You know, I always say that and I can't remember where it's from. Is it The Office? Or a different comedy? I don't know.
I didn't write yesterday because I was completely exhausted after all my meetings, plus the boyfriend and I were celebrating that one of those meetings went very well and it looks like I'll be working with a well-known and large ($4 billion dollar) company, if all works out. Unfortunately, I spent a large part of the day in traffic, so my back is killing me today.
Anyways, as I was saying, we celebrated last night. My idea of celebrating something is ordering take-out Indian food from Shalimar Cuisine of India to eat while watching a movie. The movie next on AFI's top 100 just happened to be Schindler's List
, so in an ironic turn of events, I ended up celebrating my career advancement by watching a heartbreaking but brilliant film about the Holocaust. Eating wasn't super great or super terrible yesterday, but I have been having a few more binge urges. The boy-toy actually saved me this evening - I nearly gave in, but as I was heading into the kitchen to grab the chocolate chip muffins purchased for his enjoyment, he asked "Is that on your meal plan?" It isn't, so I sat back down.
Normally, I would tell families not to police their loved ones who have eating disorders, but my boyfriend knows I want him to, and that it keeps me accountable. We have a pretty good communication thing going, so I'm chill with it.
Today, I had cereal for breakfast at work. I worked later than I expected (sooo many excel spreadsheets) and I hadn't brought my lunch with me, so I had a Gogurt and Fiber One bar as a snack, then ate a very late lunch of left-over Lamb Vindaloo and (also left over) roast beef. For dinner, we had grilled turkey paninis with pesto and 6 Italian cheeses.
So, overall, this is a good month: I'm more than half of the way through my menstrual cycle, and this is usually around the time where I begin cramming food into my mouth like a crazy mofo, so this is really an improvement. I also made my lunch to take to work with me tomorrow, so it's good.
I also wrote (what I think) is a really good blog update today about liberal bias in academia. My dad loved it, at least. :)
