Day 7 - My coworker vaccumed me today at work. That's special.

I just want to start todays entry by assuring you that all of these crazy shenanigans that I tell you happen to me are true and are not made up.  I think it is important to know that.

So today I wanted to replace the staples in our Ricoh Copier/Printer/Fax.  I opened where I thought the staples were...and saw that there was a bit of toner on the plastic piece so I blew a big gust of air at it to clean it and POOF!  Magenta, Cyan and Yellow all over me.  It looked like a unicorn farted on me.  My poor coworker was on her way out for the day and had to stop and drop everything to literally vacuum me.  Skirt. Blouse. Skin. Everything therein.  See for yourself:

SIGH....

Also, I voted today!!!! And it was my first time!!  I was so excited to finally have a say in where my money goes and who gets to take it!  I was also happy to have a say in local candidates for judges and mayors... It was just awesome to have a voice.  Even if it isn't heard.  I tried.  I did my part. :)

So let's get to it.

BREAKFAST - 340 Calories

You are probably tired of reading this.  I had the same ol' same ol' McD's Egg White & Turkey Sausage Breakfast Bowl with a tall iced coffee sweetened and with extra soy.  They got my order right today, and thank goodness because as my app warned me, PMS season is here and I want to eat everything.  So I NEEDED some more calories up in this diet beyotch.  

LUNCH - 374 Calories

Lunch could not have come soon enough.  It even came early since my coworker left for the day at 1pm.  I was able to go at 12pm.  I went straight to Von's to pick up more veggies.  I am afraid to run out and end up eating whatever is in my cupboards.  Chances are, cupboard food is no good.  So I picked up that salad I had last week, the Arugala one with Goat cheese.  There was only one left!  And I added avocado again because...it tastes good.

I was still hungry (surprise surprise) so I ate 14 pretzel thins.  Then I realized I was not supposed to eat wheat... but I have been eating it this whole time with these darn pretzels!!??  See, this is part of the journey, getting out of the intentional carelessness when it comes to food.  There is nothing wrong with eating these pretzels, but how did I forget that they were a bread?? lol... Sigh... So I moved on to dried apples instead.  These snacks accounted for 155 calories of my 1,360 budget.

DINNER - 167 Calories

I know, I just saw this and also said, WHAT THE HELL?  167 Calories?? Was it lettuce??

NOPE.  It was a ton of veggies:

I chopped the tips and about 3" of the stems from 12 asparagus, I chopped the top of about 8 broccolette and I diced 2 yellow squash, threw in some chive blossoms (which I read contain vitamin C, iron and sulfur, and have traditionally been used to help support healthy blood pressure levels...cool!) I used 1tbsp of Black Bean Sauce that I purchased from 99 Ranch.  While it provided flavor, I honestly think my fancy salts and pepper would have been better.  I tossed out the remainder of the sauce package.  I did buy a huge package of ground turkey so I will be getting more creative with that for the next couple of days.  And I definitely want to make Ka Prao again cause that was damn good.

Today I am having REALLY bad cravings for chocolate.  I know people joke about women wanting chocolate around that time, but guys... you don't understand what I would do for a Hershey's bar right now.  I would do jail time next week for ONE BAR if it had no calorie side effects.  I've already committed this much time to this so I might as well suffer more.  Right?...right?....Guys?
