1st Day Working at Home

Today is officially my first day at home! I’m hoping everything goes well so I can continue to stay at home.

Hubby and I got up this morning at 5 AM after a restless night. I think I was just nervous about the day and hoping everything would go right. I woke up feeling like it was the first day of a new job- you know those stomach butterflies and all. :)

For breakfast I had 2 slices of wheat toast with almond butter and a medium banana for 6 points.

After hubby left for work, I headed out for my morning workout. I did Week 6:Day 3 of the C25K workout- 2.25 miles of continuous running! I was so proud of myself. It took me about 30 minutes. I burned 458 calories. It was about 67* and 100% humidity. It didn’t feel too bad.

I had extra time in the morning, which was awesome- I loved it! I made up an iced coffee (1.5 points) and signed in for work! Everything went smoothly with the exception of one program- which I will have to get fixed.

For my first break- I ate 2 small peaches (.5 point). I counted out 16 animal crackers to munch on until lunch time.

For lunch, I had a salmon burger with 1.5 cups of green beans. (4.5 points) DELISH! So much better than my cold sandwiches.

I had 1/2 cup of light vanilla yogurt and 1/2 cup of strawberries for dessert- this is one of my faves. (1.5 points)

For my last break, I decided to drink a diet orange pop. I didn’t know if I was really hungry or if I wanted to eat out of habit. It was refreshing and delicious!

I was glad it was time to be done working because we were starting to have PC problems- not my problem, but network problems. Hubby was on his way home, so when he got home we cooked dinner together. I was craving this all day long, I don’t know why- but it didn’t disappoint! Creamed Beef over toast. The wax beans are fresh from our garden. (5 points)

For dessert I had fresh peaches over vanilla ice cream for 3.5 points. It’s that time of year when we get boxes of Missouri peaches from the in-law’s- YUM!

A while later, Hubby and I cuddled up to watch Wimbledon, a garage sale find. It was pretty good. We split a bag of jolly time healthy pop kettle corn and I also had 15 pretzel M&M’s for 3.5 points. This was such a treat. I love popcorn, but have been avoiding it a little bit because it shows a false gain on the scale from the sodium, and that’s just depressing sometimes. :)

Overall, I had a good day. It was nice to be home and working in my comfy yoga pants and a t-shirt. :) Tomorrow, I have to bring my PC in to fix the program issue. So I can work a 1/2 day at the office and drive home on my lunch break to work the last 1/2 of the day.
