Brian's Birthday

Today is my husband's birthday! He referred to it as "his first adult birthday" because it consisted of sitting at home and a job interview. I tried to make it special by making tacos, one of his favorite meals, and a big chocolate chip cookie in the shape of a heart.

His job interview went well. He thinks he'll get hired, and he should make at least what he was making when he left his other job. He told me the things he likes and the things he doesn't like about what the guy said and I think he should be pretty satisfied with it overall.

I got another call from the employment agency. They were working on getting in contact with my references and trying to get me into that job ASAP. We'll see what happens, I guess.

Diet-wise today I was ok, I guess. My breakfast was waffles and breakfast links. I ate half of my waffle and the links and decided I didn't need anymore. I was pretty satisfied with myself for that. Lunch was a frozen pizza. I wasn't too happy about it, but Brian was hungry and I still needed groceries before I could make tacos, so I ended up eating half. I drank water all day and only one Diet Coke. For supper I made the tacos and I made it more of a taco salad. The lettuce was probably negated by the amount of sour cream. I believe I like sour cream more than the average person. Damn my love for pretty much anything dairy! After that, I made the giant cookie. I ate a decent portion and I shouldn't have ate all of that. I ate the last bite and instantly felt like puking. Waaaaay too much sweet. With that was a glass of milk. It's a start to trying to eat better, I guess.

I was determined I would have something good exercise-wise to write about today. I printed off a bunch of the exercise routines I've been bookmarking that get emailed to me from Woman's Health Magazine. I did the "Fat Burning Yoga". It's two flows consisting of 3 poses each. They looked a little easier than they were. It said to go through the flows and repeat 5-10 times. Considering it's about 90 degrees and humid in our apartment and I haven't worked out in a while, I pushed through the 5th one and left it at that. I'll have to work my way up.

Also in my bookmarks was a pretty cool site I had forgotten about.

Tomorrow I'm getting serious about this. I told Brian we're both going to work at eating better starting tomorrow (since I was making the cookie today). Hopefully I'll have some more good things to write about then.

In other news, my goldfish is starting to turn white. I googled it and it said it's normal... He seems pretty active and healthy. I guess we'll see...
