Interrupted
My Life Thus Far
Back To My Old Ways
As if being sick wasn't bad enough, I woke up this morning
with cramps. Didn't I just have a period? I hope this
isn't going to be a monthly occurrence. If there was a way
to end my period forever (without resorting to drastic
measures), I'd do it. It's the only thing I hate about
being a woman.
I lucked out at work tonight. I didn't have to close with
the princess. It's funny how I used to dread closing with
Tamara. Now I can't even remember why I used to dread it.
She's efficient and always helps with panty tables. More
than I get with this new chick.
As we were straightening the aforementioned panty tables,
Tamara asked me my opinion. She wanted to know what I
thought of Jamie (the princess). How I thought she was
fitting in and if I liked working for her. I had to be
honest. I told her all of my grievances in the most
diplomatic way possible (leaving out anything that I felt
was just me being touchy or irritable). Turns out I'm not
the only one that feels the same way. I didn't close at
all last week and apparently the girls that did close with
her had the same things to say - everything was left to
them and all Jamie did was chat, chat, chat. Not that we
don't all do that from time-to-time, but how hard is it to
straighten while you talk? Tamara said she'd talk to her
about it. Thank goodness.
I instated a new policy for myself and this past week it's
been working really well, except for tonight. I've decided
that I'm not going to eat anything after 9pm. I find that
sometimes late at night I have a tendency to snack too
much, which can quickly undo an otherwise good day. I
don't overeat, but I get pretty close to my daily calorie
requirement, which doesn't leave me with much of a
deficit. I've lost so much weight, but of course I'm not
satisfied. I want to lose more. However, tonight was the
first night I've had to work since instating this rule. I
didn't get my lunch break, so I didn't get a chance to eat
anything tonight. I burned 736 calories at the gym, I ate
670 calories before 9pm. I'm at a negative balance!
There's no way I can let that be all for the day. So, I'm
having something else. As much as I want to lose weight
I'm trying very hard not to revert back to my old ways.
Maybe on the nights I work (and don't get a lunch break
for whatever reason) I'll make an exception.
I was in a very sour mood most of the day, but after work
Snookie called me and we talked for over an hour. That man
always knows what to say to make me feel better :) 27 days
until he comes home. I'm getting excited! Not too excited
though. Everything is subject to change and I have to
always remember that for risk of being disappointed when
the ship's plans change (an unfortunate possibility). I'm
cautiously excited :) Ciao.
