How beautiful is it outside today, folks? Or at least for those of us on the East Coast? I mean, THIS is what I would love all summer to be like. It feels like a Michigan summer day, where it's finally warm enough in the afternoon to bask in the sun at the lake. Which is what I'll be doing in about three weeks.
I'm happy that it's more comfortable for my personal double-header of softball and kickball tonight -- or more realistically, softball and then the bar, since I doubt I'll make it back to Astoria in time for the actual kickball game. Did I tell you our team name? We're the Ballstorians. Haaa.
Tomorrow I get to go with the law firm partners to see our new office space, where we'll be moving this winter. I believe we're going to choose "finishes," and while I'm not sure entirely what that means, I'm thinking paneling and carpeting and stuff? Hopefully they'll let me weigh in as the only female present...which CLEARLY means I have design sense. I'm excited...and I hope they'll tell me where I'll sit, so I can fantasize about it (or dread it) for a long time. I'll pick out hair band posters to put on the wall and everything.
So food today:
B - Special K with berries, milk, coffee - 4
L - turkey & cheddar sammy, yogurt with strawberries - 6
D - TBD
S - string cheese, strawberries, granola bar - 4 ish
And probably beer...but Bud Light! :)

What I Ate: Wednesday, January 6
Talk about hump day -- this day is crawling a snail's pace. I don't have much to do at work (at least until this afternoon), and I've almost exhausted all of my internet time-wasting things already. I suppose I could do my freelance work this afternoon, as at least that would be productive! How are your days, dear readers?
Food.
B - coffee x2, Special K with Red Berries, Milk (4)
L - chicken (Boar's Head Everroast...mmmm) and swiss on sandwich thin with L&T, Miracle Whip light and mustard; apple (4)
D - brown rice with vegetable tomato sauce and cubed chicken (7); romaine salad with tomatoes, cucumbers, feta, homemade vinaigrette (2)
S - light yogurt (2)
Total - 19, but I may need a snack later on. If anything, more milk in more coffee/tea will put me to 20.
Activity - 30-40 minutes of stationary bike riding at the gym (at varied resistances) AGAIN
Weight - 148 lbs. (-2!)
A note about activity points: Yes, I can eat the points I earn with exercising, but I'm going to try not to unless I feel really hungry.
A note about my point limit: I realized that I was on the border of needing to raise my daily limit (the line is 150 lbs.) and perhaps that (plus the stretching of my tummy over the holidays) is why I've been so hungry so far this week. I'm hoping to adjust to the restricted diet again soon, and find filling, low-point snacks, like skim milk. (Hmm, that sounds sad.)
In life news, I did my boring responsibility things like writing thank-you notes yesterday. I contacted the insurance company, but of course they replied already, so I have to do some medical bill research tonight. So thrilling.
I'm looking forward to the weekend and plans with friends plus plans with myself and solitary movie-watching! I enjoy alone time much more than I used to, and it's very refreshing to hide out for a little bit each weekend.
Again, this is BORING but disciplined, right? And I'm down 2 pounds, which could be just normal fluctuation, but at least encourages me a bit. I also started watching the new season of Biggest Loser (man, they don't take much of a break) and hopefully that will provide encouraging, too -- unlike last season when I watched while munching on takeout.
I need salad dressing advice. (Who doesn't?!) I finally am making my own, low-point dressing, but the last "recipe" I tried included dijon mustard, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and some seasoning, and kept FREEZING in my fridge. Is there something in that chemical combination? Granted, I need a real salad dressing container, as I'm using cheap ketchup and mustard squeeze bottles from the dollar store, but still... it makes me wonder if I'm doing something strange. Like when I was young and I'd do science experiments by combining all of the products in the bathroom in a paper cup and seeing what happened. (I'll tell you what happened -- often it ate right through the paper cup, and Mom was mad!)
More later, if I get inspired. Oh, and update: Blackbeard is totally not into me this week.
