First week back to work

First week back to work Share  Saturday, May 22, 2010 at 8:29am | Edit Note | Delete First of all, I enjoyed my 6 weeks off of work immensely, and although I need a much bigger paycheck, I was not jumping up and down to return to work. Alas, my first week back to work consisted of a 4 day work week, how can anyone complain about that. Monday was rough. I took for lunch grilled chicken and mashed potatoes that I had had the previous day from Texas Roadhouse. I thought everything went fine...thankfully it did til I got home and then it came back up. I found that after work on Monday I was exhausted--not because I had done anything strenuous but because I was now back into a "structured" environment.

Tuesday was an entirely different kind of ballgame! I decided to try a scrambled egg for breakfast--yuck! Then I tried a salad for the first time, and I didnt even get that much lettuce...but you guessed it, this really did not agree with me!! I was sick in the bathroom 4 times at work!!! Becky (gotta love her, I do) came and gave me a wet paper towel to help in my time of misery. Word to self DONT try new things away from you humble abode! Lesson learned....

Wednesday, I was off to celebrate my mom's birthday ( I take her birthday, my daughters birthday and my birthday off every year.)

Thursday, I had split pea and ham soup. It was good. It might not have looked or smelled too good but it was! That night I had my first part of a hamburger on the George Foreman grill and it was Y U M M Y!

Friday, I took my other part of burger and had that. I also had a baked potato and mashed the stuffing out of it. I had went to the cafeteria because they were having meatloaf(trust me I know better than try to eat anything like that at this stage) but I thought for sure with meatloaf they would serve mashed potatoes and guess what they didn't have them!!! OMG was I disappointed. But everything managed to stay in place nothing came up...since Tuesday.

I have found that since I have been back to work and am getting in that routine it is easier for me to drink more water--I guess because I am yakking more I need more to drink.

All in all it hasn't been a bad first week back to work--I miss walking whenever I feel like it.

Today was weigh day and I managed to lose 5 lbs this week so I would say it was a success!!!
