Took 10 min to make/eat breakfast this morning and was an hour late to work. But it was yum.
- Kale, chicken sausage, potatoes, 2 eggs
- 1 packet of trail mix
Didn't eat all day b/c I took adhd meds too close together
- Kale salad from TJ, with lentils
Later I will have:
- Kale, homemade turkey chili, 1/3 of a sweet potato packet from TJ, a little cheese
- A vanilla protein shake
- Greek yogurt with a little paleo granola.
A couple of people like a product idea I had and want to work on it. I am pretty stoked. It is really validating. I feel like a real authentic product manager now... I am amazed and joyful and I feel powerful.
My class was worth it.
Yay.

So you really must have enjoyed that trip if you want to go back so soon! nice!
How many people went & did you know them prior to the trip?
I am so sorry the dog is sick and ewwww all over your bed...what a piece of aggrivation...overall, you sound great. Chilli is tasty and satisfying! And healthy!
Was any meat in the chilli? i'd love a turkey chilli! I'll make it sometime!
cumin garlic chilli powder paprika
can of tomato paste 2 cans of tomatoes can of kidney beans
onion 2 red peppers celery
ground meat of your choice
YUM
No sleep ='s a missed workout last night and likely one tomorrow. This weekend I am hopefully headed out to go offroading in Moab with friends.
Brought a can of protein powder and a shaker to work today to help get myself back on track diet wise today. I just couldn't face eating food yesterday and forced stuff down anyway and was miserable all day. The downside of adhd meds... Sometimes you just don't want to eat no matter how hungry your body is.
Made a Seinfeld "Don't break the chain" habit builder for tuesdays and thursdays... Need to make them for the rest of the week. The idea is you make a chart of the habits you want to build and then color in the boxes green every day that you do them until you have a "chain" and you don't have to think about it anymore.
M1 - McDs. Hashbrown, diet coke, egg white turkey sausage bowl. I need to start remembering to order iced tea instead.

I was trying to read an article on focusing better but I got distracted. :-P
Made pulled pork sliders for the team at work to celebrate the end of my class.
Got into a huge fight with my dad last night. I was cleaning up the pork roast I made for them at 12:30am because I had forgotten about it and gone to bed then remembered it. He came in and wanted to know why I thought I was going to get laid off last week... and brought all my stress back up. I was like why would you ask me something like that in the middle of the night??? Why would you bring up all that stress and drama? It's the middle of the night and I need to go back to sleep. He blew up. He was basically mad at me for saying no to a request to drop him off at McDonalds when I had loaded up the car for my camping trip and had to leave right then to make it there before dark. Never mind that we don't want him going places alone.
So tired.

Hugs to all. Good to be human again. I am not sure what I was last week, but fully functional adult wasn't it. I am at least packaged up for a job search if I suddenly need it now. I have final copy for a personal site, polished resume, and a case study.
After final was over I ran home, grabbed my dog and went and met friends at a campsite. She does not like cold or being outside at all... but Sunday when it warmed up she was very happy to run up and down the creek looking for fish. 17 years old and still spry. Gave her a bath when we got back. She insisted on sleeping in teddy bear position for body heat and was all squishy cuddles. Some days are perfect days.

Tests always caused me HUGE anxiety.
Welcome back Happy Lady!
Nothing feels as good as enough sleep...
Blowing off my plans tonight and tomorrow to finish homework. Small aggravation of not having my phone with me today.
I signed up for the 60 day version of the 2 week challenge for my 60 day bootcamp. $69 but totally worth it.

good idea to do homework...i always hated hw too!...there's so many distractions at home when trying to do hw.
i used to sign up for online things by Pauline Nordon weightlifter and get motivation that way, but no longer have extra money to spend this way - i learned enough.
I think I would put homework as a higher priority than working out, if you are struggling to make a choice between the two. Having a group or workout class to attend must help a lot with time management. :-)
Fell off the wagon. Long road back.
Stayed up too late making hamburgers and chilli. I swear I can't figure out how to manage my time to get it all done.
Seriously want to blow off the workout tonight to get my homeork done. Ugh. I know I will feel better after I go but I am having an "overwhelm" spin of too much to do. Last day of class is Saturday.

Did the class, no energy... Poor showing.
Half dead and getting hounded by my dog for something. No idea what. We walked, she had a big dinner. We did ear scratches and tummy rubs. I'm 2 seconds away from turning her into a hat. Aaaaargh!

