Today has been okay overall. I met with 2 clients and then got swamped with phone calls and questions, so I got side-tracked from my plan to get some solid paperwork done today. That’s frustrating. On top of all this, I wanted something quick and easy for breakfast and I am surely thinking that what I ate wasn’t worth all the points I spent on it. Oh well, live and learn.
The other issue that rose today was for the first time in a while a lot of folks were in my office and we went to lunch! I totally behaved myself and had a very lovely and luscious meal for only 9 points at Ruby Tuesdays. I felt very good about this, and realized that I could go out with everyone and still be in control. Sadly, when we returned to the office a huge migraine started to roll into my head like dark clouds over a prairie. I’m still dealing with that headache because all I got on hand is Excedrin Migraine and that has caffeine in it. Damn it! To get a migraine the night before my nuclear stress test which means, NO caffeine 24 hours before the test. URGH.
This does lead me to my fears for tomorrow. I’m worried about the contrast dye, I’m worried about not being able to keep up, and I’m worried about what they might find. I’m hoping they won’t find ANYTHING of worry or concern, but I feel a lot better exploring the concerns rather than letting things go and not dealing with whatever realities I may have. I need to get to bed at a decent hour so I can get up because I’m due at the doctor’s office at 7 AM. Again, URGH…and that is without caffeine.
So one good and bright spot of the day is that my Rosetta Stone German arrived today! I have already installed it and have actually completed 1 lesson on Level 1 (scored all A’s too!) I have picked up a lot over my years as a daughter of a German immigrant, and that will undoubtedly help me on this journey to finally learn how to speak and understand another language. I think I’m going to do another lesson tonight. I’m pretty excited and happy about it. I will keep you posted on my thoughts about the program as they form. It’s too early to tell.
So, as I wrap this up tonight, I’m watching the Season Finale of Oxygen’s Dance Your Ass Off! I want to be on this program so bad, but I mean who can afford to take off from work and be on a reality TV show? Sadly, not I. So I’m watching my DVR copy and am routing for Ruben or Shayla (the girl from PA annoys me so much – sorry, she just does). I’ve been very happy for the people on the show who have lost so much weight, not ridiculously like on The Biggest Loser. It appears so much more consistent and stable to me and more realistic in general. To be honest, I love the concept of showing that weight is not a limiting factor for being a dancer…something I feel I’ve proved through my whole life. So…who won? WELL UM…apparently there’s another week left. Durf.
So that’s where I’m at…here’s what I ate today. I missed 1 fruit/veggie today, and I’m sucking on this whole grain concept. Oh well, tomorrow is another day.

Oh, as an update – the girl from PA is off (thank god); and I completed Lesson 2 as well with almost all A’s – 1 B.
