MONDAY!!

Today is MONDAY.  Nothing terrible, everything irritating---the most irritating is trying to get the right people to sign these forms so i can apply for a grant. This is made all the more irritating because I've put this off until the last second and now people aren't available etc. etc. and it's my own fault so I have no one to blame.  On the bright side, Dave brought me flowers!!!  Suddenly, the day is looking better!

Food-wise, I'm doing well.  It was hard to stop at just one piece of pie last night, but I did. Today is flavor point, which is always hard, but I had that slice of bread to go with lunch and that made all the difference.  There are m & m cookies in the kitchen, but I'm still feeling encouraged with the idea that my choices actually make a difference. Also, one of the most beautiful girls I work with won't have one either, she's got some digestive problems and can't tolerate that kind of stuff very well---I suspect her choices are part health driven and part good sense driven, but it helps a great deal to see someone without a weight problem say no to the cookies too.

I was only able to get in 1/2 hour of wellness time--but that's ok! That means anything I do tonight will count toward earned calories. I'll put in at least another 1/2 hour.

Best of all one grant application will go completely in--and the other will be sent to my mentor. Mostly, all I have to do now is sit and wait for approvals--or not. At this point I don't care. I'm just glad to have them done!!
