VICTORY!

I did it! I did it! I did it!

I stayed 100% OP at work last night!!!!!!!

I DID WHAT I THOUGHT WAS THE IMPOSSIBLE.

Granted, I said a little prayer before going into work that no one would bring candy, pizza, doughnuts, cookies, bagels, or any other tempting item for the next few times that I work until I can gain some control. I had dinner around 5pm which consisted of a very filling serving of slow cooker lasagna, a garlic breadstick and some apple cranberry crisp. This was hugely filling, as I didn't even need my evening snack that I'd brought. I was so busy I barely had time to get in two more bottles of water before midnight when my points reset. So, here's the breakdown from there:

12:00- Apple, Polly-O 2% String Cheese
2:00- Salad w/ spinach, goat cheese and cranberries w/ raspberry walnut vinagrette
4:00- Cottage Cheese
6:00- Cream of Wheat, Skim Milk
7:00- 3 unplanned pieces of hard candy. But it could have been SO much worse than a piddly 1 point splurge....and I felt so in control when I left this morning.

I came straight in the door at home, took my allergy meds and charged upstairs to wash my face, brush my teeth and hit the sack! As a result, I am awake several hours before I have to go back in to work, so I'm getting ready to hop on the Wii Fit for a while. I was surprised to see that with my HRM, I burned 400+ calories in just over an hour yesterday. My shoulder is kind of sore from a combo of yoga and Wii Boxing, so I'll have to take it easy today!

Anyway, just tooting my own horn a little for staying in CONTROL (my new favorite word) while at work ALL NIGHT!! I ROCK!!

Off to plan tonight's snacks!
