It's convenient that the Pound Plunge ended just in time for the ACPA conference and subsequent on campus interviews (much traveling in my future). I'm trying real hard not to gain back the 13 pounds I lost (I have to keep reminding myself how far I've come or I'll just say, eh, I haven't lost that much...But my bag that I carry the essentials I need for job searching--including this laptop I'm currently writing on--has to weigh at least that much, and let me tell you, it's a bitch to carry all day long!) However, I'm finding it difficult to make the best choices.

Yesterday was the first day of Placement, and I discovered two major things. There is no food nearby and there is no drinks nearby, except for the Starbucks attached to the building. So yeah. I could have walked across the street and down the escalator to the mall food court, except I had exactly one hour, it was raining, and my feet were KILLING me from wandering around all morning searching for food and water. I didn't bring any snacks because I wasn't sure what the place would look like, and I had a ton of crap in my bag as it was. So I had a Venti Hot Chocolate from Starbucks for lunch. I did remember that they gave us a travel mug for the conference, so I only drank water after that.

I won't tell you what I had for dinner, although if you read my other blog you'll find out. Let's just say my blood is running a bit thicker today...

Breakfast was a carb fest, but I'm not planning much for lunch. I did bring snacks. I'm not sure what's going on tonight. But I'll try to keep it light. Promise.
