Tales from the vending machine

I was SO hungry today, I felt like I was insane. Finally, I went for a walk to...
The Vending Machine.
Yes, that's right. I stood in front of candy, cookies, chips, popcorn and ice cream (yes, we have an ICE CREAM vending machine!) and I pondered. I paced. I grew hungrier by the minute. Finally, I made a decision.
I walked away.
Being hungry used to be the ultimate (but certainly not the only) excuse for munching on snacks. Unhealthy snacks especially. Things are just so different now. I want every calorie that goes in my body to count toward something. To do something for me. I knew those snacks weren't going to fill my tummy. They weren't going to do anything but add calories! So, I walked away. And I am still in awe.
The only diversion from my "back on track" eating plan I have had was the day after my tummy virus. I started out the day with a slice of toast, but after that I stayed away from carbs. The problem I am having is with exercise. I am working up to 12 hours a day, 6 days a week. When the hell am I going to exercise! Ackk!
The job is ok. If I haven't said it before, I will say it now - I don't want to stay in this job. I think I will have a lot of work opportunities with temping, and maybe I am dumb, but if they offered this job to me, I wouldn't take it... I don't think. I mean, it would be good money... but this is not what I want to do with my life! With temping, I have freedom and flexibility. I really like that. I think I'll be "temping" in this job for another few months or so, so there is time to change my mind, I suppose.......
Anyway, I am getting a little scattered.... I think I am tired. What else is new...
