But that's just my biased opinion.
Okay, for documentation purposes let me describe my typical day:
7:00 AM - wake up & get ready
8:00 AM - Breakfast of either 2 scoops Apex Fit chocolate shake (mmmmmm... tastes like a REAL chocolate shake) or a FiberOne bar, and one Metagenics b-complex
12:00 PM - Lunch of leftovers from night before or a frozen dinner of some type
3:00 PM - Fiber One bar or some form of chocolate I shouldn't eat OR yogurt
5:00 PM - Leave work for the d
I don't get it. I worked SO hard today and still didn't meet my calorie burn goal for the day. I walked to campus twice, did yoga, did 45 minutes of exercise, walked for 10 minutes that evening, in addition to just sort of moving all day. Well, whatever, I still met my daily defecit goal, so now I can have junk at my dad's party.

I got a call from the other job that I've been considering. A few weeks back I went to lunch with them while they told me all about the job and asked me to apply. I applied but didn't hear back for awhile. So she calls today and says they'd like me to interview next Wednesday. I have very mixed feelings about this job. On one hand it pays a lot more and it's an opportunity to really make a difference, but on the other hand I really like my job now. Plus, we're hiring a full-time programmer so I'
Okay, now I'm confused. Got on the scale again today and it showed a 1 pound LOSS from last week. It was even after lunch and having water. I don't get this. Maybe I'd actually retained water in vegas because of the heat.
My intern got another job today making more than me. I'd actually referred him to this fella that calls me all the time about jobs. I usually turn him down because these jobs are "contract to permanent" with no benefits and I'm all about stability with my band loans and all
I got on the scale today at the gym after a week in Vegas where I threw caution to the wind. A 3 pound gain. I'm surprised I didn't gain more than that, actually, what with 2 trips to the Cheesecake factory, a Bellagio Eclaire and Caramel Brownie, and every meal being some sort of restaurant food. I was honestly terrible. I TRIED to work out, but the gym cost $25/day and I'd take a 3 pound gain over a $150 gym bill. In addition to that, it was the temperature of the sun outside so walking around
I got the runs today because I ate a chili dog from Weinerschnitzel last night, so I'm staying home today (but working). :faint:
