Today Jan worked from home.. he has a lot of projects going on and needed a day to update everything. I was so excited with the idea of having him here with me… poor Carol. It is 12h07 and I think we talked for 20 min at most.. and we saw each other for a total of maybe 35 min.. that because I went to the computer to give him water and a kiss… Poor honey!
I woke up late today but after that the day was great! We had the 3 meals together..I did a smoothie for my breakfast (his morning snack), I did a tuna salad for lunch and a chicken risoto for dinner. I had popscile (0 points at weight watchers), grapes, so hungry I am! Of course, I spent 1 hour at the elliptical today + 20 min lifting weight – burned a total of 675 calories. A new record for a gym day. more…
I woke up at 7am with Jan and went directly to the scale (after a pee of course). For my total disappointment instead of losing some weight or even keeping the same one from last week, I gained 1 kilo… I was so, so sad. almost depressed. I came back to bed and slept until 10 am. I went to the gym 5 times last week, I rode a bike for 1hour 30 min, I ate less (ok, I think here is the problem.. I keep buying some Weight Watchers treats and instead of eating one a day, I ate 3 a day)… Why it is so hard?? God! more…
Weird title? Yes, especially when you think on me. I have a terrible voice, I cannot sing even happy Birthday but I was “hired” today to be the voice for a mobile language curse. They need a Portuguese speaker and they found me! hehehehe I went there and the sound manager whatever said my voice is excellent. Poor guy, have no idea! Anyway, it is a curious job and something interesting that I can add to my list. more…
I need to day that Weight Watchers is slow compared to other diets, and pills, and miraculous things that I tried before. But I feel much better with this slow diet because I feel I am learning more how to eat and the reasonable amount per day. I lost 700 grams last week, what I believe to be a great amount. I am glad with this result. I lost 5% of my weight and received a nice star as a present and a congratulations in the website. What I do need to learn now is how to say no for free amazing foods. more…
Argh… one more day looking my presentation and I will die… I prefered classes than the pressure of this final presentation, the fear of not getting offer, the anxiety to know everything I will talk about, the stress with the language… I would like to wake up tomorrow, and be next Thursday! But since it is not possible, I will enjoy one more day working in my presentation! more…
I spent in one work day what I usually would spend in one week of meals. First I decided to have sushi in my lunch time – 10 dollars a small tray. It was good but after 1 hr I was starving again. Then I bought cereal bar and gum, what is always more expensive in this places. Finally, at 4pm I bought a smoothie! more…
I was so happy that my headache didn’t come with me to Cincinnati! Since I am here today is, unfortunately, the first day I feel terrible. I just want to go bed and sleep with my pills… It started after a 2 hours meeting with my coach. No, I didn’t receive a bad feedback, actually total the opposite. But I was feeling the pressure of a lot of information and things that I still need to do, and the time that flies… more…
Short post. I am tired. Really tired. I couldn’t sleep early today… my mind was not giving me a break… and today I woke up at 6am thinking I was late, then 6h30 etc… I hate that sensation. The day in the work was good. A lot of meetings. Some really good, as the one with my Associate Director! She is awesome and felt so comfortable with her… Kind of leader that inspires me! Other meetings were harder to understand… tons of words and terms that I don’t know! more…

I am so tired that I will keep the post short today! Basically I could remember how difficult it is to keep track of a diet while working. I ate a cereal bar in the morning and later a bought a sandwich to eat on my way to a meeting. I just had time to eat half of it. Of course I was starving and ate everything that people opened in the meeting: other cereal bar and snacks! I just finished the sandwich on my way back home! more…
I am enjoying my days in my summer job. I haven’t started to actually work yet, but the training sessions are just a prefect transition from school to real life. I can get used to my project in a nice way. Today I had lunch with my manager and a lot of other people from my division. Everybody looks really nice.
During last night our cat again woke us up in the middle of night. This time she left something fail and it made a strong noise. The problem is that we couldn’t figure out what was this thing… we didn’t find anything so far! She is getting used to our new home… it is just a big transition for a cat. Today the internet and TV were installed and my husband finally got everything he needs to work! Tomorrow is the last night in our air mattress. I will not miss my campaign style of living! more…
