Decent Day

Another long day! I worked 4pm-10pm in the video store today... like I said before, it's hard to keep eating on the proper schedule when I have to work in the evening and I'm sleeping in late. I slept in until 1:30 I believe... I actually don't even remember. I ate lunch and lounged around until I had to go to work.

I worked really really hard at work. I was amazed that despite how lovely it was outside, people still wanted to come and get movies. I would have totally been outside if I didn't have to be in that silly store giving them movies! It was gorgeous. Well, despite a few crazy customers the evening wasn't too bad. I stayed on my till all night though, running back and forth from there to the door. I ran probably only 20 movies the entire six hour shift.

I've been thinking... can work count as exercise/activity? Because often when I am working in the video store I am "running" around and even break a sweat most days! So when I work a six hour shift, I wonder if I really am getting in some exercise, even if it is not conventional. Maybe in that sense, six hours of work could equal one hour of exercise. I think that's an even trade. Only in video though, because I really do not do too much moving around in photo. And I'm not saying that I will kill conventional exercise completely... I just wonder if I should count that into my daily WW points. Food for thought.

Anyways, I was worried when I came home that I would not have enough points for the supper I had in mind. I journaled everything I had eaten today before I even made anything. I had more than enough, which was a good suprise. And then I went and opened up my freezer, grabbed one of those flatbread things that I love but are worth 10 points, and started to open it... when all of a sudden something else caught my eye. I love those Healthy Choice Steamer Bowls... you stick the whole thing in the microwave and it cooks all at once, sauce and noodles/rice/meat/whatever, but not mixed together, leaving whatever veggies and stuff that is in there to remain snappy and good, not soggy and gross like some microwave meals. And it's much more filling, yummy, and was only worth 6 points! I decided that was a good trade. I popped it in the microwave, set it for 6 minutes, grabbed some cottage cheese and sat down. Man was it good. Supper was filling. I was quite suprised.

I stopped at Walmart before I came home from work, and got a couple of things. Single serve chip bags. SunChips actually, which are delicious and a little more filling than the greasy ones. Soup! I love the Progresso Light single serve soups... the WW points are right on the label. The kind I get is Vegetable Noodle. Sooo good. And one full cup of it is only one point. They are much cheaper at Walmart than other stores I have seen them at.

And I broke down to my craving!! I bought those delicious strawberry fruit bars. $3 for one box of six. My cheap side aches. It's worth it though, with the taste. And one popsicle has only 80 calories. Much better than a regular popsicle or ice cream. However, I did a bad. I have been craving chocolate like nobodys business. I bought two Hershey bars while I was at Walmart, and ate one on my way home. I did the point count after, of course. 6 points for one whole bar! Thats worth the whole HC bowl I ate! Just for some chocolate. Well, either way it was delicious, and I had the points left to eat it. So now that craving is over, and I can move on. Thats the problem with my cravings... I eventually HAVE to eat whatever it is I a craving just so it is removed from my brain. It's like a fire... starts with a spark, spreads to a giant flame, and only water (thing I'm craving) can put it out. I was up really late last night just thinking about those popsicles. Now that I have had one, I'm ready to go to bed and fall asleep comfortably. Which I think I should do right about now. haha.

Tomorrow I work late again... hopefully I will wake up early enough to eat breakfast right away and start right.
