Day 2

So I went to bed late from the horrible movie causing me to get up late this morning but I wasn't as tired as I usually feel and I didn't feel things aching and creaking when I got out of bed. Off to a good start I say.

Of course, I was super late and didn't get any breakfast so that was bad - did pack a packet of oatmeal but it has landed in some unknown abyss so I was starving.  Someone brought in donuts - I passed by them four times and did not even open the box.  I got called into a meeting at 11:00 (I was so hungry that I had planned to eat early today) it was over by 12:35 - ran back to my desk and a friend called (stomach now feels like it is eating itself).  I talked to him for a few minutes then advised that the cafeteria in my office closes at 1:00 and I need to grab something.  He let me go and I ran downstairs (I learned that the caf actually closes at 1:30). 

All the way down the stairs - I was sure that I would blow it.  I didn't - I made it past the donuts and through lunch - dinner should be a breeze (yea, right)!

Lunch was another salad AND (I told you I was hungry) a Boca Burger on a Wheat Bun with no cheese.  It wasn't horrible with a Fuze Goji Wild Berry drink to wash it down.

I may add more to this tonight as I am supposed to go to Chick Fil-A for a kid's fundraiser tonight.  I have a feeling that's going to be a toughie - does anyone know if there are vegan items at Chick Fil-A?

Are you vegan kidding me - Day 1

Today, I went vegan (diet only - I have said it before and I will say it again - I am not giving up my Coach purses or wallets).  My menu included:

• Orange Juice

• Salad with beans, hummus, garbanzo beans, carrots, olives, cucumbers, sunflower seeds topped with balsamic vinegar and soy sauce.  I actually put hot sauce on the hummus - interesting flavor.

• Baked sweet potato with cinnamon - earth balance butter

• Mini croissant

• 3 Oatmeal raisin cookies

I felt like I had more energy and I played 3 songs of Just Dance II with Kennedy and didn't have the urge to yell at Derrick.  I talked calmly to him and nothing irritated me.

When it was time for bed - I wasn't overly exhausted - but I turned on the news to check the weather and suckered into some horribly fake movie called Shoot 'em Up with Clive Owen and Paul Giamatti (both who have done much better work).
