Ugh.....

Horrible cramps have taken over my day... Feel like I'm about to give birth to the chicken sandwich I had for lunch. Help... S.O.S.

Update

Well, since Tuesday I've lost 2.6 lbs. So I guess that's good.

Friday I went out to lunch with someone and still managed to do well. We went to Atlanta Bread Company. I checked the nutritional info online before I left. It's a good thing too... A panini I was eyeing had 810 calories and 35 grams of fat. How is that even possible? Anyway, I ended up getting the Half and Half: Half a roast turkey sandwich on low-carb multigrain bread with no mayo and no cheese & half of a Chopstix Chicken Salad. It was quite tasty. By my calculations online, it was about 400 calories total. Not too shabby. I even skipped the Diet Coke and the extra bread that came with the salad. AND I resisted when I was asked to split a chocolate croissant.

Sigh. Oh, how I miss France and our daily breakfasts of chocolate croissants. I swear, the French should be huge.. Not the willowy waifs that they are.

Here comes the weekend!

Woman Cannot Live on Diet Coke Alone

Don't you think that would be a good book title? I should trademark that... And by the way, yes, that is my original artwork. Cézanne and his rotting fruit have nothing on me. (Our rivalry goes way back.)

Anyhoo--I know I always say I need to get back on track.. But this time I'm really, really going to try. Well, starting tomorrow. My first goal is to lose 10 lbs. (Thanks Mom). Sandra has promised to be my partner in crime and I'm going to hold her to that.

Just as an update: I'm feeling almost 100% better from the accident. My bruises are mostly gone and my neck and back don't hurt nearly as much as they did. I'm only taking muscle relaxers/pain pills as needed instead of every day. I'm sure my co-workers are grateful for that.
