I changed the labels to times rather than lunch, snack, dinner etc. So I just log the food in the time slots rather than placing them in a particular meal. Depending if I'm on or not, dinner may come at 8 AM.0

That exactly what my diary looks like too. That way I don't feel too weird logging a pork chop at 4am lol1 -
Anyone have some good recommendations for books to read? I have a nook that needs to some love!0
-
Sports Illustrated is a good one. What you think?0
-
Do you like sci-fi? Ender's Game is a fantastic series. I also recommend pretty much anything by Douglas Adams or Terry Pratchett, though they are not so much sci-fi.0

Ugh. I don't know why, but I feel so out-of-sorts tonight!0

I get the Food Network Magazine so I'm good there lol.
It was an afterthought to post what kind of books. Never read sci-fi but I enjoy the movies. I like true crime, dystopian.
I gained three pounds since Wednesday morning
I'm calling an endocrinologist Monday morning. I don't think my family dr is managing this whole thyroid thing right and it's really starting to get on my nerves. My hubs said a coworker of his went thru a few dr's before the one he referred me, who got his thyroid meds figured out.
Maybe I'll just be fat forever. It's a possibility.0 -

I read historial fiction, mostly centered around Medieval England and the Roman Empire. If you're interested Ican suggest some.0 -
Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association has some good articles from time to time. Most my other books are reference books so they don't make for great bedtime stories.

I think sometimes family docs just lack the knowledge to treat specific disorders. Good luck with the new endo!

I have tonight and tomorrow night and then it's my 'weekend'!
I have to do some errands on either Thursday or Wednesday, I haven't decided which yet. I'm leaning more and more towards getting it all over with on Wednesday and then saving Thursday for just gym time and spending the rest of my time sleeping.

That's the way to do it. Get it all out off the way then you can do the rest of the weekend at your pace.0

It's to the point were I'm considering switching squads and moving to the other night shift rotation but I like my guys too much.
He really ticked me off when they finally hired a new dispatcher. She has several years experience and just needs to get her stuff moved and learn our CAD system. She's working days first so she can do her HR stuff. Two weeks from today, she'll come to our squad to finish training. My partner has stated quite plainly that he isn't training her and I'll do it. Way to be a team player But I doubt I'll have to train her more than a week or two but still.
Now I have 2 more shifts till my weekend

Did you sing that when you read it?? I imagine Donkey from Shrek 0 -
It has been on of those nights so far...40 mins late to work because of poorly-planned construction combined with an accident closing off another intersection on my route to work, mind you I'm the person who panics if I'm 1-2 minutes late. Then I get to work and the printer's broken. I basically can't do anything without it...I texted my boss, who my coworker says knows about, but I'm guessing she asleep, because she hasn't responded. Ugh.0

Don't I know it.
I get to work and I'm having my coffee and my boss starts in: "Why aren't you doing area checks yet?" and "You shouldn't be sitting here, you should be doing area checks."
So I get out of the office and I'm walking around checking things from 1am-3am and when I get back I get:
"You were gone too long! Why weren't you here watching the cameras?" and "Dispatch called and I had to answer the phone!"
MAKE UP YOUR DAMN MIND!
Then, after ALL of that, he leaves to go to the other campus.

Ugh I had a pretty up and down week at work. I'm currently working at 2 stores and both the bosses love me hahah and I ended up getting another manager in trouble for not doing his job right. That's 2 managers in 2 weeks now. If only they'd fire them. But that store is so quite all I ended up doing is thinking and it drains me so much I hate it0
-
Ugh I hate a slow shift when I'm now allowed to bring anything to keep myself entertained! I'm so glad I can bring just about whatever I want at my job.0

Went bra shopping on Wednesday and now I wish I hadn't.
I'm not 'deformed' or anything but I guess my size isn't very common. It's like, $75 MINIMUM for a bra in my size. I'm now restricted to certain brands and I kinda wanna cry about it(not that it will help anything).
However, I at least have a strapless bra for the maid of honor dress I have to wear for my sister's wedding in 12 days.
And I have a new sports bra.
I ordered some new bras online in my new size and I REALLY hope they fit me well because they're 'final sale' items and I didn't know that when I ordered.
*deep breath* Everything is gonna be fine...

I pretty much lucked into some great sports bras the last time I ordered some on sale from Lane Bryant. I haven't been brave enough to try to find a strapless bra in years.0

Boo. Had one going across the street, then the farmer started tilling the field next to and behind our house. Luckily I'd gone to bed early and had plenty of sleep. I hope he doesn't do anymore tilling tomorrow.
I bought bras Saturday too. I went up a band size although I'm not certain I was measured correctly last time. I was bummed but damn the new bars fit way better. Way more comfy sitting here at work. As for strapless bras, I'm not that brave lmao. I had to wear a corset for the last strapless dress I wore.
Now for a fitbit question: I'm part of a group of 911 dispatchers on FB who are working to get healthier. They post step counts of over 17000/day bc they walk in place at their consoles. I stand for several hours a shift and occasionally walk around my center. I know walking in place is moving and sitting for 12 hours a shift = death lol. But would it be worth it? Do you think it'd mess with the calorie burning since it's basically counting my arm swings and I'm not actually putting in the same effort I would be if walking?
Just curious what you guys think0 -

I walk in place at work and it's worth it. Fitbit and MFP are linked, Fitbit adjusts my calories, and I'm losing weight using my fitbit deficit.1 -
Yeah mine are linked too and I have enabled negative adjustments so it keeps me honest. I walked a couple extra thousand steps in three hours walking at my console so that will def be part of my routine.1
-
I have a FitBit One and it doesn't log pacing in a short space for some reason. I think it's because I have a long strride, but I don't really know. But if yours does, then I say go for it, it'll get you more food!0
