It was another banner day. I spent eight hours at work and this is how it was broken down: 1/2 hour on a spreadsheet graph and the rest, FILING. Imagine spending seven or more hours in a big room, alone, filing massive amounts of paper. Seriously.
I’m the kind of person who makes friends easily and can strike up a conversation with just about anyone. I’m outgoing, like to make others laugh, and like meeting new people. But there I am. Day after day.
A lot of people love going to an office because it gets them out of the house, away from the kids, etc. However, I’m single and enjoy, busy places with lots of people. I love to multi-task. The more chaos, the better. Then I can go home and relax in quiet if so choose. I never get lonely. I’m usually fine being by myself. This job, however, feels like solitary confinement. Being alone and absorbed in interesting work is one thing. Or — if I were doing monotonous filing while in a busy area, that would be another thing. But sitting alone in a dead-quiet room with nothing to do but file, hour after HOUR? It’s kind of getting to me. Can you tell? And in about an hour or so I get to go to bed and do it all over again tomorrow. *sigh*
Anyway, the food thing –
I’ve been eating way too much bread lately. In the past few days I’ve also eaten several handfuls of Hershey Kisses. And then there’s my Sports Drink (caloric) “problem”.
Food Goals for the week? A serious reduction in bread intake, no candy, and only 8oz of a sports drink if I think I need it on workout days only.
I went to the grocery store and loaded up on healthy food. I made my breakfast quiches so I have an easy portable breakfast (I’ll post the recipe for these suckers later). I even bought vegetable juice to drink on the way to work (apparently the hour long drive isn’t unpleasant enough — I had to throw vegetable juice into the ordeal). I’ll thank myself later, I’m sure.
I did okay today — no sweets and only a few handfuls of wheat crackers — oh, and no sports drinks. I’m still sore from my weekend workouts, but in a good way.

God, I would go insane. Not helpful, I know, I am sorry, but God! To trap a people person in solitary confinement seems cruel and unusual.
I would love to get the recipe for the quiches. I am OUT OF CONTROL. I am either going to go back to Jenny or try Weight Watchers (hence the request for your quiches recipe)
I can’t wait to see the recipe for those quiches.
Good goals you’re setting. I’m trying to get back on track too. It’s so hard sometimes. And sometimes, it’s so easy. UGH!
