3 for 3

Well, my new foods aren't coming today, so starting tomorrow isn't going to work out as far as only using NS foods goes. Maybe Saturday. I am filling in with some of the foods I have leftover, but unfortunately they aren't the ones I really like. I'm sure anyone who has done NS knows that feeling where your favorite foods are gone and you're waiting for your next shipment to have the ones you want most.

I did follow through with the plan to clean out the fridge last night. It's now stocked with lots of bottled water since I had that on hand. Yogurt and string cheese and some more veggies will go in there tonight. I still have my fruit problems, but I'll get some applesauce and just do the best I can. If I end up short fruits here and there I'm not going to stress about it. I'll take a vitamin and give up on forcing myself to eat what I don't want.

So, I'm still here trudging along and I will eat better while I'm waiting. I had some leftover NS cereal for breakfast and some light oj. At lunch I will pick up a grilled chicken salad, and I'm sure I can scrape up a healthy dinner. Since I'm going to the store, I can always pick up a South Beach frozen dinner if my mind doesn't come up with something better before then.

Thursday is going to be a good tv night for me now. I watch Survivor, Grey's Anatomy, and ER. I'll plan to indulge in some tv watching for sure. Hmmm, that gave me an idea. I'm going to commit right now to riding the exercise bike for at least 15 minutes while I watch tv tonight. Hopefully I can do more later, but 15 will be my promise.

Work is going very well. I got lots of pats on the back yesterday from all over the company. It feels good, but really I've never been good at taking compliments or anything. In school, I was always in gifted classes, so I wasn't anything special there, just one of the crowd. I never stood out in any way. At home, my parents were never really happy. If I got a B, it should have been an A, and if I got an A, it should have been an A+. Anyway, compliments are just not something I'm accustomed to, so I become very awkward in any situation where a compliment comes flying my way.

Speaking of work, I guess I should get back to it.


****Evening update**** I did it, I exercised for over 20 minutes and beat my goal!
