Day Twenty-six

1/22/2010

Yesterdays lows was more than compensated with today's highs! A day filled with success. Although I had originally planned to be working in Arizona, because of yesterday's flight cancellations I found myself with an office day. Much needed office day I should say! I accomplished so much with work and personal stuff that I felt quite exhilarated.
Stuck with the diet today and was able to eat more veggies now that I am home and already my digestive system is operating better and I feel better! Enough on that topic! However I must confess breaking one rule, I did have 4 cups of coffee today and that may explain my "buzzing bee" persona today since my system is not use to that much caffeine. It was purely medicinal though and accomplished what I needed it two. I will have to scale back so that my system doesn't get dependent. The cupboard is getting bare again though and I will need to do the shopping thing again soon!
My victories today were threefold. One was a work related battle ongoing for over a month and I had nearly given up but tried once more and today was called by my boss and told, "it's done!" She also told me I was a "brat" because I always seem to get my way and I won't let it go! :-) "I was born that way", I told her. The next victory was a conference that I needed to attend and I didn't think the company would pay for but was trying to negotiate for time and travel if I paid for the conference fees. My boss approved the whole thing! Confirmation of my motto, "you never know what you will get if you ask-the worse that can happen is they say 'no'".
The final victory and one more related to this blog, was my weigh in and measurements at Curves. Being that I am completing month one, they require the measurement so, to all those who think I am "cheating" on the rules of the MM diet, I protest and say it was enough of a victory that I managed to stay off the home scales for 4 whole weeks!
I close with the stats:

Weight -12.75 lbs

Bust -1 in
Waist -0.75 in
Abd -2.50 in (HOLY COW!!)
Hips -2.00 in
Arms -0.5 in each (1 in total)
