Joann's Weight Loss Journey

Hi Everyone,

It's been awhile since I've posted, but I've tried to visit everyone as much as possible.  I haven't posted, because nothing much has been going on.... I'm very sad about the possibility that Guido may leave J-land, and I truly hope that he will be able to stay.

I've decided to take on the Challenge from the Magic Smoke journal in honor of Guido, he's such a kind person, and always has kind words of encouragement or support for everyone... I thought it would be great to honor him this way.

So this morning, I decided that my first challenge was to do something for someone I don't even like..... Monday is a co-worker's birthday, but my kindness act was due TODAY.... so this morning, I bought her her favorite cheese bagel (toasted, and with cream cheese).  She was SOOO HAPPY!!!  I put a little note on it that said "Happy Birthday Weekend!!!!"

Later, outside of work, (still on my first day of the challenge) I pissed someone off.... LOL!!!  Did NOT mean to, but I went to go get some fast food for my son, who stayed home from school today, and she charged me more than what I thought the price should be... I wasn't rude, by ANY means, honest.... I just asked why the price difference AS I was handing over the money... she went into a big ole schpeel about how I ordered bacon on the cheeseburger which is extra (the one on the menu board had bacon, too!!) AND that I ordered a double burger AND a LARGE drink which is MORE than the 'combo' meal price...... Oooops, my bad, sorry.  I said "ok, that's right!"  Too late, she was already pissed at me for questioning her. 

So I failed, THERE!!!  Well, the day's not over, I'll still try again!!!   This is going to be a tough week... LOL!!!

I did VERY well, eating wise this week.... I've been geting in all my veggies, and water.  Went out to dinner yesterday, and had pasta, but I portioned it out VERY well and had a salad with it... and that was really the only carbs I've had all week.

OK, I told you I didn't have anything worth writing about.... LOL!!!

Joann

  I too am very sad at the thought of J-Land losing Guido, let's all keep our fingers crossed he will return to us one day.  I had to chuckle at your story about not starting off too well on the good deeds...that is cute.

  Hi! Good to see you around.  I don't think your counter person should have gotten mad because she had to explain something to you. Hugs, Estela
