Day Two

So it's day two.  I'm gonna be good. I'm gonna be real good today, you will see.

February 28, 2012
 My morning.: I made Tea, I love to drink my Tea with lemon and a bit of sugar. Tea is better than coffee I put a lot of sugar in my coffee. Tea I use at least half of what i do in coffee. tea is a good choice. I prefer Twinning s English breakfast Tea it is nummy.  Nummy meas it's yummy in my tummy. I had a bowl of honey nut Cheerios. I deiced to use the Alli pills that I purchased months ago as a added helper. but I'm concerned that it will interfere with my Lyrica so I wait an hour to take my medication I think that will prevent any medication interaction. 

My afternoon, after my rant: So my plan was to get to work, work and then go to the gym.  When I got to work, the Per Diem person was once again at my desk.  I made a comment that it's my desk and I need to be at my desk, but she needed to use a computer so it didn't matter what I needed. Every Tuesday I come in to find her at me desk, with my stuff moved to wherever. She leaves things on my desk to which I get bitched at for. The boss does this so he can (I'm my impression) look at his emails. He has a laptop that he can use for that. I get her being there on Mondays that's fine, I'm not here on Mondays. Anyway so I'm sitting there for a good two hours waiting to get to my desk I gave up. I looked at him and said, I'm done sitting and doing nothing. I'm going to the gym call me when I can actually work. So I left and went to Wal-mart for some stuff and then the Gym. I get on a tread mill and discover I can't go faster than 2 mph. But, I will walk a mile. I found that it was not raiding my heart rate high enough so I increased my incline up to 1.5. Then I was satisfied. I walked .92 and then my legs gave up.  So I have a goal at the gym walk a mile.  After the gym I went food shopping. but it was a little on the late side and I was hungry.  so I went to the new frozen yogurt place and got 4 oz. of dulche de leche frozen yogurt with some white chocolate chips. It was only 4 oz. And I don't thing it was being naughty considering that there is a candy isle in the food store.  At the food store i bought a salad for lunch because it was a bit late. When I got home I up packed everything and ate my salad. I have been proud of my progress today.

My evening: My husband and his mother go out to dinner on Tuesdays to allow me a bit of me time. I made the Italian Herb Chicken and used thighs instead of breast cause the store was all out. to my horror it was not skinless or boneless. I didn't know what to do. Nick saved me and took care of all the bones and all the skin.  I will NEVER buy that again.  even worse I bought one of the big packs so I could grill some for Nick to take to lunch. After dinner, I sat and had a conversation with Nick.  I had stopped taking a medication that was to help with the PTSD. I have been toying with going back on it since Monday. I asked Nick what he thought.  Although in the end the decision is mine, Nick did help me to see that I was much happier on the Anti-depressant then off and maybe it would help me.

song, then tomorrow dinner
