Well, I have not worked 3 days in a row in over 16 years-- since I was pregnant with my first child. This week I worked Monday, Wed, Thurs, Fri and I am full time until the secretary comes back.
We are adjusting pretty well but there is a lot that changes when I am not home all day. I think the cats are having the hardest time! But I am also finding that I really like it so I may be looking for a secretary/receptionist job next year. I would really like to find one in the school system since I do love the kids but with a lot of budget cuts coming up that may be difficult.
I need to do some cooking this weekend and make some soup and breakfast muffins for next week. I did really well this week and keeping on plan and taking all my food for the day. Of course every day there was something in the lounge-- donuts, cake and other goodies. So I completely avoided the lounge!
The biggest problem is that I can't really drink a lot of water. There is no bathroom in this office so I can't just run in and out quickly. The only options are the main office across the hall where they would notice I was in there every 30 mins or down the hall and that takes too long and I have to let someone know I am leaving the desk-- again, they would notice! I try to use the one down the hall just so I get a little bit of walking. I would love to be able to do a lap through the halls once an hour but that isn't possible. I do try to take the long way when I go to check the mail.
I need to find some "sitting at the desk" exercises I can do, especially for core strengthening. The only problem with trying to do something in my chair is that I sit by a huge window to the hall and the main office is directly across from me with the same huge window so they can see everything I am doing!
I would have to sneak it in when no one is looking! There is a conference room in the office so I can sneak in there for my lunch time if it isn't being used. If the window wasn't there I would probably try to do some WATP while others are out of the office or in a meeting and can't see me! Wonder if they would notice if I looked like I was pacing?
and it's ok to just wait for me to return too...b/c i will be back!! I'm FB friends with Lily the other moderator, so you could ask her to check my wall if anyone is so inclined. listen to me, just rambling on like you all will be sitting on your chairs waiting for me to arrive...hehehe....
I will be.
If you think about it ask Lily to pop over here and just post an update for us. Will be thinking of you.
QOTD 3/3 (Combo Regular and Disney):
We already discussed our favorite food to indulge in while at Disney, but what about our favorite healthy ones?
Nope. I've got nothing! While I might order a salad or skip the fries or something I really don't worry too much about healthy while I am there.
I am glad they offer carrots and grapes as sides and I will get those but they aren't a "favorite", just a better alternative.
Off to do some cooking! Everyone have a great ON PLAN weekend!
I like the Just Dance games; my girls do, too, and that's something we can do together. I also like the regular Wii Fit and Fit Plus stuff as well as the Biggest Loser game. But it's been a while since I've used those. Jillian Michaels' Ripped in 30 has become my new best frenemy over the past couple of months, and that seems to be giving me excellent results!
. We were there from around 1pm on the 29th til 2am on the 1st. We had dinner at Tony's around 830pm. The crowd came and went in spurts. Around 3pmish it was crowded. Then it died down around 6pm and got crowded again around midnight. Overall I was glad I went. 
Gretchen for coaching this week!!!
I don't think we've ever had anyone coach us from WDW before! 
I really enjoy a class called NIA that is like a dance/aerobics type class and a good yoga class, although I haven't done either for way too long. Have to work on that this summer. 
You are working hard and your efforts are showing! 
and will be very glad when you join us again. Best wishes for a speedy recovery. 
moment for me: with my weigh in this week (184.2 lbs) which I still have to send to dvccruiser76--sorry!-- I am in a new weight category for Weight Watchers and I now have 27 points daily instead of 28, and when this challenge began January 1 I had 29 points! I am definitely moving in the right direction!!!
