But tape measure is still lost so can't tell if that is going anywhere. The gut does feel like it's going in the right direction, but I need to find that tape measure. I was able to bake some chicken before heading to work. I lost track of time before work so I had to hurry in. I worked 2pm to 10 pm so I figured that I could eat something before work and call the “lunch break” dinner. But as I had lost track of time I didn't have time to eat anything so I grabbed a pack of hot dogs and ate those before clocking in. Dealt with a low level headache all day long. I woke up with...

I guess yesterday's “eyes open jump out of bed was an anomaly. I had absolutely no “go” this morning. This really was the kind of day where (when?) I was just kind of waiting for the day to end so I could just go home. I keep coming back to the idea that I need to get a “Grown Up Job” I just can't but wonder if I ruined everything by staying at the store for so long. People tell me that I have a good work history because I worked at one place for over 20 years. But now I'm 37 years old with no education, other experiences outside of working at a grocery store. I've been told that it's never too late to go back to school and get an education etc. But I barely have the money or mental energy to work at what I'm doing. IDK maybe it's just a matter of having “Up” days and “Down” days.

I am proud that I avoided spending any money today. It seems like a simple thing to boast about. But working at a grocery store surrounded by the things that I have addictions to. Seems dramatic, but the other day when I was getting the stuff to get the recipe video that I was wanting to be working on it took just as much self control to avoid the Mac and Cheese as it did to avoid the Beer Cooler. Today as I was leaving for lunch I walked out of the store and thought, “Should I buy an energy drink?” But the counter thought to that was I have water at home. I did think about buying some more Seltzer Water on the way home this evening, but I'm thinking that the amount of Seltzer that I drank yesterday was one of the reasons that I'm weighing more today than I did yesterday. I don't think that anything in the seltzer is making me gain weight, I just think I tried to drink too much at one time so it was more about the volume than the ingredients.

And yes, happiness isn't a number on the scale, but it did hurt to see the weight 2.8 lbs higher today than it was yesterday. I'm just trying to remind myself that the daily fluctuations are normal.

Yeah, short post, but I can't think of anything else to say.
