My Return to Ye Olde Book Shoppe

Jul 16, 2014

Barnes and Noble asked if I was able to come back to work a bit early to help plan some events coming up.  Not working the floor, carrying books, or pushing carts.  Just organizing a ton of stuff with my own personal "minion" to move the boxes for me.  Barnes and Noble starts a huge giveaway this weekend with lots of follow up events.  Next week I'm hosting an author event and leading the DC trivia night two days later.  The week after that I'm leading the Harry Potter trivia event!  I just need to really stay focused on my eating plan so that it doesn't screw up my water intake for the day.  Also...mustn't forget to drink!

I do like working there but having the last 6 weeks off from them reminded me just how nice free evenings can be.  Also the drive to Natick can be a pain.  I set my schedule for just 2 days a week Mon-Fri but that might change because of what I found out today.  The place where I am temping is hiring me!  So pay bump, no more Cobra, and real benefits incoming soon.  It will be nice to be able to save money again... I blew through a lot of my saving with this surgery.  Taking 2 weeks of unpaid blows.  On top of that Cobra payments and the $2000 deductible for my surgery.  Though I am back to solid ground now with today's paycheck even without the pay bump.

Tomorrow night I'm going to plan a few meals (or in other words make a dish that equals several pouch portions) and I need to add variety.  Also I forgot to stop for popsicles again!  I wasn't able to eat breakfast until I got to work. Maybe I will try a hot tea when I first get up tomorrow.

I did call my doc today about being sore still from swimming the other night and she said I was stupid/silly.  Well her PA relayed the message but still... Lazy in the pool = ok.  Swimming in the pool bad.

 

Today's menu:

  • B: Ham and Cheese egg bites courtesy of Eggface's website
  • S: Chobani blueberry greek yogurt 100
  • L: 1/2 cup Chicken chili
  • S: Chobani vanilla greek yogurt 100
  • D: 1/2 cup Chicken chili
  • S: No after dinner snack for me today.  Just got home and too late to be bothered with it.
  • TOTALS: Calories 765, Protein 75, Carbs 71 (darn chili), Fat 23

Other things of note:

  • W: Didn't do well today.  With my daily schedule all weird today I kept forgetting to either drink or eat.  I will hit the min by the time I crawl into bed though.
  • V: Made sure to get them all in today
  • E: Worked all day at a desk but started back up at my part time job at Barnes and Noble tonight.  Simple stuff and they let me sit when needed!  Per fit bit 6432 paces equaling 2.69 miles and 5 flights of stairs.
