New Job & Change in FPs

If you've looked at my daily points tracking at all, you may have noticed that I've already gone over my 25 FPs for this week, and so I thought I'd just explain myself a little. I decided the very next day after I set this week as 25 FPs that that wasn't what my plan was anymore. This week is the one week in the month (ahem) in which I NEED those 35 FPs - and I used almost 1/2 of them the very first day. I was craving chocolate and icecream like nobody's business, and normally on a day like that I would say "to heck with it" and quit counting points entirely - probably for the whole week. But since we're doing this little competition, I decided to have a treat but to still count it. Now you may say "oh my goodness, she had 15 points worth of icecream!! what kind of binge is that??" but I have to tell you that that is only 1 small blizzard from Dairy Queen - and that stopping after that was still showing control on my part cuz the kids had a banana split which they only ate about 1/8th of and we left 7/8ths of a perfectly good banana split behind. boohoo. So, you see, i was still in control!! :o)
So, i'm using 35 FPs this week - and hopefully no more. I have 3 days left here to split up only a few that are left.

In other news, I started a new job on Friday - serving at Boston Pizza parttime. I've only had the one shift so far, but I really really liked it so far. I think its gonna be great. I'm still doing my dayhome 3 days per week, but in addition I'm going to waitress 2 or 3 evenings a week as well. And I'm excited about it. AND I'm excited about how I look in my BPs uniform! teehee. I've wanted to work there before, but thought I couldn't cuz I didn't look anything like what their normal servers look like (you know what I mean... they don't really hire frumpy people, or obese people, or dishevelled looking people... not that I was any of those things before, but I still didn't think I could get hired there). WELL, I will have to take a picture of me in my uniform for you, because for a huge twist - I LOVE my uniform -and it makes me look thin and I feel beautiful in it (for now anyway - ask me that again after I've been working there for a year!) :o) I also love the extra exercise that I'll be getting as I'm working at BPs - lots of speed walking and carrying heavy plates is exercise after all!!

So, that's an update on me. Happy Sunday everyone!

Yeah for your new job and that you feel so great in that uniform. I most definetly want to see a picture of you. Maybe we will come eat there one day when you are working. (or is it weird serving friends?)

7/8th's of a banana split left behind...nooooooooooooo......
I know that was hard to do, but good on ya for doing it. Good for you for still counting your points and not "sneaking" a cheat. So proud of you Colleen.

Congrats on the new job!

I have a feeling you're gonna see a great loss this week...I can hardly wait to hear what it is. And as much as I want to beat you at this challenge? Don't go over your flex points!!! You can do it.
