    Had a really good day at the bank. I'm starting at my home branch tomorrow! I can't wait! I love so much about this bank and my branch. I think my two favorite things are the fact that the branch manager has the exact same personality as my best friend and my branch doesnt have a drive-thru!!!! I can't begin to tell you how much I hate being a new teller and having to deal with a drive-thru. It's really hard to get people to send in their ID's when they are out in a car. AND! I dont have to stand the whole day. I am also technically a CSR which means I can open accounts and things(I haven't learned that yet) but it means that I get to sit behind a desk. I know most people things that that is just normal life. Well, it's never been the normal life for me since I graduated high school. It's going to be really nice!

    I hope everyone is having a great night! The DH is demanding cuddle time. Lol

    ... a drive-thru bank?
    Does everything in the US gave a drive-thru version lol!!

    Ha! I admit I did miss my drive through banks when living in Belgium. Also, the bank would close during the day, which was most inconvenient. And trying to cash a check from the U.S. was an effort on their part...they don't have checkbooks there, even for personal use, as in if I wanted to send someone a check as a birthday gift. Do y'all have checks?

    Now you know why so many americans are so overweight!! We definitely are a country of lazy people who don't like to even get out of a car! Did you know that on Ash Wednesday, there was even a church that had a "drive-thru" version where you could get ashes on your forehead! I even thought to myself how ridicious that was. I guess the minister would meet you at the car window, say a prayer, and put ashes on your forehead!

    JFT, 3/27/18

    1. Log all food :)Even the trail mix that I dove into last night. Lol. Got to be accountable!
    2. 64oz water :)Had to pretty much chug the last bottle but I got it!
    3. Up by 630 :|7. Couldn't get myself up. Lol
    4. Morning stuff :/Spent the time before work with the DH
    5. DH up @ 7 :)We both did but we had a good coffee/tea time
    6. Prep/Log lunches :)Done. It is so much easier when the food is already made and packaged. Lol
    7. Yoga :DI HAVE to get this done! Even if it's just for 10 minutes!
    8. Quiet time :/The DH and I getting up at 7 completely screwed my morning all up. Lol
    9. Budget list :)
    10. Work 945-615 :)Learned a lot more new things so it is probably going to take a while to stop having to ask for double checks and things.
    11. Dinner/Dishes :) / :|Left the pan in the sink that I completely forgot about! Lol
    12. Pens game/DH time :| / :)Pens had a pretty terrible game but the DH and I had a quiet evening.
    13. Bed by 1030 :|11:15 I think

    The DH was in a funk last night. Not sure why. I think he was probably just bored. I ended up going to bed and as I'm between that place of waking and sleeping I hear a shout of celebration from the other room. A new video game just came out two days ago that the DH really wants. Two of his best friends have it and he was watching them play the night before last. We had been talking about it around dinner time. I told him that he was going to need to wait before we can get it because it's $60! Well, he comes storming into the bedroom to show me a message on his phone. It was an alert fro XBox that one of his best friends bought him a copy and it's ready to download to his console. Now, this is a big deal in and of itself. It's an even bigger deal because of my DH's past. After leaving a hard life path when he met me, he lost all of his friends. He didnt really get any more until about 2 years ago. His old friends were all takers and never givers. So that fact that a friend bought him something so expensive has completely blown his mind! Lol. It took him out of his funk right quick! This friend is amazing. I know him as well. So thank the Lord for good friends! Lol. I dont know why I felt the need to share that story, but for some reason, I had to. I hope that maybe it helps someone.

    Had a good evening myself though. Fell asleep while cuddling with the DH. It was nice. While the DH was in his funk I ended up craving chocolate so I had a couple of handfuls of trail mix. Lol. Totally not in my diet but it was yummy! Lol

    Onward!

    Yesterday, I met all my goals, including no cookie or cake eating. I also drank 9 cups of water.

    JFT, 3/28
    I will stay in the green
    I will do a light exercise
    I will drink 8 cups water
    I will pre-log my food on MFP

    Wednesday Weigh-in: I started 1/1/18 at 177 and am 159, which is the same as last week.

    For those doing Joan's water challenge:

    LOL!
    Just saw that pic and my mind just shouted “FU€K!”

    * runs to get a cup!*

    I didn’t post goals but it’s 6.30 pm here. I’ve had half a glass of water all day and my one and only goal is to drink 8 glasses by 10pm and have Joan say well done when I come back in 4 hours :sweat_smile:

    Hold up, just read your post properly..
    You’ve lost EIGHTEEN POUNDS?!?!
    In 3 months!

    You put us all to shame.

    I’m also getting increasingly jealous of how you achieve your goals every day!
    You’re a real inspiration to make me want to succeed!

    It's midday, and getting ready to walk dog in few minutes. No time to read everyone's posts, I'll look later. Want to get my JFT down...

    Recap T 3/27 ~ Last work day for me until next week Wed. :smiley:
    1) Rest day / move hourly / stairs breaks at work = Rest day / Fitbit 10,848 steps, 250+ steps 13/14 & 42 floors... lots of trips to basement in evening (see #3) :smiley:
    2) Leftovers for lunch & supper / net calories green / monitor usual = Not so great, but not sure about exercise calories (see #3), especially since daily weigh-in this a.m. was down. Net calories, sodium & sugar red (binged a bit on Brookside dark chocolate pomegranate after supper ~ ack!), protein good, fiber little low & 15c water. :#
    3) Evening: make Kodiak Cakes muffins / wash dishes / cont. to-do list = Change in plans... really felt like a slug after work, just took things easy (& lazy) for a while. Then re-energized & did lots of decluttering / cleaning / logged 1 hr light cleaning as exercise. :#
    4) Unplug 9:30 / floss / retainers / bed & TV off 11:00 = Absolute fail x4. :s On the bright side, got lots done around house & was awake when hubby got home from work at 12:30 a.m. So I still consider this a win! :#

    JFT W 3/28 ~ vacation day at home
    1) Grocery shopping for Easter / upcoming week = done :smiley:
    2) Get dinnerware, serving dishes & tablescape materials for Easter out of hutch = done :smiley:
    3) Drink > 12c water
    4) Making root veggie beef stew for dinner / net calories green / monitor usual
    5) Walk dog on gorgeous sunny day
    6) More progress on to-do lists (I have 3 separate lists for cleaning, food & misc Easter prep)
    7) Don't want to screw up sleeping pattern too much while off work, so: unplug 10:00 / floss / retainers / bed & TV off 11:00

    Have a great day, everyone!
