A Workday

I only work two days a week.  It seems like nothing when I say it like that, but I work 12 hour days in a high energy atmosphere with some of the greatest people on Earth I could ever work with.  I love these days when I go in and do something that I enjoy while getting to hang out with my work friends.  Today was a long and exhausting, but really good day that just confirmed that I love my job, I love my bosses, and I love my coworkers.  Anyways, enough mushiness, let's get to how I did today.

I knew today would be a test of my goals since I would be stressed for time, wanting convenience, and, well, we always go out for lunch.  I started out today by telling myself that I would treat myself to some coffee, but past that, I could not spend any more money.  I rolled through the McDonald's drive thru at 6 am (I know, I know, but their frappe thingies get me going!) and had some nice quiet time before work enjoying my completely bad for me ice cream coffee drink that doesn't really have that much coffee in it.  It was wonderful!  I was first tested when everyone began talking about what they were going to do for lunch.  Luckily I was smart and packed a lunch that I could take with me wherever everyone went and stick to my goals.  I had a few moments where I tried to convince myself that it wouldn't be so bad if I just treated myself to lunch with everyone else, but in the end I carted my nice healthy lunch to the restaurant and ate it happily and felt great about my decision.  All in all, it was a successful day.

Now I am dreadfully tired after watching Care Bears 2 with Ryder in my bed twice while praying that she would go to sleep easily.  I think I'm gonna take another celebratory bath with a book and then fall into bed.

And try not to think about the fact that Evan ate the last of the chocolate banana bread and the chocolate chip cookies. :)
