100 Days Update
- I feel the need to kind of apologize for being so emotional lately, I seem worst on my blog than I am in real life or maybe my blog is what is real and I'm just pretending. Who knows. Either way, I'm ok and dealing with things which is better than any other option.
- I'm actually doing really well with my 100 Day Challenge, despite all the other turmoil going on in my head. Every work day I have been taking the big scary stairs, no matter how much I don't want to. Every single day I drink some water, some days it's closer to 32 ounces and other days it's more like 8 oz. Every single meal I have been including protein even if it's just a banana. I am tempted to add more to my plate for this challenge but I don't want to push myself.
- I'm still trying to find my dream honey greek yogurt, I have yet to find it. I tried a couple different kinds but they aren't as good as the Trader Joe's kind. I can't get to Trader Joe's very often and it's full fat. I will keep
trying new brands to find the right one. - I keep thinking about how to not let my commute destroy me, which it feels like it is. I haven't figured it out yet, other than to find another job. If only my husband could get a luthier job in another state and we could start from scratch.
- I went to get myself an iced vanilla latte as a little pick me up this morning since I haven't had one since last weekend (I used to get them way too often) and they gave me an iced nonfat vanilla latte. I almost said something but then wondered if it was their assumption that I would want non-fat. I know, that's how my head works. Either way I didn't say anytning and took my drink. The non-fat isn't so bad, not great but not so bad.
Have a great weekend!
You’re doing great! Don’t try to take on too much, and don’t beat yourself up if you can’t accomplish one of your goals on a specific day.
You know that if I could find a way to ship you some non-fat TJ’s honey Greek-style yogurt, I would, right? I’m just afraid it would go bad along the way.
Maybe Chicago has a need for luthiers.
As for Starbucks, sometimes we project our feelings onto other people. And hey, the non-fat iced vanilla latte may not have been great, but it was drinkable, right?

Good work on the goals for the week, even though you haven’t had the best week otherwise. That is the sign of a real trooper. You know, there is no need to apologize either. That is part of the beauty of a blog is to just say it like it is. Have you thought about listening to books on cd during your commute? That might be a way to feel more productive during that time.

@South Beach Steve, precisely why I love blogging.

I used to have a two hour commute – one way! I could only do that for six months and ended up getting a job close to home, with a severe pay cut, but my time is worth more! I usually get home by 5:15 and I don’t have to leave my house until 8:45!
Hugs!

@Biz, I wouldn’t even care so much about a paycut, considering what i spend on gas and tires. I am just worried with the work I do (administrative assistant) that now is not the time to move jobs. I put off finding a new job and now I feel I am kind of stuck, mostly because my husband doesn’t have a job.
