I spent some time planning my next two vacations and those studies are right, it made me feel better. Also reassured that I will not run out of PTO (if all goes as planned) which is good because I did not check that before I booked my flight!

My desire to lose weight and not spend money is being severely challenged by my desire to eat my way out of frustration.
I FEEL YOU, MSBELLE.
I had a bunch of Easter candy in my purse that I thought would last more than one day, but which I finished off before lunch.
That is usually my problem too, msbelle. That and I get a lot of quick cheap pleasure out of food. Not easy to replace!
I didn't buy any Easter candy. However, my coworkers brought in all their leftovers, as well as donuts and homemade cinnamon rolls.
NYT had a headline this morning along the lines of "You can extend life expectancy by severely restricting calories," and I was like, not a chance. I will negotiate with you on vegetables and exercise on the like, but I do not want to spend the rest of my life severely restricting my calories.
I have no Easter candy. I didn't get any this year. BUT, I met with the head trainer where I work out to have a strategy meeting this afternoon and she wants me to eat more. More specifically to always eat before my 7:30 AM workout, which I do anyway, and to absolutely always eat within 45 min after, which I never do. We talked for almost an hour and decided that the eat every hour or two just a little bit works best for me. I've done that before and it does work, just requires some planning. And more protein, blah blah, tough for a non-meat eater stuff. Less workouts, sniff, because I am going to injure myself. 4 a week instead of 5. So something else like swimming or beach walking the off days. A plan.
I love it when my boss gives me task to do with a project that I have not been involved with at all. And then only gives me like 1/3 of the info I need to do the task, and I find out that I am missing info all throughout the process, so I don't even know what to ask him for until I hit another roadblock.
Yeah, that sounds great.
Almost as good, I cannot connect to our ERP, or run excel, or run reports on our propreitary information suite. So I'm real productive.
