#16 - Me...

So, like I said.. I didn't get out of the office much yesterday.. We actually had a guy coming in to interview for a sales position to sell the ShoreTel phone systems so my boss asked me to dress nice because he wanted to make a good impression. I'm all for wearing a button up shirt and tie and since I knew that I wouldn't be leaving the office much I didn't have a problem with it. My normal daily attire consists of slacks and polo shirts so I'm never really dressed "down" but I do feel more professional wearing a button up and tie. Unfortunately my job requires a lot of activity at times that would make wearing this clothing a pain.

The down side of having the guy interview yesterday was that he came around noon so my boss offered to buy us lunch and asked if I would pick it up. I'm not one to pass up a free meal and I wasn't going to leave him in a bind with needing to get the food to the office so I accepted his offer and went and got lunch for the 3 of us. We ordered from Pei Wei which surprisingly isn't terrible for you. Even still, I looked over the nutrition information to make my decision and wound up getting a meal that I wouldn't regret too much. Their meals are actually somewhat low in calories, the only thing is that every meal is 2 servings so you have to make sure you don't eat it all. I'm not sure about the sodium content because it's not listed (imagine that from an Asian restaurant) but I got the Teryaki Chicken bowl with udon noodles instead of rice because they seem to be the best for you.

I don't think I ever posted that I lost 10lbs last week.. The thing is, my weight normally fluctuates between 310 and 300 and I weighed in at 300 on Monday so it's hard to tell what my actual weight loss is but I did lose 2 inches in the waist. I know that 10lbs is huge and it won't/can't happen every week, my goal is actually 3lbs a week.
