Eek!!

I've gained 4 pounds since I started my job.

Too much eating out, too little going to the gym (although I've squeezed in workouts at 5:30 in the morning before I started getting ready for work).

I'm sure yesterday didn't help any, especially that patty melt and milkshake I had a Johnny Rockets. Most of the four pound gain on the scale this morning is probably bloat from that, I'm guessing.

So...healthy eating today. And eating IN...not out. And gym this evening. I am going to try and make the 5:45 spinning class. But if I can't do that, I'll workout on the elliptical until 6:30 and then do the half hour Dancers' Workout class.

Spring finally arrives here on Friday, and it just happens to coincide with casual day at work. So I'm going to dig out my capri pants and wear those. We don't have casual days every Friday, it's a privilege that has to be earned.

It's supposed to be almost 70 degrees on Friday and Saturday, so I need to get out and enjoy the weather. It's been way too gloomy, chilly and wet lately. It prompted one woman to say to me last night in passing, "what happened to this global warming thing we're supposed to be having?" Indeed.

(no subject)

It's been a pretty busy day today. Lots to do at work, which is good. And I'm falling a little behind. This federal taxation stuff I'm working on is really really difficult - trying to remember exemptions and how to calculate everything, etc. I've been working on it bit by bit for days, and even though I now have a formula for doing the math involved, I always seem to get the wrong answer anyway.

It's incredibly frustrating. But everyone else assured me that they really struggled through this section too, and that it will click eventually.

Anyway, I will probably have some stuff to enter into the system tomorrow, so I can get used to using the payroll system and putting in the codes.

After work, I went to the gym. I did some time on the elliptical and took a dancers' workout class. I came home, called Lance and nuked a quick and probably not too healthy microwave meal. I'm going to hit the shower here in a minute and then relax for the rest of the evening.

I was invited out to play Bunco tonight but I declined on account of wanting to go to the gym, not having the means to write down directions to where the game was being held (I got the call on my cell as I just pulled out of the parking lot at work), and figuring that the game would run over a few hours, which would have me going to bed kind of late tonight. I need to get a good night's sleep every night. This job requires me to be on my toes.

Okay...so shower. Then pajamas. Lance is supposed to call me again a bit later so we can talk some more.

I haven't had a lot of internet time lately, so if anything exciting is going on, be sure to let me know.
