear they were twins separated at birth.

I actually got out of work 45 minutes early. He let the clerical staff go home. Maybe that was his way of an apology. Whatever the reason it was nice. I came home and pulled out my Wii and did 30 minutes of a flexibility workout with the Personal Trainer and about 15 minutes with the Wii Fit. I've had about 40 oz of water and all my vitamins taken. Still have to remember to take the last of my prescriptions before heading to bed this evening.

The weather here has been really nasty. Although listening to those of you still facing snow I'll take the dismal rain. We've had torrential downpours and then almost to the point of the sun coming out. The fog has moved in now and it's yucky out there.

Healthy eating was a little on the wobbly side today.

Breakfast-oatmeal w/craisins and a banana, w/g toast w/peanut butter, oj & coffee

Workday morning cup of green tea and had part of a bagel which I usually try not to indulge in on the Friday office bagel day.

Snack-almonds

Lunch-egg white omlette w/sauteed mushrooms, low fat shredded cheddar cheese, skim milk, apple

Snack-Light & Fit blueberry yogart w/strawberries

Dinner- 1 1/2 slices of pizza, garlic knot, green salad w/balsamic vinegar.

I have to say I'm still hungry this evening for whatever reason but if I decided to have something I think it's going to be some of the cantalope & mango I have cut up in the fridge.

I'm going to head upstairs and to the comfort of my chair and perhaps do some reading and TV watching for the evening. Hope your day has been a good one.

I so understand the contrary coworker and how it it can really effect everyone in their path. It's so exhausting...

Hey ladies, it is pouring rain here on Long Island, not fit for man or duck if you ask me. I am so glad today was my day off. I did some cleaning and organanizing but not like I usually do. I managed to get several loads of laundry done, I did scrub one bathroom, I dusted the bedrooms and the livingroom and I cleaned out the closet in our livingroom that houses stuff.......got some coats to give to GoodWill, found some books to give away, organized some folders, put away the bin with the hats and gloves(living on the edge here), and I pulled out the last 8 years worth of tax stuff that I will go through tomorrow and shred some papers with account numbers and toss other things. Just hold on to the actual filed taxes. I picked up Tiger from the vet at 5:00, well I got to the vet at 5:00 but I had to wait a while so the vet could talk to me and go over the x-ray. It was confusing, but it ruled out no blockage or foriegn body in him. His colon has some shaded areas and the vet thinks
