Day 77 Crick In The Neck and Pizza

Thin, flat pillows are best for me. My current pillow was getting too flat so I switched to a higher one last night. Wrong move! 3am/ Major neck pain pain. Woke up to discomfort and still going strong. I expect it will last a couple days. So I decided to feel sorry for myself as I laid around all day moving from couch to chair, icy hot patch to hot pad on my back. Pizza was a must. Tried to be good for a while, but by dinner the pity party set in. Feeling like I'm gaining weight due to quite a number of endulgences these last few days.

We have been working on selecting our wedding photo album photos for the last 10 hours and are pretty much going crazy. We are starting over from square one to try and get our album again. Been almost 3 1/2 years of photo trouble (but that is for another blog!). Stressed.

Breakfast: Corn tortillas, one egg, avadcado, green tea
Vince acutally ate my orange.

Lunch: veggies, chicken, tomatoes
Snack: no sugar hot chocolate

Day 76: 5 Mile Walk

Exercise: Walked 5 Miles

Nice to get out to the park again! Cool, crisp air. Missed the sunshine though. We walked 5 miles. Really wanted to run, but worked hard to ignore the tempation. Trying to wait another week or so before I pick it back up again. Can't wait until next Thursdays Spin Class again! Have to miss Tuesday for an event. Bummer.

Didn't eat well today! Just wanted to veg out and eat everything in sight! First day of vacation temptations I guess.

Breakfast: 1 corn tortilla, one egg, green tea
Snack: no sugar hot chocolate with soy vanilla milk
Lunch: About 3 slices of homemade bread someone made me with lots of butter, chocolate chips, toffee chips, salmon patty, broccoli and mixed veggies, water
Dinner: Broke down and bought a frozen dinner! Been maybe over 7 years since I've had a frozen dinner! I just don't think packaged foods are healthy. We shopped for groceries very late tonight and I was hungry.
Snack: about to have some cherries and grapes

Day 75 Last Day Before Christmas Vacation!

I made it to this day! What a whirlwind of a week! Our staff cookie exchange was today. People make cookies and share with others. Cookies fill an entire room. It's a cookie feast. I enjoyed a few different ones myself. Not the healthiest day today!

Breakfast: 2 corn tortillas, one egg, green tea.
Snack: apple sauce
Lunch: At a meeting off campus. The district brought in Mexican food for us. One fajita chicken in tortilla, beans, and rice, corn chips, a bit of salsa and queso. A delicious filling not so healthy lunch. Loved it!
Snack: Back at work and had some of those cookies.
Dinner: Subway sandwich, but put the meat etc in a tortilla because the bread got soggy.
Snack: chocolate chips!
