I hate Saturday morning. I have to be at work at 10:30 a.m., and don't leave until 10 or 11. I don't get to see my kids until the next morning. Eric is usually asleep when I get home. I don't have time to go to any yard sales or flea markets. If I have a shower or anything to go to, I have to put in to get the day off weeks in advance, and pray that I get it off.
But, I do have to say that I choose to do this job. It is a crappy job, and it is incredibly hard on my body, but there is no other job that I can make this much money in the amount of time. That is the plus side. I make almost as much working 2 days a week as a waitress as I did working full time as a preschool teacher. And I get to spend 5 days a week at home with my babies.
So, what does all this have to do with anything?!? Good question, thanks for asking! How do I stay on my diet while at work? I am still working through that one. I have work a pedometer to work, and on average I walk at least 10 miles on a double shift. But what do I eat? Another good question. Usually, I order something for lunch, and immeadiately put half in a box in the cooler so I can have it for dinner. I always get fruit salad for my side. But, we don't have a lot to offer on the Guilt Free menu. I can't eat the Hula salad evryday. First off, I don't really like the fat free honey mustard dressing, and you need a little dressing. I do love the Caribbean chicken, with broccoli and fruit, but I think it is too expensive. I have discovered that I can order from the kids menu, and grilled chicken is an option. I may do that today.
The problem is when you get so hungry that you need to eat a snack quick. Thew easiest thing to grab? A breadstick, and dipping it in blue cheese dressing is divine. Do you have any idea how may calories and grams of fat that is?!? It is insane! Or, saltine cracker and dip them in butter. I wish I could get to the celery sticks, but you have to ask a cook for those, and they get cranky about it. I sometimes will grab fruit, but I eat so much of it there, that I need to watch myself.
So, here is my other dilemma. What do I have for breakfast, since I don't get to eat until about three o'clock. I should have a Slim Fast, but scrambled with cheese and turkey bologna sounds to good right now! And the protein would get me through to lunch. But, I do burn a good amount of calories at work, so the Slim Fast is a better option. Dilemma. Since I am so lazy, and rushed for time, I will probably go for the Slim Fast. By the way, I love chocolate Slim Fast!! It is not hard for me to stick to Slim Fast, because I love it! The only problem is that I can only get the original formula in a generic, and only in chocolate, so I can't get any other flavors to change it up, because it adds 4 grams of fat per shake, which is craziness!
Okay, enough rambling. Time to get ready for work. Have a good day, everyone!
