Today...

I'm trying - read T-R-Y-I-N-G - to count calories better. This bringing my lunch thing (and being in unfamliar territory at the new job) is actually helping.

I've been more prepared in planning my lunches too!

So for today, here's what I've had:

Breakfast:
Diet Coke - 0 Calories.
Light n Fit Smoothie - 70 calories
Promise SuperShot (for Blood Pressure) - 45 calories

Snack:
Quaker Chocolate Chip Granola Bar - 90 calories

Lunch:
Chex Mix Cheddar 100 Calorie pack
Stoffers Chicken/Broccoli Flatbread - 420 calories (egad.. I didn't realize that... I'm not sure it was filling enough to be worth it...)
Small peach - 31
Diet Coke - 0 Calories

So, in looking at today - I've consumed 756. That leaves me with roughly 700ish calories to have at dinner.

Not bad overall...
I'm still not dropping any weight though (though it's only been a few days....)

The meds my doc put me on (Wellbutrin XL) turned out to be very bad for me. I had a very severe allergic reaction to the 300MG dosage, breaking out in hives (and I mean big red welts the size of a quarter). I swear, I looked like the marshmallow man - sunburn style. I felt like a big giant walking pimple and I itched so terribly. Not bad for a second day at work!

The new job is nice. I really miss my friends at Centex, but they are still my friends and I can see them anytime I like! (Though, if I keep pushing 10 hour days here, I may not be able to find the time to see them...)

Enough for now... have to get busy!
