At Work

I'm here at work, on lunch, and I am eating a salad and sandwich. I have been trying to be better about bringing my lunch. Last week, I did great! I brought it every day. BUT, for 2 days I went and got a baked potato instead. That wasn't a horrible decision, but I could have made a better decision and skipped the potato. The 3 weeks before that, I didn't bring my lunch at all. C started school, so my husband makes her lunch and his lunch, then I make mine. This keeps K and I in check. We have both agreed that taking our lunches will save a ton of money and we will both be healthier because of it. You would be surprised at how much crap people can eat at lunch. Then we justify it with how fast it is, how easy and convenient it is, how cheap it is.....lies. Its not fast. I can get out my sandwich stuff, make it and eat it in less time than it takes to get to the cafeteria or fast food place, order, then sit and eat. Bringing my lunch is way more convenient because I don't even really have to leave my desk to pull it out. I just have to leave my desk to clock out. LOL. And making a sandwich with fruit and carrots as sides is way better for me and really, its cheaper than the cafeteria here at work.

Speaking of work...I dread my 2 weeks of liquids here at work before my surgery. In the small office I have, I share it with 1-2 other people depending on who is working that day. We usually all eat in here together. That means I will be drinking my protein shake while they eat food in front of me. I wouldn't ever ask them to change what they are doing because of me. That would be selfish and rude. Plus, I have to get used to it anyways. Build up my confidence that I can resist the urge to eat what they are eating and do what I am supposed to do in order to get and stay healthy.....I am going to repeat that everyday of the liquid diet LOL

Hope you all had an amazing weekend, I died my hair....had to get rid of the grays. Yes, at 25 I have LOTS of gray hair. Its sad really. Sorry the pic is from so high, I had to do it so that you could see how much lighter it is...the light is weird in my office so the pic is too LOL.

Side note: blogging during lunch forces me to eat more slowly....I like that. Its something I will have to learn to do anyways.
