I AM WITH YOU! 

I'm IN!! 

Way to slay the demons, New Jon! I saw in another comment you came here looking for calorie tracking and found so much more. That's exactly how I feel too. FS is so much more than calorie tracking.  

That is absolutely true. Came here looking for a tool; thought I found a tool box. Then realized I actually found a tool manufacturing facility ran by a band of climbers of mountains located by the exact mountain I was climbing. How dang lucky can one guy be?  

LOL--love your posts! How'd you make out with lunch today? My hard day is tomorrow--everyone orders out. I bring salad all week and then order a salad. LOL. I think I should just save the $12.00 bucks and bring my own salad tomorrow. That's almost $50.00 a month and maybe by the end of the month I'll have lost enough weight to go buy a new pair, new size--jeans. LOL LOL LOL.  

I did good I think. Thanks for asking. I was so tired this morning, I cut my alarm off & fell back to sleep. Luckily, I jarred myself awake for some reason about 34 minutes before an early morning meeting I had with my night shift crew. Ran through the shower while brushing my teeth & practically got dressed by the time the last drop of water hit the drain. Hit the door one minute before the meeting. So, no chicken wrap & no apple for lunch. Our cafeteria is graciously skilled at deep frying grease & occasionally, a crunchy piece of chicken or pork-chop can be found in it. So no options there. I beat up a vending machine awhile ago as a preemptive measure to trick HR into helping keep me away from Mountain Dew. So, I'm not even allowed near them. And to top things off, I had a corporate training event & status update for a vendor in the plant performing a machine upgrade, scheduled back to back; THROUGH LUNCH. Now the stage is set, I can answer your question. Knowing I had not packed my lunch, I was already apprehensive about my options. I made the post this morning when I realized my schedule was going to be a life sucking event. As things dragged on, of course I got hungrier & hungrier. By the time I met with my vendor, I believe I was only moments away from my stomach consuming my spine. He was pissed off. You should have heard him. He growled & growled. Sacred my vendor to death, cause he gave me all kinds of free tools & stuff. I think he was afraid I was going to cook him. I'm not sure how many calories are in a pressed wood chip table wrapped in laminate, but I almost had to research it & add it to the database. But just when I was about to break down, the meeting was over. I hit the road at warp speed & I'm pretty sure I didn't hit anybody. Slid into McAllister's parking lot & was out the door before the engine stopped. I had a Grilled Chicken Caesar Salad & an unsweetened tea; & only bit the plate twice. It was great. 

Sorry Jillzee00. I meant to with you luck with your day tomorrow before I saved. So good luck tomorrow! 

I'm ALL in...MOST days...LOL...you paint some really NICE word Pictures...thanks so much for sharing !!!!!!! 

Wow--you rock. I'm standing on tippy toes and high fiving you--LOL. You did great! My stomach was telling me off this morning, so I just gave it more caffeine and made it overwork because my brain finally kicked in and had me working overtime. LOL. Finally at ten I gave it a whole 90 calorie l/f yogurt. LOL. My daughter's off of school this week, so I've been sleeping in an extra 20 minutes each day. Poor dogs are dancing with their legs crossed by the time I get up and the cats have walked over my head, up & down my leg/spine trying to wake me up. I sure wish it would get nice out. I want to walk at lunch time :) 

WTG  

WOW!!! Quite the day!!
