Weigh-In 232.2 - down 16.1 total (-1.2 from yesterday)
Breakfast - Just a protein bar. Lots to do today! That's gonna be the next 4 days. Lots of work to do, strange schedule, not a lot of time for overeating. Band Camp is a diet's dream come true!
Lunch - Leftover cilantro lime chicken from yesterday. Yes - Chicken. Ran out of shrimp so real quick cooked up some chicken last night to throw in here. I did it as a bowl. No bread at all! Yes sir!
Snacking - Stress eat time. So let me set the scene. Picture it. Sicily - 1922.
Orrrrr, Cresskill - 2018. I arrive back from a nice vacation to my band room. I know that the floors had been waxed and that means that EVERYTHING was taken out, put back in and likely unplugged. For some reason though, I'm still surprised every year by this. This year, I had a good excuse. I was on vacation. Out of sight, out of mind. But wait, there's more. Once I realized that I can't print, use the smartboard or even the computer in the band room, I headed to my office to use the laptop and saw that the printer in there was plugged in. EUREKA!!!!! - but alas - I had brought that computer home to write music over the summer and forgot it in my dining room. So Now I have to figure this out. How am I going to print stuff. I can go to C-4- the teachers hangout room with the computers hooked up to the copy machine. I'll print direct. But no, that machine prints out smudges at random which makes printing drill and music pretty impossible. So how about the library? They have computers and a copy machine. Ok - - - - - OH WAIT: can't go that way - they are waxing the floor. I literally have to walk ALL THE WAY AROUND THE SCHOOL to go 30 feet. Ok, so I get to the library and the 3 computers by the copy machine - well, they are GONE! Luckily, there are a million more computers which happen to be hooked up to a printer. But the printer was blocked by like 15 laptop carts. I squeezed my fat ass back there to find out that there was no paper. No problem, there is plenty of paper across the room. Finally get this all set up, jump on Google Drive, start printing and i'm on my way. Now somewhere in the middle of this whole thing, I was in my office, opened up the freezer and saw that there was an ice cream cookie sandwich in there that I had forgotten about. Alice Apice made it and somehow I ended up with it in my freezer. I guess I had grabbed my lunch and eaten it in my office and never got to this delight. So anyway, I was like "EFF THIS! I'M EATING A COOKIE ICE CREAM SANDWICH! THAT WILL SHOW THESE PRINTERS WHO'S BOSS!" Well, I don't know what that solved, but it really did calm me down. Side note - I now love working in the library. Printer AND copy machine within spitting distance? And with google drive/docs/etc, other than writing music, I can do everything I need from any computer I want. I dig. Love the library! And for those of you who don't know, that is stay its like getting things done at school in the summer :)
On a side note, huge props to the custodial staff for knocking off a HUGE to do list every summer and getting the school up and running every September by day 1.
And by the way, if you were wondering who, in fact, is the boss? It's Angela.
Dinner - I was supposed to eat another cilantro lime chicken, but instead I had 2 slices of pizza. Why? Because it was our section leader meeting the night before band camp and I decided to feed the kids. They have worked hard this summer, so what's a few pies? I can't just let them eat it! Normally, this is a killer for me - at least 4 slices! But I held back and did good.
And that's it for today. Kept it light and easy. Weigh in tomorrow: 229.3. Officially dropped the vacation weight and the pre-vacation weight in 2 days :) now another big push coming, I can feel it.
