The daily grind

Photobucket
Today it was back to the daily grind. My first day back at work went pretty good. I got there by 6am ( and then found out later that I didn't have to be ) Most of my day was spent in meetings. I forgot in the 4mos I was away how crazy they are about meetings. I was able to get my jeans on. They were already baggy on me due to the box project I have been working on and moving all those 45lb boxes around. They fit fine in the waist ..... I am sure they would have been loose if I wasn't still swollen from surgery. The two lowest incisions that I have ( one on each side ) are not on my waistline so they were not effected by the jeans. I did put extra padding over the incisions like I said before putting on a bra was on of the things that has been wigging me out. But all went well. I made my protein shake before I left the house and drank it on the way to work. I put in my protein shot to make sure I got it in for the day. This is the way I plan to do it so I make sure and get in the add 45g protein everyday. I packed stuff for another protein shake during the day, including the small blender I got to take to work. It is cool. The cup you blend in is the cup you drink out of. Nice and handy :). I also packed 1/2 Cup low fat cottage cheese and 6oz low fat yogurt. I did great getting my H2O in. I was able to get my full days requirement in while at work. Late morning I ate my cottage cheese and pulled away from my desk over by the window ( I work on the 4th floor ) and turned my back to the floor so I could concentrate on my small bites and chew, chew, chew plus plenty of time between bites. That and the H2O held me over until I got home when I made another protein shake. I stopped by Target on the way home and picked up a few things. For dinner I had 1/2 Cup chicken tortilla soup that I put in the blender and pulverized.......it was YUMMY :) I had planned to fix Jonathan dinner but he said he wanted pizza and ordered himself a philly steak pizza from domino's. I sat right next to him eating my tortilla soup and it didn't even bother me that he was eating pizza!!!! I am sure it will not always be this way but hey I will take what I can get. I am pretty tired but the day went really good... I "might" have an issue with a sabotager at work but at this point I am going to give her the benefit of doubt. If it doesn't get better we will have to have a talk.
