We be settin' records!!!

It's only the first week of June, not even summer yet, and we are supposed to set a record high temp today.....107!!! Yikes. And, since I live in the lowest part of the valley, it's always about 4-5 degrees hotter than what they officially report from the airport. So my house could be in 110+ temps today. Oh joy, I can see the meter spinning now on my electricity.

I'm back at work today and since I have a ton of stuff to do, I put it aside to write here. Actually, some things are now working, others hopelessly in limbo. I am alone today. I recently moved to the executive suites and since all the exec assistants are off on Sat/Sun, I have the entire place to my self. That's good and bad. I have to hold both ends of any conversation, though I usually win any debate. Usually!! It does get a bit lonely here on the weekends though.

I called jury services today and I do have to report on Monday at 8am. What's really nice is that you have to park like four blocks away and walk to the Justice center. Not bad? How about doing it in about 105 degrees??? Why didn't I just do my jury duty in March when I had the chance.

I bring both my NS breakfast and NS lunch to work each day. Though this week is a bit abbreviated so I only had to bring three days worth of meals. I have Sat, Sun & Tuesday. Plus I have some of my additions like oatmeal here. Usually breakfast and lunch additions are always the same when I'm at work. Breakfast is a protein (usually a hard boiled egg, string cheese or non-fat yogurt) plus my oatmeal a fruite and NS breakfast. Lunch is usually a NS entree with a sandwhich and a fruit. The latter has lately been boca burgers, but I also will bring sliced turkey or chicken. I also have a salad I can have for lunch, but it's just too much so I save that for later.

Today's menu :

Breakfast : NS entree (Nutricinamon squares), 1/2 cup oatmeal, fruit cup, string cheese. That's two carbs, one fruit, one protein, one NS meal. Total calories 380.

Lunch : NS entree (cheesy pasta w/broccoli), two slices light 9 grain bread, one fat free slice cheese, one boca burger, one fruit cup. That's NS entree, 1 protein, one fruit, one carb. I still have a salad left for lunch, but will hold it until dinner. Total calories : 470.

Dinner : NS Entree (cheese and spinach ravioli) over 2 slices of Polenta. Stir fry veggies with light soy sauce and mandarin oranges. total calories : 559

Late Snack : NS dessert (chocolate biscotti) with 1 tspn of peanut butter, 1/4 cup non-fat cottage cheese topped with 1/2 cup mandarin oranges and a spear of pineapple, 6 almonds. Calories : 360

Today's total calories come in just under 1800, which is perfect for me.

Sunday will be the end of week 5 and 35 days on Nutrisystem. I will report my weigh in Monday evening after I return from jury duty.