It's ok to fall off wagon. I'm a bit more off than i'd like due to sickness, so I am relaxing a bit and trying to be patient while my body gets back to it's normal self :-D
If you really need to do homework, it's ok to skip a workout...workouts are not always the end all, be all...even for me. as sickness will trump a workout pretty much any day in my book as i know that rest is what a sick body needs - not a workout which prolongs a cold / virus / unwell body / etc.
lol i have never heard of a dog fur hat too funny you Happy Girl! :)
Have a nice day, you'll be back on track. Don't worry and forgive yourself quickly!
Day off today to do will and other docs, plus retirement planning but am on the tail of weeks of no sleep and I am too punch drunk tired to do it. My brain is just rolling in my head. Went to the doc today and apparently going anerobic with exercise can cause insomnia.He gave me a prescripton for a sleep aid. Thank god.
M1 - Denver omlette, cottage cheese, tomato slices, diiet coke.
M2 - ONE PACKET of Trader Joes trail mix.

You need to ALREADY write your will? why so early!? aren't you around my age in your 30's? just asking ;) not trying to pick on you at all! just curious. :)
I like the over the counter sleep aids. I take them occasionally at least 1x per week but not a lot during the week bc they have lasting side effects and i tend to feel very tired the next day...and if i take them two days in a row during the work week, on the second day I am completely drowsy and exhausted. The good thing about them is on weekends, like tonight - i'll be able to sleep in REALLY LATE on Saturday.
Here's an article on it: http://abcnews.go.com/Business/PersonalFinance/story?id=5512108&page=1
Dear Trader Joes Trail Mix,
I know we have had a long history together. Any time I am a little down, you are there to pick me up again with your dark chocolate, dried cherries and pistachios... All that fruity, salty, nutty goodness. We had to separate for a while... I couldn't control myself and you were so calorie dense that I'd consume a week of calories in a sitting. When you were released in "Just a Handful" packets I thought maybe this was the change I had been waiting for... that we could finally be together again... but no... Old habits have reemerged and instead I just eat multiple packs. Also... you looked like 100 calorie packs... but I just looked at the label and you are really 400 calorie packs. There are 10 packs in a bag. Last night after dinner I consumed an extra 1300 calories without realizing it. These 6 extra lbs I gained the past 3 weeks are my badge of shame. I will go to crossfit tonight and try to save my BMI, if not my very soul.
Goodbye. Know that I will think about you all the time and miss you terribly.
We will always have my college metabolism.
Happy-1

lol a 400 cal pack is def way more than a 100 cal pack...you really had me laughing at this entry...glad you will NOT be buying them anymore because that's a serious waste of calories ... i'm sure it wasn't even that big a pack!
I buy tons of almonds and got used to eating them - i do not binge on them anymore as i've been getting used to them as a steady part of my diet. All food that i eat regularly I generally don't binge on - it's only when something is new that i occasionally fall to the trap but seriously learning not to anymore and really getting quite good at not binging.
anyways, the point should be about you - i am so glad you won't be buying them anymore..the only good thing was that they were really in smaller packages already...lol...but 400 anyways is sorta big for a snack!

Hopefully nobody noticed your lateness?
Breakfast sounds nice and tasty! Nice addition of the veggie, kale, into it! yum! was it cooked / sauteed kale!? how tasty!
1 packet trail mix = good job, Happy Lady! It's good to have a tasty portion of mix! YUM! I love eating my granola bars, pure nice rush of sugar, in the afternoon after work and before gym or before i run errands after work. Will prob have one today :-D
So explain to me these sweet potato packets from TJ's...i want to hear more as I am intrigued!
oh, so it IS turkey chilli! yum! girl you are doing GREAT!
I am so glad the class you took has benefited your resourcefulness at work! WAy to go! And the rest of it is you - be proud of you. Nice to feel good about your work! Congrats to you!
Donkey on 04/14/2017:
It's nice that you have that kind of job where you can be late and you don't have to hear about it. There would be some serious grumbling if I did that...I should try it sometime, just to see what would happen...
I'm guessing that a sweet potato packet from TJ is frozen sweet potatoes that you can microwave? My mom used those when she was losing weight and she liked them so much that they are a regular staple in her menus now! YUM!
