Guess I'm Doing Fine

Weight: 229.2lbs (-0.4)

So I've lit a little fire underneath my ass the last few days. It just took me blogging about those resumes to actually send them out, so that was one less thing preventing me from sleeping at night. And then I finally got my car serviced, finally emptied out my dishwasher (I usually just pull things out as needed), cleaned 90% of my kitchen (it got late), and did 2 (out of a million) loads of laundry. So yay me!

And one thing I didn't do today was eat fast food - this is a relatively proud moment for me. While I was waiting for my car to be serviced I had planned (ahead) to go to Second Cup and drink one of their new chillers and read L.A. Confidential (loved the movie.. love the book?). The strawberry chiller is fantastic and I wanted to try their mango one. BUT... it was a freakin' Starbucks instead! Bah humbug. I very much dislike my plans being disrupted, it leaves me without a solid footing... so thoughts started flying around my head, 'what in the world am I going to do now?' 'I might as well eat whatever I want because what I had planned is out of the question' 'there is a burger place right beside Starbucks...' etc. I even for a brief while considered going to the burger place and just having a grilled chicken sandwich... but I didn't even do that. I sat my ass down in Starbucks, got a passion iced tea drink and read my damn book. My mind did wander to that burger place pretty often just because when else would I have this easy/justified chance to cheat my diet? But I can honestly say I wasn't really craving any of that. So small victory, but essential to my staying within calories today (especially because today is a no-exercise day).

Hmm... although at the moment I am craving french fries... poutine in particular. Greasy, cheesy, gravy fries. Can't be beat (especially with mushrooms and bacon for some reason). Luckily, there is none of that to be had (and I wouldn't eat it anyway). And tomorrow is a movie date with a friend anyway. :) I'm either having popcorn or candy.... and going on a looong run in the morning to make up for any gorging that may occur. So it will all be okay.

And last but not least... I passed my certification exam! Woot! Woot!
