Yesterday
B- kashi w/ soy
L- sandwich, applesauce
D- 2 pieces of pizza, sweet potato fries, 2 glasses of wine
Exercise - 45 minutes of "slowrobics" It turned out to be a pretty good workout, but it was too slow and kinda lame.
We went to the Capitol Theatre downtown. It is an old theater that they fixed up and they show second run movies for $4 and serve pizza, salads, popcorn, etc, and beer & wine. My sis works there and we really enjoy it. We had not been in awhile cause they were showing Crap movies. Last night we saw Reno 911 which is a really Stupid movie, but funny and a good style of movie for dinner and drinking while watching. You really don't want anything too deep
Today
B- kashi w/ soy
L- two sandwichs, potato chips, sweet tea, small piece of cake
D- Giant burrito, chips and about a tablespoon of cheese dip
Exercise - 30 minutes.. started with workout on TV, then walked w/ DH round the lake.
Today was a BAD food day. For dinner, we haven't been to the grocery store in a week so we are out of stuff to eat
so we ended up getting california style burritos. At least this time I didn't get the sour cream and guacamole.
Lunch today was a pretty cool story. I haven't really talked much about my new position in my new county. I am Very happy there!! They are great and I really like my supervisor and all the administrative staff so far!!
I like my work w/ foster care also a LOT better than I liked doing CPS.
Well, aparently I am making a Really good impression in the new county. About a month ago I met our director because of one of my cases that was in court. I was in my nice suit for court and made a good impression (even though I didn't say more than 10 words
). Our office is BIG, I would say there are 250 - 300 employees. I keep having to meet w/ the director on two of my cases that she is involved in and she is constantly telling people how great I am and how impressed she is. Also a couple of weeks ago I met a supervisor in another dept. that I had never heard of. She said "I have been hearing a lot about you" and said it was good things. I was like WOW, cause this place is too big for random people to have heard about me!
Anyway, today we were having a big meeting w/ the director (who is really laid back and cool .... WAY different than my last one!) and it was time for the birthday luncheon. Aparantly they do this once a month for the birthday's from the previous month. Well, she decided that we should all join her in the luncheon as her guests. There were about 4 or 5 of us in the meeting and all but me and another girl were supervisors or administrators. BTW, the other girl, C, transfered in the same day I did and the director had not met her before today. So we go into the lunch and eat. The director does this thing where she has everyone introduce themselves and say what they would do if they were director for the day. When she gets to me she says, "this is Amber, and it isn't her birthday. She is here as my guest." She said that I came from the other county and made a joke, cause it is best known for it's psych hospital, that they didn't lock me up long
Then she skipped on to the next person. When it came C's turn, she didn't acknowledge that she was also a guest and just had her do what everyone else did. (all the sup's and admin's didn't come to the lunch) So, I felt kind of honored! Plus, afterward she was telling one of the lawyers we work with how wonderful I am and that I think like her (the director) and that she likes that I speak my mind!
Anyway, I know that was long, but it is really exciting to LOVE my work and to be noticed and supported by upper management already. Oh, yeah, also about a month ago, I had to write an email that my supervisor said was "nice nasty". It was on a Big case that the director and all administrators are involved in. It got sent around to a lot of the admin's and sup's and Several of them wrote to tell me what an excellent job I did in writing it and how well I put such touchy stuff
In the last county I was in I had thought that I would be doing good to survive the job long enough to have kids and then I would probably want to do something else. But here I see myself thinking about working up to supervisor and beyond! It will take awhile cause I know I need a good bit more experience, but I know I can do it, that was never the question. The difference is here I think I would Want to do it.
I could really go on and on. Like also my supervisor OFFERED me help last month because I MIGHT need it
when at the other county I was BEGGING for help and my supervisor basically said suck it up and get over it!
Ok, enough on that. I am in a good place these days. I am doing pretty good on my exercise and being more consistant than I have been in a long time. I go back and forth on the eating, but overall doing ok. I feel good and am happy!! That makes a big difference in daily life!
I also think there is a HIGH possibility that we might go to Disney in September for Free dining
But not 100% sure yet.
K, well gonna go now. Have a great Weekend!!
May Minutes: 305/900
Oh well, it was this kind of wild swing your head move and I knew better! I will still do the workout, but I will have to remember to tone that move down a notch or two. 
Called DH and he said not to worry yet cause she has only been gone about 12 hours... well that didn't really help. 
I can do this! I am going to do this!!
