I find that sometimes, turning off the wifi helps.
Though that's just when I'm attempting to be productive.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
I think I'm not that desperate. Yet, at least.

ION I've been exploring My Fitness Pal's app. Very nice for tracking food (helps me with mindful eating, if I stop to think about what I've been eating long enough to note it down). One thing the website can do that I haven't figured out how to do on the app is putting in all the ingredients of a recipe and letting it do the math on calories per serving. This comes in handy at work, where there is someone whose doctor and parents want very much to lose weight. Months of changes to how we plan the menus at that house have not yeilded any weight loss for that person (but the person who is already a bit thin IS losing weight). So the powers that be have lowered the boom and giving a fairly strict calorie restriction. I'm doing the best I can to steer the menus to what I consider healthy (boatloads of veggies to start with). And thank heavens Aldi started accepting credit cards because if we couldn't do the shopping there, I don't see how we'd manage the grocery budget there.

Huh. I hit post before I finished my thoughts. To show we are complying with the doctor and dietician's orders, we are tracking this person's caloric intake. Me? I don't know how successful it will be, given the person's health history. But we'll be able to show that we did what we are suppsed to do. And it was very reassuring to have the dietician comb through the menus I've designed and say they are on the right track.

Covering one's ass is at times a worthwhile consideration.

Most of my coworkers at that location are enthusiastic about finding out the healthiest foods to put on the table there. But there is one who just does not get 1200 Cal/day means DO NOT add cheese and fried potatoes to things. Also the person with the calorie restriction is suggestible in certain ways. If she hears someone say "I don't like that" or "that sounds nasty" - she will suddenly decide she does not like it, even if she has eaten it before and liked it. So a perfectly good meal centered around fish in a format other than processed sticks gets bad-mouthed and the person doesn't want it. And naturally that coworker's idea of appropriate substitution is... sausage, potatoes, cheese.

So, I think I've had a pretty good last couple of days. What could make it better? Got my raise - 3%! The base was 2% and I had been hearing that the max was 2.5% this year, so I'm pretty happy all things considered.
I'm in the office today for a corporate "rebranding meeting". I need to find a corporate bingo card cause this is going to be a load of all that crap. But we are all expected to attend, so I'll be a good worker-bee and play along.
