I woke up this morning and goofed around on MFP, read a little bit of the Bible and wrote a quick blog post. I wanted to write more, but I had to get up and get out the door. I clocked in to work at 6:57am (which rolled back to 6:54am) so I'll be able to clock out at 3:21pm (which will roll to 3:24pm) to get to circuit at 3:30 and still hit all my hours appropriately.

I need to do more strength training...

Hannah can't make it to circuit today. :(

My cube mate is going on vacation next week. :( #foreveralone

Last night I went to counselling with mom and expressed to the counselling lady that it's not my relationship with mom that needs help, it's my relationship with myself. I disguised a lot of what I said with humor, but I still said it. So we have an appointment in 2 weeks... Not super looking forward to it but... eh... this is what I gotta do I guess...

Then Mom and I went out to Chili's and I ordered something from their "lighter choices" menu that was just slightly less than how many calories I had left for the day. It was a grilled chicken breast with a strong lime flavor over black beans and a bit of rice. I liked it. I logged it when I got home and HOLY CRAP SODIUM. o_O #allthesodium Granted the dish was great for protein, and there was no sugar, but DANG that's a lot of sodium, lol.

The higher-ups are cracking down on employees walking down to the cafeteria to get food. The older employees reassure me that it's just a phase and that they're constantly going back and forth between wanting you to do overtime, and then getting really stickler-y about not wasting company time. Unfortunately it seems that some people were spending too much time down at the cafeteria, and now we're all paying for it. #howfrustrating

Ah, right... so tonight is Ash Wednesday... customarily, people will make some kind of sacrifice for the Lent season... I'm thinking I need to put more emphasis on how often I randomly go to restaurants on my own. I need to cut back on that. It's not good for clean eating, and it's not good for my wallet.

If going to a restaurant is a special occasion with Brett or a friend or a family member, or if I'm in a hurry and need to grab something and I don't have an alternative, that makes sense, but when I could just as easily go home and make something healthy, then I'm just sabotaging myself.

Also - Bring straws to work.
