OMG OMG OMG... ok guys I have to share this.. you all know I am a behaviorist and work with special needs individuals and I do training along those areas.  So we have been trying to convence this one regional center to let us provide the training for them.  Today I was asked to do training so like a good girl I show up to do the training... OMG OMG OMG... not one person in there was nota big wig of the RC.  I had executive directors, their assistants, department heads. You name it they were there.. I almost feel out of my chair.  Well... I made it through and got some great reviews but to say it wasnt a little intmidating would be a lie.  I even got a hand shake from the big guy and he wants me back doing more for him.  Now thats not a bad day.  So even though my days get crazy... the rewards of what I do are so awesome.  It gives meaning to why I do what I do. Knowing that I can help individuals with special needs to live more independent and happy lives is a good thing and something I am very proud of that I do.  Ok off the soap box and horn tooting for me... How are you all doing.. I am so glad it is my friday.  I am so ready for a break... way to crazy lately for me... anyway.  I tossed the cookies out but I am trying to learn to handle it with portion control so I did pack a couple small cookies in my lunch cause I knew I would be standing up and walking for 7 hours I knew Imight need that boost.  so not a bad day if I plan it in.  Heres what my day looks like Breakfast:

I will let you know later.. Man I am pooped. Carla

Wow what a day, I felt like I was running around with my clothes on fire, lots going on at work and I really was stressed, found myself wanting food all day.......not the best choices but thankfully my pouch controls the portions; pre-op it would of been a disaster.

Nice job Dana.  great numbersa all the way around for you. This is like a week of perfect sailing.. congrats.  Easter I think through us all off a bit and you are right back in the groove. Keep it up girl Carla

Carla, working at job that is so rewarding makes all the hard work and stress easier to deal with. I commend you for performing a job with special needs children. It is not the type of job that just anyone can or wants to do.

A little high today, had to stay home while furnace was installed and ran some errands later after they left....why or why I saw that chocolate and had to have some. Only positive thing was I didn't buy the large bag of peanut m&m's on sale. They use to be my downfall.


Sher

Look at you today.. wow on those calories.  the protein rocks.  How is the working out going.  Yes I have decided I will not buy anything anymore for just a treat.. I just cant handle it.. darn.  I really need to work on that aspect of my eating.  You had a great day.  Keep it up Carla

I saw that.. I hope they stick around the larger the fleet the better I always say.  YOu had another stellar day and almost broke the 1000 mark.. protein is rocking.. Hope you allergies are in control and you have a great weekend. Take care. Carla

I'm so tired I can hardly keep my head up right now but wanted to post my accountabilty..I worked really hard today. I sat at my desk all day long so I could balance one of the accounts. It was worth it but just had to go out for lunch and walk around Walmart..I even got 2 and a half miles of walking in today. Not too bad for a desk job.. Congrats on the success with the big wigs. It's so nice to be recognized for what you do. I just love it when they notice how hard I work and how thoughtful my job is for them.. Breakfast: oatmeal, tvp, soy milk, coffee (I made a special effort to drink more water today. I got in 72 ounces and not including the two cups of coffee I drank either).  Snack": 1 oz cheese stick and 1 roasted turkey slice, 8 multi grain crackers (1/2 serving) Lunch: 1 cup of chopped up chicken on a bed of chopped lettuce and 2/3 cup canned green peas. Caesar dressing.  Snack: Orange, 1 oz kettle corn Snack: 1/2 cup low fat cottage cheese, 12 oz V-8 Juice Dinner: 2.5 oz pork chop, 2/3 cup mashed potato, 2/3 cup canned corn Dessert: 1/4 cup dark chocolate edamame beans Totals for the day (I knew it was going to be low because I just ate what I wanted to and didn't force myself to eat more than I wanted) Calories: 1928 Fat; 73 Carbs; 190 Protein: 137 I'll try and do better but I'm so tired of eating..Going to bed now...Everyone is sick and coughing all over everywhere at work. I hope I don't get sick...That would flat suck!

It is a nice feeling for sure.. I know you work hard as well.. I have no clue about accounts and such so I commend you on that.  You almost did the 2000 mark and the numbers are great.  Dont kill youself trying to eat so much.. youre doing great.. Have a great friday and I will see you tomorrow Carla
