Chris1979's Journal, 08 Feb 10

Well the Superbowl party was a success, and I was very happy that the Saints won for the first time ever! We had a great time with our neighbors. I made chicken poppers from the WW site and they were a big hit! And only 2 points per serving. At my fiance's request I also made something NOT healthy at all for the boys... sausage links wrapped in bacon that has been dipped in brown sugar and baked. He LOVES them. They were the first appetizer to be gone. I didn't have a single one.

Then our neighbor brought out this machine they have that makes frozen margaritas. I LOVE margaritas. They are my favorite drink. I know they are super bad. I had 2 anyways. So bad, but they were delicious and I enjoyed every drop. Oops. I'm going to do a low day tomorrow to make up for my transgressions over the weekend! I was not happy w/ the scale this morning so that's why I'm waiting until tomorrow to weigh in.

Today when I got to work I saw they had finally fired this guy that sits near me. Now I'm not one to make trouble or tattle but I was wondering when he was going to finally get the ax. He constantly makes remarks about women, reeks of alcohol, and last week when his boss was away he didn't come in like 3 days and didn't take them as vacation days. His desk is empty and his name is crossed out so I guess this happened on Friday afternoon. I hope he gets the help he needs, I really think he's an alcoholic. One lady saw him stumbling down the hallway at like 10 AM!

I can't believe we are supposed to get MORE snow on Wednesday. I honestly don't know where we are going to put it. Our yard is a postage stamp size and it's already filled with snow!

THREE THINGS I'M GRATEFUL FOR TODAY:
1) Friendly neighbors
2) Coffee!
3) A new week to get back on track w/ my eating

Have a productive day everybody!

I had a couple margaritas last night too. My husband started making them and I didn't stop him. (We'd just gotten home from NH so we didn't go to any party or anything, just us--chips and salsa and some margaritas for dinner.) Those sausage things sound amazing. Bravo for not having even one! That story about your office so reminded me of a guy I worked with. We sat on a trading desk so I could see his computer and he was always looking at pics of girls in bikinis, IMing the other guys stuff like, "did you see XYZ's ass today??" and talking really loudly about doing coke and "drinkin' DOM" and then coming in really late with ridiculous excuses. There is so much of that though, in finance. I think. I always tell people that they days of Mad Men are not so far away as some might imagine.

Yea for Chris!!!! Margaritas are one of my all time favorite drinks too ... so sad that they have so many calories!!! My next favorite is a Long Island Ice Tea. See how wicked I am? Congrats on a great party and permitting yourself to enjoy the margaritas ... no regrets!!!

I'm not much of a drinker, but I love me some virgin pina coloda! I know how bad they are calorie wise, but sometimes, when I'm in the Mexican resturant, I just have to have one - whipped cream and all!! You'll combat it with your low calorie day today, and you'll be right back down. Yeah, we are getting that snow on Wed too. I'm so not looking forward to it, but the sooner it comes the better, because I don't want it to interfere with our little weekend trip. Have a great day!!!!

Mmmm, margaritas! I think I've seen sugar free margarita mix either online or in the store - I wonder if it's any good? I am so jealous of all the snow - we can't get a measly inch down here in Northeast Texas while all my friends two hours north of me are covered in snow today. One snow day a year, that's all I'm asking!

Well, the margaritas are not a big deal. I'm looking forward to seeing that next weigh-in Chris.

I love margarita's too. I am so glad you enjoyed yourself and a low day will help to balance you out. Those sausages sound awesome. I can't believe you didn't try any after making them. What will power!
