    @OConnell5483 Thank you - that means a lot! I tend to be incredibly private, but I've found great solace in this group.

    JFT, 4/25/18

    1. Log all food :#Had a sub for dinner last night since I didnt eat at home and have no idea how to log it
    2. Make wise food choices :|Other than the sub and the two handfuls of chips...sure
    3. Drink 3 bottles @ work :)4-5 by the end of the night
    3. Gym @ 6 :'(Woke up really really sore so I slept in pretty late.
    4. Coffee w/ DH :)It was nice
    5. Work 1015-515 :)Was a decent day I guess. My soon to be former manager is convinced that I am too nice of a person and that the new one who can be kind of rude is going to be mean to me and it's going to hurt my feelings...She doesnt have enough faith in my tough as nails skin.
    6. Mail letter on break :DThere are 3 blue mailboxes on my way to work. One of them is in the parking lot I use for work, the post office is across the street from the parking lot and there's one about 200 feet from the door to my gym! I dont know why this has been so hard for me!
    7. Make list of bills :):):)I actually worked out a whole budget that allows us room to not only pay our normal bills but also pay the new car payment, the raised insurance, and my new gym membership fee!
    8. Only 4 cups of coffee :)I think I may have only had 3 actually
    9. D's house for dinner/organizing "date" :)It was more of a chatty visit then a work date. I think we only organized for about a half an hour. But I'm going to go over next weekend and spend two days completely dismantling her whole office area and reorganize it. Lol
    10. Home by 10 :|10:15 but close enough. Lol
    11. Bed by 1130 :#More like 1. The Dh had a terrible day at work so I spent about 2.5 hours trying to make him feel better

    It's already 6:30 here!

    Work sucked today, to be honest. Our new manager, L, spent today and tomorrow shadowing J who is the one who is leaving. L(who shares a name with my head teller) is the former head teller at the main branch and is the woman who trained me. She spent the afternoon behind the teller line and kind of watched over my shoulder. I have been at my branch for a month. She freaked me out because I kept thinking I was doing things wrong and it made me screw a few things up. Granted she is a GREAT woman and will do really well at her job when she gets settled in, but she can be a tad bit overwhelming. She teaches me the right way though. The "other L" tries to train me her own way and I dont respond to it that well. But it was just an off day. I know that once J is officially gone it will be easier because we can adapt to the way that LM wants us to do things. So next week will be much easier I think. I'm going to call my new manager LM and my head teller LK because those are their initials and you know me, I like to tell you all about my day. Lol.

    The DH got in trouble at work for something incredibly stupid yesterday had was in a terrible mood last night. He got loud with me at one point but calmed down from that quickly. So I spent a long time just hugging him before I finally got so tired I couldn't stay up a minute longer. OH! It didnt help today that I didnt wake up until J called me at 8:23 to ask me where I was. I was the opening teller. So I threw on clothes and ran out the door. Part of the sleeping so late was because I was up so late! Lol.

    Okay, enough about that!

    Today I:

    -Did not stay in my calorie goal(pizza/wings/muffins/ice cream all as a goodbye to J)
    -Only drank 2 bottles of water at work
    -Had my 4 cups of coffee for the day
    -Made it through work(at least my drawer balanced)
    -Was a half an hour late to work


    To do before the night ends:
    -Enjoy dinner with R(have a salad)
    -Take a shower before dinner
    -Dishes
    -Tech off my 10:30
    -Bed by 11:30
    -Make sure alarm is set in the AM!

    I'll come back on after dinner to update goals for tomorrow! I promise!!!

    I so enjoy your posts and seeing how your day went.

    2 sleeps until holiday! :D Doesn't feel quite real yet, probably because I'm still in work mode. Should get real and exciting after I finish today!

    @OConnell5483 @toaljasa Thanks for your holiday best wishes! I like the quote and will use it to encourage me to be more adventurous while I'm away :smile: @OConnell5483 Happy to post the odd travel pic to inspire you to book something yourself if you like?


    I would LOVE that! I was talking to my husband last night telling him how you go to Paris for weekend trips and now are going to Vietnam and how I missed my calling....to travel! I've always loved to travel and have done very little of it. I'm living vicariously through you! I did start browsing online last night for some places I might be able to visit in the US or Canada. I've never been to Canada and would love to. Both my husband and I have always wanted to go to Alaska also... :smile: I'm so excited for you!
