Attempt: I wanted to be at the Grape by 6 p.m. Possible? Yes. FAIL. I got there at 6:30, but doing another 1.75 miles in the gym and heating up dinner made it impossible!
Attempt: To go see the Time Traveler’s Wife with my besties. We all get to the Grape. We have our book discussion. We walk over to the 7:40 p.m. showing at Phipps and guess what? The projector is broken and that movie is cancelled. We whip out iPhones. Nope – the other theaters all had 7:10 showings. 7:30 showings. And then 9 p.m. showings. So it didn’t work out.... FAIL.
Attempt: Hang out with Austin since clearly girls’ night out was officially ruined. Grrrr. I call him when I leave Phipps and he’s gone. Already left for poker. But says he’ll be in early. FAIL. He comes in at 11 p.m. when I’m sleeping.
Attempt: Stay under 1,900 calories. Nope.... I was tired, and carb-craving and just ate when I wasn't hungry. FAIL.
So yes, one of those days when I had the BEST intentions and exciting plans but was left disappointed and alone. Total bummer, right??!!
However, there were positives...
- I got to see the girls! Even though we didn't get to see the movie and all were in the midst of busy, hectic weeks - it was nice to see everyone, catch up, have a glass of wine, etc. I enjoyed it!
- Training went well! My training was called Collaboration For Results - all about using different communication tactics in different situations - loved it. I think it's going to help change my perspective at work (i.e., not get so dang annoyed by my perceptions of other people... here's hoping!) My trainer was AWESOME, too.
- I got to spend time with Reuben! When I got home I got in PJs, folded some laundry, cooked and ran the dishwasher. I also read more Karin Slaugter so it was nice to relax (when I thought i'd be getting home late!)
- I got to read your blogs! I thought I wasn't going to be able to but it worked out perfectly.
So there's my lame post! Sorry, friends - wasn't the best day!! I ended up at 1,922 calories, 255 carbs, 43 fat grams and 119 protein grams. Here's what I ate. And to be honest - today has been pretty blah too! I got up, was in training all day (got in 2.75 during lunch this time - woo!), and then at 3 p.m. she let us leave early. Awesome, right?! Well... it was raining... I live off of a major highway... need I say more? It still took me 45 minutes to get home and I just, exhausted, got on my sweatpants and crawled in bed for some soapnet (The O.C., 90210 - the glory days, people). I'll post today's stats tomorrow - I may eat more! :) I hope you're all having good nights. I'm going to take a nap now - It think i'm still recovering from the weekend - geez, system - get over it!
